I bought my first "10-speed" road bike in college in 1969. After owning three 10-speeds, I started getting more serious around 1998, then upgraded to the LeMond Zurich in 2001. In 2004 we bought our Burley tandem - and my wife, RustyStoker, really enjoys riding and nature-watching on the tandem.

Road bike
Description:  Titanium spine with carbon "cockpit." DuraAce 10-speed. Shop substituted compact crank set by Bontrager; carbon cranks with 50/36 rings. Race XXX wheels, fork, stem, bars, etc. Purchased July 10, 2006. RustyStoker says it isn't pretty 'cause it is "just" carbon-black and titanium-silver. I love its technical look and quick acceleration. It provides NO upper body workout when it needs to be lifted!
