Thanks! I bought it off a guy for $300, cleaned it up myself then stripped it down, I got rid of a lot of the stock parts and upgraded them.
The Omnium crankset on there is overkill but its so so good
. At the moment I'm running it as a single speed with a front brake. I got into a wreck (car pulled out in front of me) not so long ago, and naturally that does some damage mentally. I'm moving soon though so I'll have more places to ride as a fixed gear.
Love that Orca, are those ZG brakes, or Record? Great looking bike, and I'm sure it's fast!
@ Obsidian - Thanks!!
@ blackfox - What kind of bike is that? I love those, and am looking for one to use to tool around in the city and ride to work...
I like the Electra Amsterdam, but I would like some other options too.

The white looks OK, but it'd look better with a matching saddle. Keep the tires black.
It's a Flying Pigeon.
It's only about $300-$400. It is all steel, including the rims - so switch them out if you are somewhere that gets wet - as you won't stop very well otherwise. Brakes and other components on mine are upgraded from Chinese specs (they come stock with drum brakes!)
The Amsterdam is pretty cool - I looked at one before buying my Pigeon. Personally, I'd probably splurge on a real dutch bike - like a WorkCycle or Batavus, if not going bargain-hunting like I did.
I'm super jealous of all the bikes on here! Mine is crap in comparison, but it works! It's a Raleigh Mojave 5.0. (This is not my picture)
7 year old bike. Went on my first proper ride today which was about 30 miles. Preparing for a 120 mile trial on the Pennine Bridleway.
Spent the last 2 weeks fixing and tuning it up and the ride went flawless.

Thank you very much, it's a very nice bike to ride.
I'm 6' 4" and 225-230 lbs so I needed a bike that would fit my larger body frame. Serotta custom built this to my measurements so it's extremely comfortable to ride. Actually, it was the 7th CXII Ti off the manufacturing line so my wife dubbed it "007." It's a titanium bike (with carbon forks) and Serotta stopped manufacturing the titanium version at the end of last year because their titanium supplier didn't supply them with the proper materials that was up to Serotta standards. You can still get the CXII in steel, though.
Unfortunately my speed on the bike doesn't push this bike too much but I'm working on that so I can really make the CXII hum on a bike course.
^nice paint job, looks beautiful, is it a head turner? Its a shame the picture is a little small and dark
It's all stock, but it does turn some heads thanks to the colours.
Sorry, I sized it to 604 px wide for Facebook. I'll take some better photos later.
I rode home from the gym last night and was eager to take a photo so I just propped it against the wall.
Sure did. Still not quite used to it. Stopping is no biggie, since Ive got the brake, but starting is embarrassing unless the pedals are in a particular position!
Fondriest P4 Carbon, Shimano Dura Ace: used to log in about 250-300 miles per week. Haven't been able to ride like I did since moving (traffic, location).
