Just got done tearing her apart and painting the frame. Had it for a couple years now, had to upgrade just about everything on it due to breakage, but now it's pretty dang stout.
'09 Specialized Pitch Comp, used to be Satin Red. Don't really like the flashy colors, though.

My newest addition, half way between a mtn. bike and a cyclo-cross bike:

Just getting all the build finished and doing some test rides. Hope to get it out on some single track this coming weekend. But so far it does great on and off pavement, cruises along on flat dirt paths just as fast as you can ride on pavement, which was one of my goals for this bike. And have had a chance to make a few single track trail rides and it is a blast:
Recent addition was to add a dropper seat post, really helps out on the steep descents and on the more technical trails with the 4" lowered saddle height.
And wanted to take the wear and tear of riding my '73 vintage Schwinn on fire roads and single-track trails:

my jamis dakota sport. i got it for commuting while up at school. with a rack and bags, it held over a week's worth of groceries. i also have some knobbies that i throw on for mild trail riding and light snow
(the tires on it in the pic are kevlar-lined. i ran over a piece of glass, and didn't know it until i was swapping out the tires and found the glass never made it to the tube. great investment)

My rides
Had forgotten about this section. Here's my rides..
New addition is '13 Stumpy 29er. I got the aluminum just couldn't justify the price of carbon fiber.
My roadie, '08 or '09 Tarmac. Yes carbon fiber!!! Could only afford the carbon used.
Here is my firt sprint tri last summer on 2006 Raliegh Mojove 8.0, lots of upgrades.

Been trapped at home hurt...I have decided Im going to get my bike ready for when I get better and to use in for some PT to help get my core stronger if I get another back surgery.
