Time to clean up the primary road beast.  Its a 2010 Ridley Compact that I really like.  I wouldnt say its the most compliant and comfy ride; its stiff and steady.  I bought it through Competitive Cyclist and they were very helpful with the online process and setup discussions.

Mine looks like this at present...

 

I havent decided if removing the fork is needed just yet.  I have broken it down to address some corrosion, balky cables, and broken items. 

Broken derailleur pulley...

Corrosion under the tape.  A reason to re-wrap annually, yo...

Time to refurb a few things.  I need this bike on the road by March!
