I know you guys are all proud of your bikes and stuff and I really don't want to come off as trying to one-up anybody, but I'd like to share a pic of my bike.
it cost me my whole life savings, but I said what the heck.
I know, pretty awesome. It has front springs and everything.
My wife bought it for my son ($75) to use his freshman year on campus, but after that it just sat so I snagged it.
I've been putting around 30 miles a week on it, which translates to 100 miles on one of newfangled light weight bikes.
