This is my hardly used mountain bike (apparently I can only post 1 attachement per post and I've re-sized to the point where its tiny, is there a better way of attaching a decent sized file?)

This is my hardly used mountain bike, that I will eventually use when the family are out for a ride

And this is my daily road bike, a 2nd hand 2008 Ridley Eos with Shimano Tiagra and 105 pedals, running 23 width continental gatorskins
Very nice :D (can't see the pics but it sounds good!)

And this is my daily road bike, a 2nd hand 2008 Ridley Eos with Shimano Tiagra and 105 pedals, running 23 width continental gatorskins - forgot to mention before its an Aluminium frame with carbon forks - got my eye on a full carbon bike with Shimano 105 groupset, or maybe ultegra if i'm feeling rich
hopefully this should work this time, had no end of trouble, never bothered with photos on here and never used my dropbox account that was free with my phone, so had to go through a quick learning curve

Pih.
I figured despite all the snow coming down I could cycle back from work on plowed bike lanes on my mtb without breaking a sweat, I figured wrong. :D
It took 65 minutes to get back home, in summer time I've done the same 11 km ride in 24 minutes on a road bike with roughly the same effort. Still, from an exercise point of view it's all good.
Oooohh I want to post a picture of my bikes. It was a boring black 2010 Specialized Dolce Sport but my other half has pretty much rebuilt it and blinged it up over the last few months. My new shimano 105 shifters arrived yesterday, once they get fitted next week it will mean the only original parts left are the frame, wheels and seat as everything else has been upgraded. It now has 105 brakes, front and rear derailleurs with a ultegra chain ring, carbon bars with a supercool black and purple colour theme. Well I like the new colour scheme anyway. Would like to get a new set of wheels but its had far too much money spent on it lately to justify spending more money. Might have to wait until next winter.
Going out for a 50km ride tomorrow and hopefully it will be the last time I have any shimano sora on my bike.
Nice to see some picture of your rides!
Mine is still in many separate parts at this time, hope to have it put together by the end of this month, I will post a picture when it is done.
having spent a lot of time and money to get all the parts that I need for my bike I feel I can give one good advice to those looking to improve their bikes. Unless you are buying the parts during closeout sales you better go for a full bike with better specs, it will be cheaper because buying upgrade parts at regular prices is way too expensive.
I have two bikes that I really should use more. First of all there's the newer one. It's an Ocset Special.

Then if I'm feeling nostalgic, I'll wheel out the Townsend for a ride.

I'd love to use them more, but my legs need working on. Have no stamina at all and anything more than a slight incline is a hard task! Have been asked to go cycling round a windfarm on Sunday, but I think the weather is going to put a stop to it. Love walking, could walk for miles. Just can't seem to transfer that onto a bike. Did a lot of cycling around 15-18, but that stopped when I learned to drive and started working.
The Townsend brings back memories for me. I had an Apollo from halfords as a kid but many of my friends had Townsend and Peugeot bikes :)
