Car Info: 02 WRX wagon=dead; rollin' in a Craptastic Camry!
Currently:
2005 Yeti 575 with the middle of the road build package from Trailhead Cyclery
1993 Kestrel CSX mountain bike with a late 90's XTR drivetrain, an early 2000's Rock Shox Psylo and some sick Rolf wheels. I've put thousands of miles on this frame with three different drive trains, I don't know how many wheel sets and 4 different forks.
1976 Schwinn Twinn Tandem complete with 5 speeds and rear drum brake
Past:
Murray Baja circa 1984. I saved my allowance for almost two years before I could buy this bad boy at Wal-Mart. Back then I wondered why it didn't shift so well. Now I know why...
Yokota mtn bike which had a separated top tube from steer tube in 10 months
1992 Trek 850 - this bad boy had a shock, which was something I really thought was cool. This was the only bike I don't still have that didn't break.
2004 Ellsworth Absolute Truth - this is the bike that made me decide I would never again pay extra for made in America. The frame cracked after a couple years of normal riding and Tony Ellsworth told me to pound sand. My Yeti has taken WAY more abuse, but the Ellsworth was pretty sweet before it broke.

1. Nice GT! Is that the Pulse model? I have wanted one of those since they came out, but every time they come up for sale in my size they sell for more than I am willing to pay - same goes for the 1st generation Cannondale track frames with the steel fork.
2. Sweet Bianchi - I'm going to guess mid-80s? Below is my 1981 Eco Pista - I restored this thing a few years ago, and spent almost a year finding all of the correct parts. If you think older Campy stuff is hard to find, you'd be surprised how difficult it is to find Gipiemme parts in decent shape. I'll never, ever sell this bike - mostly because I promised the guy I bought it from that I wouldn't.
The day after I took this picture, I got hit while riding home from work and dented the top tube, broke the stem, bent the bar, and scuffed the crap out of the seat and pedals. Heartbreaking. I've since replaced all the parts except for the dented top tube, but I'll do that someday and get my repro decals put on.
