My a-ticket ride and race bike

GOOO!!!  That Indy is lovely!!  I was looking at getting one of those, but ended up with a Seven instead.

damn you guys!  Stella has been pushing me to getting a roadie.  Now she can say, "look at all the other DMF'rs that have them"

And the problem with that is?

[Randimus Maximus]

no real problem.

I kinda like holding out on her now and again

1) Klein Rascal -- early '90s with green / black fade. Probably $!5K+ miles. It will go on the mantle someday. (even though they sell for $$$$ on eBay)
2) Ti roadbike.  Custom frame, geometry and components.  14.3lbs in 1999.  It's still a rocketship and great climbing / all day ride.  Only problem is that you feel guilty not pedaling it at 30+mph on the road.
3) Klein Attitude -- last of the pre-Trek wunder bikes. Last count was 43K miles on it since 1998 when I built it finally.  About 60% of the mileage is road w/slicks and the rest is mtnbiking.  It's been from Moab, Grand Canyon, New Mexico, Colorado, Julian, Flag, Mt. Tam, San Jose, St. Helens, Olympics to regular rides now around the Capital Forest and the Northwest.  Last "big ride" was from Seattle to San Diego in 30 days with a trailer in tow... (story here:  The Great Pacific Coast Escape )

Yes -- I'm a bicyclist without a doubt.  Enough so that currently we are designing some incredible "smart" high output LED lighting systems for night time riding.

This post is useless without pictures. 

Thanks for the complement about my IndyFab. Its a 1998 believe it or not. The original Steelman fork got damaged in a sprint crash, so I ended up revamping the bike from the frame up. It used to look like this...



If I dont end up getting a team deal on a C-dale Super Six, I would like to get a custom IF Ti Crown Jewel .

I love Steeleman products!  Used to have a Eurocross a few years back, but had to let it go.  Don't really know why I sold it instead of the Kona. 

And I will try to get some pics of my bikes up when I get back from work, deal?
