You got a balling garage there sir.
Mine is very simple...
My race bike: Caad9, 105. Cheap + if crashed, no huge wallet pain.
My training bike (ridden daily): Cervelo T1.
Both bikes were gifts from the wife

T1 was never a light frame to begin with (as much as cervelo likes to claim it).
Infact, the frame is nearly 2kg. It's as heavy as a steel frame pretty much.
As it sits, it's 19lbs on the nose. Weighs the same as my caad.
Too heavy? PEDAL HARDER

Imagine if it had an actual drivetrain... and brakes on both ends!

They've got arrive-and-drive rental bikes and gear for n00bs. I've always wanted to try riding on a track.

Indeedy. It's fun. You really feel the G forces trying to push your head down in the bends. And that 'drome is so steep -- 50 degree banks. They're also building another velodrome in sauga. More local, should you be interested in going.

My old bike, currently the guest/winter bike. Bought through CSi:ON. 6" of travel, single pivot.
My principle bike. Carbon fiber, XTR drivetrain, Elixir CR brakes, tubeless tires, etc.
I like some road riding but not sure I'll ever have a road bike. I love the trails.

so badass! What's the first one, a blur? (wait, that doesnt go 6 inches does it?). Awesome awesome awesome.
I like trails, but gotta drive to get there. Driving to go biking seems counter intuitive to my little brain

22lb full susser omg.
That's insane, and sounds like you have a sweet loop going on.
I used to do the don...on an old proflex 656. I used to adore that bike when I was growing up. But riding it now, you really see what a death trap it is! Oh man, talk about mega rear end flex...even going down a hill. It's so squirrely.
I like tarmac stuff more...more fun and I'm a sucker for speed. But I always look back to the MTB. That's tempting always

I suck at pictures, even more so at bike pron pictures
Garage Bikes
7"/7" Downhill - Replacing in the spring for something 8/8 and longer wheelbase
Park Bike - Bought it when I was about 18/19. Great bike for Rays in the winter
Fully rigid, SS 29er - Winter bike. Needs some work and a new wheelset
Kitchen Bikes
Norco Road bike - Old entry level norco. Hopefully replacing in the spring with a tarmac
Norco 26" Hardtail - My go to bike, absolutely perfect geometry. Has seen many different builds, will ride it for many more years.
Specialized 29" Hardtail - My carbon beauty. Under 20 lbs without pedals. It is a fucking rocket and stiff. Use it for weekend riding in michigan and racing. Can ride it for 4+ hours and not get the hardtail fatigue. 2x10 pwnz.
Recently sold my santa cruz superlight. Full suspension cross country bikes are lame. end of story.

Has anyone ordered stuff from Jenson USA or Chain Reaction Cycles in the UK? Thinking about purchasing a few things.
Jenson includes shipping/brokerage like Tirerack.
CRC usually has the best prices, and largest inventory, has free shipping (with pricepoint), but hit and miss on customs fees.
