Let's see ... my shop has 5 employees, so maybe that disqualifies us. Our regular rides are:

Tony ... 25th Anniversary Somec with 25th Anniversary Dura-Ace ... Interloc scandium/carbon with Dura-Ace ... Fuji ti track bike, with Dura-Ace track components

Shane ... Serotta Hors Category with Campagnolo Record 9-speed ... Somec Altec 2 cyclocross with Dura-Ace/XT

Tim ... Breezer Venturi with Campagnolo Record 10-speed ... Sycip single-speed Mountain Bike with Paul Components ... Bontrager cyclocross Dura Ace/XT

Nick ... Gunnar road frame with Dura-Ace

Steven ... Ron Cooper with Campagnolo Record 10-speed ... Interloc cyclocross with Dura-Ace/XT ... Waterford track frame with Gipiemme track group

Tony and I ride our track bikes most often ...

Tony rides regularly switches back and forth between the Somec and Interloc

Shane rides his 'cross bike most often during the winter, and his Serotta during the summer.

Tim rides his Breezer in good weather, races the MTB and Bontrager, and drives in bad weather.

Nick hardly rides anymore, because he's into restoring an old Toyota Landcruiser, rock-climbing, and studying to become a fire fighter.

I ride my Waterford M-F, and my Cooper on weekends, unless the weather is bad on weekends, when I ride my Interloc (stainless steel) or Waterford.
