I rode my old mongrel road bike:

My wife built this frame, from Columbus SL tubing over 20 years ago. She no longer rides, so I've commandeered it.
Anybody else here *NOT* own any off-topic bikes?

Yup.
No plastic frames, or Far Eastern TIG-welds here. Only three fillet-brazed bikes (all are Columbus-tubed Santanas). No clipless pedals, no indexed shifting single road bikes, very few non-tubular-tire-equipped bikes. No funny bikes, no 26" or 24" front wheels, no downtubes large enough for a glovebox, no carbon fibers (OK, one Exxon Graftek...), no rear clusters with more than seven cogs, no.... Well, you get the point. :-)
