I have too much bike-fi lol. here's my current road ride though
Bought the frame about two years ago to make into a fixed gear. After i got a track frame though I stripped off parts and threw the frameset in the garage.
Enter road bike i bought a year and a half ago, A lynskey R320 (? unsure, might have been an 310R) came up on ebay for a good price, got that complete. About a week ago though the frame spontaneously split on the top tube, the whole length on both sides. multiple people agreed it was a material defect, but as I was the second owner the frame isn't covered under warranty. Because I don't have the money to buy a new frame, I was kinda crap-outta-luck.
Then I remembered i had a spare road frame in the garage, and proceeded to swap all the parts over. I expected it to be super temporary, but it's a lot of fun and I might keep it like this for a while.
oh, other bikes in the stable include an IRO ss 29er (no current pictures), a peloton keirin bike, and Continuum sweet fixie
peloton:
continuum (link because slightly nws. drunken friends drew penises and whatnot all over the whiteboard behind it): http://velospace.org/node/33743
I didn't find a company who made mxl seatpost lugs. find alot of companies who make the max tube lugs. max tubing is different, it doesn't fit mxl
Feel slightly odd posting these when most are throwing up road bikes Will be getting one/fixie at some point just for town riding/going into the country, but I still prefer downhill
