View Full Version : My Stable. santosjep 07-02-2006, 12:51 PM Here's my current collection. The Mrs and I currently are maintaining 5 bikes (4 mine and 1 hers). :) Sadly my Wilier would have to go. Anyway, I took pictures of the 5. Hope you like them. Somec Starlight Orbea Zona Wilier Triestina Lavaredo Guerciotti Twister Coppi Aluminum Ride Safely!

Probably the brick red cork tape growing ivy.. :) santosjep 07-02-2006, 04:11 PM you must be flexible as hell! You must be refering to the Coppi. That's the Mrs'. I'm 6'1'' and she's 5'2''. All 4 bikes have close to identical fit. Joe covenant 07-02-2006, 07:14 PM You must be refering to the Coppi. That's the Mrs'. I'm 6'1'' and she's 5'2''. All 4 bikes have close to identical fit. Joe No, I'm talking about the 4 foot drop from saddle to stem....I don't know which would hurt more (for me) my neck or my back! santosjep 07-02-2006, 07:25 PM No, I'm talking about the 4 foot drop from saddle to stem....I don't know which would hurt more (for me) my neck or my back! Ahh... got it. Nah. Doesn't hurt a bit. The fit is actually quite comfortable. Joe estone2 07-02-2006, 07:33 PM No, I'm talking about the 4 foot drop from saddle to stem....I don't know which would hurt more (for me) my neck or my back! 5" on mine. if you're stretched out right it doesnt hurt at all. i've taken it on double centuries, imperial units. (I think imperial... Mi, not km) then again i'm 15. my butt hurts more than anything else, but that's due to my sickly overpadded saddle -estone2 covenant 07-02-2006, 07:45 PM then again i'm 15. Well, I'm 40...so there ya go! :thumbsup: Mr. Versatile 07-03-2006, 06:04 PM Love the paint job on the Somec. santosjep 07-03-2006, 06:27 PM Love the paint job on the Somec. SOMEC paint jobs are amazing. That's the first thing I noticed when I first saw SOMEC bikes at a local bike shop. There's a limited edition paint job for the 2004 Starlight that made the bike look like a Tigershark plane. Shark teeth and all. :) Joe blandin 07-03-2006, 06:44 PM Very nice bike collection, you're a lucky guy, and the backdrop is more interesting than the traditional garage door too. JaeP 07-03-2006, 11:30 PM It looks like you have a different seatpack for each bike. Do each of your seatpacks have tools, spare tubes, etc. for each bike? For example, I have 7 bikes but only one seatpack that I transfer to which ever bike I'm riding that day. Just curious. . . . santosjep 07-04-2006, 07:51 AM It looks like you have a different seatpack for each bike. Do each of your seatpacks have tools, spare tubes, etc. for each bike?

Yup. :) Each bike has a pack :), with a multi tool, tube, tire lever, patch kits and a Cliff bar :). I thought I could do with just one, but I, at times forget and ride without one... bad joe.. bad. Joe santosjep 07-04-2006, 09:19 AM Very nice bike collection, you're a lucky guy, and the backdrop is more interesting than the traditional garage door too. I dont have a garage so, no garage door :). thanks for the kind words. I love my bikes and it will be difficult to let go of the Wilier. Ride safely, Joe |
