Any of you ride modern bikes?

first nice road bike I bought in 1984. Centurion comp TA with Shimano 600. $465.00, big money! changed the bars and took the front derailleur off a few years back. I bet I have well over 10,000 miles on this bike. this was my only long distance bike for the first 12 years I had it. 2nd pic is when it was new. did 54 miles per hour on it once fastest I have ever gone on a bike.

this is my 1996 Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo. named after a trail up in Marin County somewhere.. put 900 miles on it the first summer I bought it and lost 40 pounds.... don't worry, I found them since then. haven't done any off road rides in a couple years. added taller old man handlebars last year.

this is a 2001 LeMond Maillot Jaune (Yellow Jersey) 19 lbs, Dura Ace, Reynolds 853 frame. bought new in 1992 when I was 42. wish I had this bike when I was 22, I bet I cold have cut an hour off my century time. sold it for $1500.00 a few years ago and bought it back for $300.00 with an extra set of fat guy wheels that the new owner bought for it. I put the aero wheels back on... 24 bladed spokes on the rear and and 20 bladed spokes up front. looking into putting "mustache bars" on it as I am no longer a "on the drops" guy. I don't ride this one much. these are the only 3 bikes I bought new. been riding since I was 5 and never stopped.

Not just TI, it's a MOOTS! I'm thinking about a YBB for my next gravel.

Nice rollers! I used to work at a shop and Jim Felt lived down the road. And yes we sold Felt.

I don't really ride the old stuff. The orange bike is probably my best concoction ever. It was a mid oughts Soul Cycles Titan long travel hard tail dual slalom frame that I turned into a commuter. It rides so sweet.

I wanna ride your RLT,...

The RLT is currently waiting on a set of carbon hoops from Nobl built up with a set of Industry Nine hubs. It’s a real fun ride and a do it all kind of bike. Probably my favourite of my modern bikes to ride at the moment. A set of 40+ mm tires on it and it will go anywhere.

My favorite go-to.

OMG! Awesome!
I cut my teeth on singlespeeding when friend lent me his bianchi DISS. Love the bianchi mtb singlespeed series!

My 2004 SASS used to race singlespeed but then everyone went 29er.
