What Bike(s) do you own?

[OakLeaf]

'07 Cannondale Synapse Feminine 3
'03 Trek Navigator 200
In the basement and hopefully will see some miles this year, but really geared too tall for my aging legs until I do some serious rebuilding, '87 custom Button with Record/Chorus and American Classic...


Cycling is on the back-burner as I train for what I hope to be my first marathon in May....

[bluebug32]

'09 Cannondale Synapse Hi Mod Feminine Red
'07 Kona Jake the Snake (for sale...by the way )
'05 Kona King Kikapu
'05 Kona Cinder Cone

I'm getting married this summer, so not sure how lofty my biking goals will be. Started to train with a group and coach this year, so hoping to get faster and be able to put in more time/miles.

'09 Cannondale Quick 4 - Hybrid
'10 Felt ZW100 - 1st road bike (craigslist)
'10 Orbea Diva

Main bike until today has been the Felt. I ride about 70-100 miles a week (in better weather at least!). I've only been riding 6 months and am lovin' it!!

[SLash]

My most recent purchase is a 2010 Jamis Aurora Elite. (Just named her Bella, 'cause she's beautiful and thinks she's Italian - I wish she had Campy)

I've only ridden her once but from that first ride I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't become my bike of choice. Steel is real as they say.

2005 Scott CR1 Pro (full carbon with Campy Centaur), presently my bike of choice. "Rocket"
2006 KHS Urban X which I will be selling - never rode it much "Tank"
1994 Giant Cadex with Shimano Ultegra, my trainer bike "Ol' Blue"


My mileage goal for this year is at least 2000. We have two tours planned so that should help get the miles. Goal last year was 2000 and only did 1504. If the weather cooperates (and no accidents/injuries - knock wood) should be able to get the 2000 no problem.

2005 Terry Titanium Isis
2004 Terry Classic
1994 (ish) Specialized Rockhopper MTB

I enjoy riding my Isis the best and in the summer, it definitely gets the most use. My Classic is set up as my winter bike and my commuter (rack, fenders, lights, etc), so it's been ridden the most lately.

My goals for 2010:
Complete my first tri (May) and possibly a couple more of them later in the summer
Commute at least once a week starting next week (my commute is 20 miles each way, so this is no small task)
Complete the Crater Lake Century in August

[crazycanuck]

Roadie time's done on a 2005 Giant OCR 1
My university commute bike's a Giant OCR 3
Dirt time's done on 2006 Scott Scale 40

Anddddddd....weeeeharrrooooooo

Soon to be in our stable within the next 6 weeks is......A 2010 Titus Racer X XS frame w fork (transferring my other components over) Order's being put in on Monday & just have to wait

In terms of bike goals for 2010-Mainly mountain biking of course! All of our club XC series, 1 4hr, 1 6hr, another 100km enduro & a 12hr.

[pinkbikes]

1984 Repco Nishiki Olympic 12 (my first road bike that sits on the trainer)
2008 Shogun Ninja (current roadbike)
2008 Kona Lisa HT (first serious MTB - now on slicks with rack and panniers/bag for shopping bike duties)
2009 Specialized Era Marathon (dual suspension MTB and most expensive bike I ever bought)
2009 Holstar Roadster (tandem so DD can join us on long rides and touring)
2010 Scott Speedster S20 FB (new flat bar roadie arrived this week and already done about 100km and had its first flat tyre!)

It sort of depends what we're doing at the time which one gets ridden most. I just love the Spesh and going bush but it gets the least use at the moment because it has been beastly wet. But every time I ride it and that SRAM X-0 just keeps on changing regardless of the mud I just love it and don't care how much it cost.

When I'm training for a tri it is nearly always the Ninja that gets all the riding and I do have a sneaking love for roadies that means that it is probably my favourite despite being a relatively modest bike in name terms.

But I can already see that Scottie is going to be the "new black" for me. Almost as quick as the roadie, nicer to ride to work than the Kona.... I can see a lot of miles mounting up on that puppy!

Mileage a week - really varies. Anything from nothing to a couple of hundred km when in training for something - or 500km if I'm on a tour (not often). Not enough km lately is all I know!

