Here are my two main forms of transport.
The top being my Montague Hummer folding MTB with my stereo 300W stereo system in Santa Monica from 2008, and the other my V-Rex recumbent overlooking Albuquerque from last year.
This is an old thread, but I'm bumping it because I finally received my custom frame, fork, and rack after about a year and a half of waiting. I assembled it using some parts that were on my old bike, but many were not interchangeable so it also has a lot new things. So far, I feel it was worth the wait. It's replacing my 1983 Univega Specialissima, which was a good bike but involved quite a few compromises. Until now that Univega was the best riding bike I'd ever experienced, but my new bike is in a totally different league. I'm genuinely shocked by how much better it is!
Bike Friday Pocket Rocket - airplane travel bike, fits in a suitcase
Pinarello FP6 - the workhorse bike, pic taken at the turn-around point of a self-supported century
Kestrel RT800-SL - the rabbit, just think about going and it jumps up and scoots - don't use much because of 'death wobble' tendencies on freewheel descents
Pinarello FP Team - mid-distance bike - pic taken at the turn-around point of a metric century
Pinarello KOBH - the newest in the stable, sweet bike, but still getting it dialed in
Kona Hei Hei - thought I should have at least one dirt bike
Mondia Super - have had this bike since 1972 and just can't bring myself to sell it
Trek Madone 4.5 - my tall mountain climbing bike, (notice the triple crankset?)
Not shown is my Kestrel 4000 Pro SL time trial bike or my Trek Single-Track 930.

I don’t have pics where I am and am too lazy to go back and post them (just being honest) but here’s the list:
My A ride is a Tarmac and looks almost exactly like the Tarmac posted (same frame color, same bar tape color and saddle color, only difference is that I have red tires and SRAM components).
Other rides include:
Giant Defy aluminum drop bar triple in white with a mix of 105 and Ultegra components
Fuji aluminum hybrid in black
Specialized aluminum StumpJumper in black
1985 vintage drop bar Japanese steel Fuji road bike in a blue with downtube friction shifters
This is my bike! It is now about 4 months old. So practical for me with my dynamo lights! I have added a seat cover that obscures my Brooks. I park at the transit station and on the street so better safe than sorry.
I have since added a bottle cage too! And a chain guard! Boy, I need to take a new pic.
Did you have your bike painted, Jade? And is that the original fork? It looks fantastic, by the way!
I did get it powder coated! And that is the original fork for my soma buena vista! It came out way more awesome than I expected. The handling is great too! Speedy and relaxed at the same time. I always get questions when I am out and about.
Thanks! I love my bike! And my friends are tempted to bike too because my bike is so cool!

It's a classic.
