2009 Odometer: 2,340 miles
Spent a year commuting on a bike that was too small. Bought a new one, and trained up for my first century ride in 2008. To say that I've become obsessed would be an understatement.

2009 Surly Long Haul Trucker
Touring Road bike |
Description: My wife lent me use of her credit card to secure my "Long Haul Tractor" — Green with Yellow bar tape, bottle cages.
Have the current set up with Salsa S&S drops with a Terry Liberator Y saddle. Like it that way so far!
Usually also roll with my Jandd Trunk bag and sometimes with a handle-bar bag as well.

2007 Fuji Cross Comp
Cyclocross Road bike |
Description: She has problems with the rear brifter chewing through cables. Two last year, so she's sitting on a hook until I can afford to replace the brifters that she came with for something else...maybe some Barcons...damnit.
Traded out the stock stem for a 2mm shorter one at a 30° angle. Shimano SPD pedals. Selle AnAtomica, bright yellow. Totally clashes with everything, and I love it! Added rear rack for commuting. Rack moved to touring bike.
12-28 10-sp 105 cassette.
34x50 SRAM cranks
Planet Bike Fenders. Red Cork handlebar tape.
Noticed that the front fork has a chip in either the paint or in the carbon. Going to get it checked out at some point, but until then "the seagull" has landed.

1990 Shogun Sport
Road bike |
Description: This was my first "adult" bike after I outgrew my two previou bikes. I believe it's a 12 speed, but my memory is fuzzy (so is the bike, with cobwebs in my car port).
Maybe this year she'll get updated in some way... or donated to a recycling program for wayward bikes...
FLASH! Sold to the awesome folks up at Mello Velo in Syracuse.
