Re: Anyone into high end road bikes?

I ride a Cannondale Synapse with Dura Ace 7800 and Mavic SL wheel set. I have only been riding a year but it helped me loose 35lbs. I try to ride 60-80 miles a week. Lots of 20 mile rides. Not the fastest ride but it is forgiving on those long rides.

I ride a Kona Jake the Snake. I put on slicks for the road. I have a Voodoo Wanga One and a Giant XTC 29 for trails.

Currently, I've got a Gunnar Roadie, full Ultegra w/ Ultegra / Mavic handbuilt wheels.

I'm having a new bike built though.

Strong Frames dirt road bike, Ultegra group, Paul Comp canti brakes, King / DT Swiss wheels.

Steel is real.

VINTAGE Steel 1985 63cm Bianchi Stelvio....... $300 bucks on craigslist. We have some asskicking hills in east TN, so I put a campagnolo ultra torque crank in and were off and running. Between my mountain bike and the Bianchi I've dumped 72 pounds since April.
Got my eyes on the new Lynskey mountain bike frame with the 2 inch tubes.....
