Much of the time I refer to myself as a "Cannondale guy", so it's no surprise I have a companion to my SuperSix, a 2002 R2000 Si in Saeco team colors. Probably because of the dominant Italian Saeco team, the bike came stock with a Campagnolo Record headset and a pair of the company's Proton wheels. Otherwise the bike came with Shimano Ultegra, though I installed the cool, spiraling Sakae/Ringyo CR compact cranks. See more photos here.
Claude Criquielion was a favorite of mine when I first became a pro cycling fan. The Belgian star won La Flèche Wallonne in 1989, while aboard his Hitachi team Eddy Merckx Century similar to this. I've used Cinelli Criterium bars, a Selle San Marco Rolls saddle and first generation Look pedals, like Claude used, but I built up my version with Campagnolo C-Record components.

My 2008 Cervélo Soloist Carbon is in the CSC Team colors, as all-time favorite Fabian Cancellara rode this model bicycle to victory in that year's Milano-San Remo. The bike has SRAM Force drivetrain, 3T stem and fork and Zipp 30 wheels. You can view more photos of the bike here.
This 2008 Pinarello Prince was a bit of a dream bike for me - a replica of the Caisse d'Epargne team machine from that year. The "Prince of Spain" bike I so love, ridden by Alejandro Valverde, would be INSANELY rare and pricey, so I settled (slightly). Unfortunately, the frame developed some issues and is now just a wall hanging in the Cycle Tech "Museum". View more photos here.
