| My first 10-speed bike that was purchased partially as an 8th grade graduation present from my parents and partially from lawn cutting money I had earned. It's unfortunate that I didn't start my record keeping when I got this bike, because there's certainly hundreds if not thousands of miles on it. Later in it's life it spent many years collecting dust at my parents with an occasional ride by my father. In the spring of 2006 it came back into my possession and was tuned up…largely so it can sit at my house and collect more dust! In November of 2008 I gave this bike away. |

| After a number year away from riding, I bought this bike to start riding again. This bike easily has a few thousand miles on it from before I started logging my riding. It was on this bike in 1987 that I rode my first century. My riding was then severely derailed for a number of years while hopped around the globe furthering my career. In 1995 I was traveling very little and got bit hard by the serious riding bug. I also wisely started logging my rides from the beginning. | ||

| Once the serious cycling bug was cleary going to stick, it was a time for an upgrade. So in the spring of 1996 I started riding the most serious bike I could afford at the time. And although at this time (January 2007) I would like to make another radical step up, this bike has been (to the tune of 18.5K miles), and will be my trusty steed for the foreseeable future. | ||

| I'm a die hard roadie, but for quick spins around the neighborhood or the occassional trail ride this bike met my basic criteria; An aluminum frame to keep the weight down and solid lower end components that would perform adequately. | ||

| This bike was purchased from a friend in the summer of 2008. The initial purpose for buying another bike was to build a commuter bike. But after buying it I quickly realized that it made more sense to use this bike as my trainer bike and marginal weather bike. Then I converted my Schwinn LeTour from trainer mode to commuter bike. | ||
