I think, in fact I know I am not the only member here who does a bit of cycling, maybe not all as obsessed as myself but nevertheless I thought anyone with an interest could post pictures of your bikes, it doesn't have to be an £10k super bike as long as you enjoy riding it, perhaps with a little bit about it or how you enjoy cycling.
So I have a few bikes and here is a handful of them..........
First my pride and joy the Ridley Noah SL, this aero bike took me to 10 race wins last year and I took first place in the Masters National points series for 2019. Sadly it has not been ridden at all this year.
Shimano Dura Ace Group set, Zipp aero bars, Campag Bora One 50mm wheels, Rotor chainset with Power2 max power meter.
Next up is my lightweight bike, the Orbea Orca with Dura Ace Groupset, deCadence Superlight carbon wheels K Force Hollowtech cranks, Power2Max powermeter and Selle Italia Carbon SLR Sadddle. This is for dry sunny days in the hills, I may get the chance to ride it on the Masters Hill Climb Championships next month but I have always shied away from the idea of a 4 minute vomit inducing effort, so have not yet decided. A pleasure to ride though.
Then third in line is my old race bike A Specialised Tarmac SL4 which has been downgraded to my wet weather training bike after I got knocked off it, still nice to ride just a bit heavier than the Orbea.
and finally the winter steed, a Dolan Dual, one of the few carbon frames to have proper mudguard eyes, fitted out with Shimano Ultegra and whatever wheels will go round. Mudguards fitted to protect the bike and rider from the wet and salty roads which will no doubt be with us all too soon.
And there you have it, I do have a couple of mountain bikes and an old steel Mercian but they don't get a lot of use these days.

but then of course you know that. The thing with cycling is the stronger you get the more you enjoy it.
Nice bike the Giant Defy, that's two of you got one then.
