How about a thread showing your trusty steeds. Aka pictures of your garage door.

Here is my 2001 Serotta Csi. My fleet vehicle.

The Csi was Serotta's last lugged steel offering.

My 2003 Tommasini Tecno. My I-talian ride. I love lugs, especially of the chromed variety.

The first is my grocery/utility bike, shown with my Burley Faltbed trailer. I bought this bike new in late 1992 (when I was in 8th grade), and it's still going strong. It's the only bike I would never even consider selling, partly due to sentimental value and also because it's just so darn useful.

Next is my Surly Long Haul Trucker, which I intended to use as a commuter (and did for several years). But it really kind of sucks when it's not loaded down with 60+ pounds of gear, so I'll probably sell it.

Last is my early 80s Univega Specialissima, which is easily the best bike I've ever ridden. I bought it for $50 and then kept changing and tweaking things until it finally ended up like this, which is nearly perfect for me. The only things I would change to make it perfect would be a) vertical dropouts to work better with fenders, and b) that it took 650b wheels and had clearance for 42mm tires.
