We've been above freezing and sunny for the last week with 41F forecast today. Spring (biking) fever is running high!

53 here on Sunday. I think I'll give the motorcycle a stretch.
It's been calling my name. Then, I'll take out the Santa Cruz,
and rub oil all over her sensitive parts.

Any folding bikes back in this thread anywhere? I'm thinking of getting a Brompton for a trip abroad later this year. Taking a test ride later this month, maybe. I'll require some bravery riding it in my home city, as I've never seen anyone on a small-wheeled bike here.

She likes abuse. Sometimes I'll even run her over a log, or jump her off a large rock. I'm she won't mind if you watch.
She's been admired by many woods people. They don't even look at me anymore, they just look right at her two knobby wheels, as if I'm not even there.
You should see her stretch her strut

OK, you guys are making me envious.

Nice Circle A CX. You must be TALL. I've got an Indy Fab Planet X, in fact I have 2. I loved my bike so much, I found a 2nd frame in a similar size.

My SS/Fixie/CX bike that doubles as my Chariot puller for the kids:

Steelman roadbike with Ultegra 10 kit, OddsandEndos wheelset. I've met Brent Steelman and he makes GREAT steel and carbon frames. Talk about old school.

Indy Fab when I bought it off ebay setup as a roadbike and then ready for CX racing:

On One Il Pompino in it's best incarnation, with Tufo tubular clinchers. Couldn't race this one, too much toe overlap.

Now for bike pron. Sacha White of Vanilla is one of my favorite builders. This is one of my favs that I saw at the NAHMBS years ago.

This is my bike, except I don't have the carrier on the back, it's nice and reliable, very heavy but I don't race to get everywhere on my bike, it's just for cruising around.

'08 Fuji Team road bike here. Poor thing has been cooped up in the garage all winter, and I'm looking forward to taking her out again!

Does anyone know anything about Republic Bike? Republic Bike | Track bikes, fixed gear bicycles, fixies, Dutch bikes | built by us and you

I'm not really looking for a hipster fixed gear bike so I would flop the hub to enable free wheeling, get the bike as black as possible, and leave the brakes in place. But, I'm looking for a relatively cheap commuter bike for a ride to a train station about 1.5 miles from home. This seems like it would fit the bill nicely for not too much money.