Goals...
Fully regain fitness after my fall off the roadbike back in October.
Climb Mt Coot-tha without stopping to pick my lungs up off the pavement.
Race a DRY MTB race (it always rains when I race).
A PB in the Noosa Triathlon for 40km.
Cycle Queensland Tour in September.
Metric century Brisbane to the Gold Coast in October.

Glad to see someone else with an Orbea! Aren't they great???

Road:
2007 Specialized Ruby (bought in 2006)
1996 Lemond Tourmalet

Ruby gets used the most.
Tourmalet has mountain gearing. I put 28c Vittoria Ranndonneur tires on it and a bike rack. I use the Tourmelet for winter and early spring riding, times when I'm convalescing, distance rides where I know I'll encounter dirt/gravel roads, errands with panniers (although it has a pretty short wheelbase I can carry 15 lbs each pannier). I use it as a spare bike for visiting friends with similar build to go riding with.

I've been cycling for 30 years. I don't count child or teenage years but start the tally from age 20 when I used bikes for transportation and recreation. I used a Schwinn Continental from about 1980 to 1996. Not on the list since I gave it away.

Mountain:
2010 Specialized Myka HT (bought in 2009)
1989 Trek 930 Single Track rigid suspension

I rode the '89 Trek with the rigid suspension for 20 years as mt and on the road, until my aging limbs couldn't take it any more and last year got the Specialized Myka with front supsension.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

My two bikes are:
A Rivendell Rambouillet touring/roadbike
and
a made-for-me Luna steel road bike.

both great bikes! The Luna fits me better though.

Love this thread!

My bikes
I have a Specialized Dolce Sport, not sure of the year, think 2006, Trek 4500 mountain bike, not sure of the year, think 2006 and my new one a Look 566,2009. I have retired the Specialized even though I had planned on continuing to ride it. It just isn't comfortable anymore, but I am not ready to part with it. The Look fits so much better and I can tell the difference when I get on the Dolce.

Biking
I try to exercise 5-6 days a week and focus on time. When the roads weren't icy I was taking the bike out 5 days a week. Icy makes me nervous so I was stuck on the trainer for a while. Since I love being outside I was walking for some workouts. Now I am back at it and road 5 days this week. Not sure how many miles I am putting in. My bike doesn't have a sensor on the back wheel so trainer rides don't let me know mileage. Wish I invested in the better computer.

Goals
My goal is to ride 5 days a week and try to log in as many miles as I can. I would love to do a century,but I get fatigued and my lupus makes it hard to put in long workouts. Today I did 1:45 on the trainer and it felt good to push it. Also nervous about group riding. I ride solo.

I admire all of you ladies who get out there and do centuries and race.

Hi!

New here, love the forum!

Bikes: 2004 Specialized Stumpjumper (mtn)
2007 Scott CR1 Pro (road)

Ride the Scott since I can't get to the trails to ride the mtn bike. I'm a stay-at-home mom so don't have the time to drive to the trailheads (none near me) and do anything worthwhile without lots of rushing. Now that my son is in preschool I can get a good ride in and get a few things done while he is in school. Hoping to ride the mtn bike soon, I really miss it.

2010 goals are to pickup my riding again (not a friendly winter healthwise) and get back into the swing of things.

Back to riding at least 3x a week for 100 miles total.

2007 LeMond Tourmalet
2009 Lynskey R230

Riding goals:

1. To ride more often
2. Improve my climbing skills
3. Ride 1,000 miles before the snow

Some other cycling goals:

1. Find a more comfortable saddle
2. Ride in at least one event this season
3. Ride at least semi-regularly with a club
4. Not buy another bicycle unless I sell one of the others

I totally admire your last cycling goal ... it's a smart move but takes a great deal of willpower.

I've done a little more thinking about my goals for this year. I can't really ride until May, sadly (combination of school and really bad (read: uncontrollable with meds) allergies). I also decided that I need something a little more specific.

1) Make most of my rides (weather and body permitting) 20+ miles. Since I wasn't even sore after my last ride, I think it's time to up the mileage a bit.
2) Put 1000 miles on my bike.
3)Keep up with BF--he's a sprinter and has been doing this a lot longer than I have (plus he lives where he can ride through the winter... ). I'm not sure I have a chance there, but I can try.
4)Figure out where my strengths and weaknesses are.
