My 52 year old bod!

A 32 hole Campy front hub laced to a mavic open pro rim from like 1990.

i use it on my cross bike.

Silca Track pump. Around 1985 or 86.

Time pedals circa 1988. They have never let me down - great pedals. They may be heavier than the current models but they work like a charm and feel great.



The pedals are on my race bike. Trek Hilo 2000.

I built my fixie up w/ vintage campy c-record stuff I scoured off of e-bay. good fun, and aesthically perhaps the pinnacle of bike components. I have a first-gen delta brake and levers, so what is that, early 80's?

1991 Serotta Colorado II. The sweetest of all training bikes.

I own an early 80's Univega Supra Sport, Sun Tour components. lol

I bought this beast on e-bay for $50.00, paid $55.00 for shipping. About a year ago I loved indoor spinning and wanted to explore outdoor road biking/Tri. Did a 1/2 IM relay style last summer, a MS 150 ride, and have fallen in love with the sport. Now I'm in the market for a new road/tri bike since I have been bitten by the bug. If anyone is considering entering the sport I recommend this path. Beats spending large $$ to find out if you like a sport or not.

I am vintage 1989 so other then my body, I guess my oldest piece of equipment is my swim cap which is from the year 2002. My old bike was a 2001 Bianchi but I sold it a while ago.

1983 - Behind the saddle cannondale pouch. Holds a tubular + some basics.

I have a couple polypro shirts from about 1984 that I do not wear regularly, but do wear when the chill dips below zero. Unfortunately, the zipper on one broke last winter so their lifespan may be coming to an end.

Early 80s Campy super record 32 hub laced to an Ambrosio Crono rim. I road race on this all season long. The thing won't die!

circa'94 Scott Extreme tri bars.

circa'88 Vitus Carbone9 with Mavic SSC group. Cafe tour bike.

ratty old shirt from my first marathon in 1989 and my fat A__ __ .

don't just do something..... sit there

1994 steel with lugs Bridgestone Road Bike. Rides like a Cadillac.

I use it for riding around town now with cyclocross tires on it.

But, initially rode it in sprint tri's when I restarted the sport. And, funny I've only ever increased my mph in a sprint by a 1/2 mile per hour compared to my Kestrel Airfoil or Fuji Marseilles.

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

mid 80s miele road bike (lugged steel - smooth baby).

1990 Canonndale Road bike with Sante' components, including a biopace crankset! Still use it for all my road riding and even the Tues. night road races with the roadies!

It ain't the machine, it's the engine!



I do ride my Cervelo for tri's..

15 year old Nike Road Shoes only used for spinning classes now with SPD. I ride speedplay on the road.

Late 80's Da Vinci (not Devinci) steel funny bike, all campy.

My road frame is a 1991 Holland. The Cinelli bars on that bike must date to about 1986.

I have a Bridgestone cycling jacket from 1989 that is my single most prized cycling possession. It's still like new.

I recently went for a run in my 1982 University of Maryland "Intramural Champion" T-shirt (for basketball free-throw shooting)

"My 52 year old bod! "

Dang. You stole my reply. Except that yours is a newer model by one year. :)

Shimano Dura Ace pedals (Look cleat system) circa '89. They still work great, but I'm thinking about replacing them just for the hell of it. I'm about to convert my '87 Bottecchia (still built up with Campy Record and Mavic rims) into a fixie.

I have a Selle Italia Turbomatic saddle circa 1991 or so. My commutter bike is a raleigh 800 from 1994.

Hmmm. Man, I don't know. I have a love/hate relationship with equipment. I replace it all the time. To me, it is just passin' thorugh.
