Whats everyone riding at the minute?

I just got myself a Cannondale Synapse Carbon 5 - its the daddy.

Anyway - happy with your current ride? Any plans for a change?
 
At the moment I have a Specialized Allez with Shimano Tiagra components. It's my avatar pic....
I'm pretty happy with what I have since it only cost me $200. It's a little heavy, but that is probably my only complaint.

Would love to upgrade someday...when funds allow. :)
Maybe I'll go with a Tarmac...

My first bike :) bought it last summer (edit: 2013), retail price at that time €899 got it for €639 :)
 
I'm still on a 2011 Cannondale Super Six with mostly 7900 Dura Ace. It's been good to me but since I'm planning on racing again next year I'll be upgrading to whatever my LBS team lets us pick up cheaper than retail ;)
 
Nice Bike: C59 Super Record
Second Bike: BMC Pro-Machine Record
Commuter/Tourer: Cannondale T2000 - Triple/fenders/lights etc
Moutainbike: 12 year-old Old Spesh Stumpjumper XT/XTR
Vintage Bike: 1976 Wilier Nuovo Record
 
Primary: Orbea Vitesse (circa 2002 or 2003) with full Ultegra
Backups and winter steeds: (All Cannondales)R500 Road Race and R600 Criterium, both vintage early 1990's and both with 105 index, downtube shifting and Delta V100 full suspension mtb (one of the earlier models)
Still in the box (will be 2 years counting come New Years) Isaac Impulse carbon frameset. I've promised myself that I will have it built up for the start of the 2015 season. It's hard to stop riding my Orbea though.
