Nice thread Matt, finally posting on it
I currently have a 1969 Schwinn Paramount Road bike. I still run tubular sew up tires on the Mavic rims. Full Campagnolo Record, Cinnelli Stem, bars and seat post.
I also have a semi run of the mill Trek aluminum frame road bike. Great bike for $700 I must say.
In the past I used to Olympic style track race at the Northbrook IL and Kenosha WI velodromes. Used to have a Paramount track bike and also one made by Oscar Watson.

I've had my Fit for a few months now and am enjoying the experience. My son and I race bikes and we're able to haul 2 bikes, extra wheels, a cooler, overnight stuff, and various odds and ends all over Florida and still get 35+mpg!
I do have the occasion to haul three bikes and am considering a Thule Helium. Of course this means I'd have to install a hitch. I'm looking at one made by Valley. Valley Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver V58630 : Trailer hitch bike rack and trailer hitches - etrailer.com Has anyone out there had any experience with this hitch?
I'm choosing the helium rack and this particular hitch because it seems to offer the most weight savings.
