Nothing compared to a lot of the bikes posted but here's my Trek 1.7 which I've had for a few years.
Frame: Trek Alpha black aluminium 58cm.
Forks: Bontrager carbon with alloy steerer. Painted black as the paint started to bubble from corrosion at the brake bolt.
Bars: Bontrager Select VR
Stem: Bontrager - I'd like something a little sleeker as the clamp sticks out a bit at the back and I've scraped my knees a few times recently.
Headset: Cane creek
Bar Tape: Lizard Skins
Brakes: Shimano 105
Shifters: Shimano 105
Front Mech: Shimano Ultegra
Rear Mech: Shimano Ultegra
Seat: Specialized Phenom
Seat Post: Bontrager carbon
Cranks: Shimano 105 compact
Chain: KMC with Chain-L lube.
Cassette: Shimano 105
Pedals: Shimano 105
Bottom Bracket: Shimano Ultegra
Front Wheel: Bontrager SSR
Rear Wheel: Handbuilt Open Pro on 105 hub. Keep meaning to get round to a matching front but haven't yet...
Tyres: Michelin Pro Optimum 25s. Grippier front and more durable rear which seems to work well.
I like these little frame protector things from Decathlon - although I wish I'd had them from the beginning because the paint was a little marked even with stick on patches.
And Specialized BG pedal extenders which have helped my knees and feet. You can see that I used to strike the crank but now I have about 10mm clearance and my pedalling is a lot more comfortable.
Got them on my winter bike too. Like this but now with the stem flipped:

I'm left handed, if that matters.
