I've posted them before, but I'll add commentary here...



This is the older of my two road bikes, a Trek 5200 - I got it in 1993 as a leftover 1992 model.  This was the first all-carbon fiber road bike Trek produced.  It started out with Ultegra-8 components, but got an upgrade in 2005 to Ultegra-10 after I got my Madone.  This is also the bike I was riding when I had that unfortunate meeting with that red pickup truck back in 2003.  Fortunately, I had the worse injuries - my bike only ended up with torn handlebar tape and the handlebars and seat were twisted off-line; all easily readjusted or replaced:



-----



This is my newer roadie, a 2006 Trek Madone 5.9 SL- I picked it up in 2005 after breaking a rim while riding my 5200.  I went to my bike shop and originally wanted just to look at new wheels, but the owner (a friend of mine) said, "I've got a set of wheels you should look at."  Thing is, they were attached to the rest of a bike.  After a little thought and consulting with Angie, I got the wheels - and the rest of the bike.  It's been my main road bike ever since and has taken me through several races and many a club ride.  It's equipped with Dura Ace-10, so after I got the bike, I had the shop upgrade the 5200 so I could theoretically swap wheels (or other parts) if necessary.

------



This is my mountain bike, a 2006 Trek 6500.  But, I don't do mountain biking.  I do ride our local MUT once in a while with Angie and the girls.  The trail is a converted railroad route, covered in crushed gravel.  I also use the bike for riding around the neighborhood to get the girls from a friend's house, for example. 

-----



Here are all the other bikes in our house; Angie's mountain bike sits below mine, and her road bike (a 1996 model that she hasn't taken out in ages) above my Madone.  The girls are also armed with Treks; I think we sent Brian (the bike shop owner) on a vacation or two... Grin
