    1993 Giant Cadex CFM-2

    I just wanted to say I love the way this bike looks especially with fenders and rack. I had a very similar aesthetic on a 1990 Trek 8000. Great bike that was. I love the way the fork randomly fades to white but actually still looks cool.

    What a beautiful gravel bike! 😉

    Specialized Epic Comp Carbon

    Very cool, although maybe not the comfiest, but fast at least? One thing to think about, and you probably have since you've got various other bikes, is to get more comfort you can lower the tire pressure more than you'd think would be okay to avoid pinching the tubes. I run 25mm wide road tires...

    Hack bike

    Top shelf, mate! I'm glad you stayed motivated to finish it.

    Specialized Epic Comp Carbon

    That bike looks really great! I'm curious how this rides, it appears you think it's stiff? I was under the impression that older carbon frames were more noodly, but it's cool that they were able to make it solid.

    Trek Y build

    This is gonna be an awesome build, the paint looks the business. I'm curious to see it all built up, wondering how modern you'll set it up outside of fork and wheels. Maybe a dropper post and 780mm bars?

    Team Marin, second ride.

    That's a classy clean bike, perfect for those gravel roads which it appears you have plenty of! I'm so curious to know where this is. Is it Greece? Or maybe Turkey?

    Ukrainian Oldschool MTB

    The Stevens and the GT are perfect. It looks like you’ve found small diameter wide bars somehow, definitely makes the bikes more usable and looks cool as well.

    1998(?) Rocky Mountain Turbo Team

    What an awesome bike! Full Shimano Ultegra 6500 including hubs (I think). It's hard to see the pedals, but it looks like they'd use Shimano SPD cleats (like for a mountain bike SPD pedal). I read somewhere on Retrobike that Rocky Mountain would have Canadian and US dealers so the bikes in the US...

    Orange Carb-O 2012

    Not usually a fan of curved tubes, but it looks proper on this bike, maybe the paint and graphics help as they're pretty sweet also. Careful with that road bike, before you know it you'll be all "watts watts watts, Pogacar hammers, Geraint's a crash monkey, ketones, recovery" etc. 😬

    Peugeot 653 Z-Team

    Thanks for letting me know that I can't live without a purple fade to pink bike now!

    1984 Peugeot Talisman Carbolite 103 Fixed Gear

    Sweet! I'm digging the red and black look, and it looks pretty proportional despite the big frame.

    1995 Specialized S Works Steel

    This is a great example of how a bike with externally routed cables can still look pretty clean, IMO. I love the color, and it looks good with both forks. I really like how slim the cranks are, would those be Specialized or Shimano?

    1995 Claud Butler Titanius Campagnolo gravel job FINISHED

    I've plastic nut and bolt containers eerily similar to yours, but being in the USA the containers are...round!

    1995 Claud Butler Titanius Campagnolo gravel job FINISHED

    These would help out your back (and probably be fun as hell to ride), but you might need a different set of brake levers. 🤔 Wait, what about these bars and a coaster brake?

    Help me build world lightest MTB

    As an add on to the concept of extremely light bicycle builds, I think that to claim the record, the bike should be required to complete one lap on an agreed upon course without anything breaking. All potential record holders would ride the same course. Or do most people think that being...

    1991 Merlin Titanium

    I'm a big fan of this one! IMO, white bar tape looks best on ti bikes.

    1989 Raleigh Touriste - 'upgrade' or leave as is

    That is a classy ride. I really like the paint and the fenders. It doesn't even look too big for a big frame. Thanks!
