That's an amazing picture. Did you take it?
Sure did, thanks for the compliment. Got a small little nature preserve down the street makes for a good place to take pics.

Here's one of mine.
My Richard Sachs Signature on the Gold Rush Randonnee this year.
Also sitting in the garage - 2010 Speedvagen, Carl Strong, Salsa El Mariachi, Surly Moonlander, Masi Gran Criterium, Masi Nuova Strada, Andy Gilmour, Alex Mead, Schwinn Home Grown, and a Trek of some unknown variety.
You have a Moonlander?! That's awesome. I rode one last summer, now I really want a fatbike. My buddy has a Pugsly Po.I'd like to see a picture of the Masi. Is it decked out in Campy Record?
I'm thinking of getting a nicer bicycle. There's nothing wrong with my Schwinn single speed, I just want something nicer, and not as brutal to go up hill or across non paved terrain. It doesn't have to be a super serious mountain bike or Tour de France rig.
What's up with Shimano hardware? My wife and I had two different bikes with Shimano hardware. They were both junk. The Shimano shifters were junk. They skipped, didn't shift smoothly and made a lot of noise. We couldn't even get the bikes to pedal in each gear. Total crap. We tried tuning them up by the directions and by watching how to videos on You Tube.
I see some of these supposedly nicer bikes, and they have Shimano hardware. Some of it looks identical to what we had. Im hesitant to buy something supposedly nice when it has the same parts that were troublesome on two different makes of bicycle.

Nice stable, I have been doing carl's website for a while now... How do you like it? Carl does amazing work IMO.
Own an ibis tranny, alliance townie-cross-thing and Curt Goodrich rando myself. Still need to build up the Goodrich, lacking cash for a wheelset.
Here's mine. It's a Madone 5.5 with all SRAM Force and I put Neuvation wheels on it.
For some reason, a local shop was selling these for an absolute steal a couple years ago. By coincidence, someone stole my Trek 1000 right before these went on sale, so win-win.
This is my old Junior High / High School bike: 1987 Bianchi Campione Del Mondo. My parents found it in storage. I'm hoping to get it dusted off and tuned-up for riding this summer.
1992 Mountain Cycle San Andreas
1999 Dekerf Team ST
1999 Schwinn Homegrown 4 Banger
2009 Yeti AS-R

Plus an old Mongoose and Jamis. Then Kona/GT/Fisher/Balfa in bits and pieces.
