Ooh, check it out!

A limited number of 100 Big Dummy compleat bikes, for about $600 less ($1,850) than I was about to pay a few months ago.
Sounds like a good time to pre-order a lovely Big Dummy!
Are you getting one?
Naw. My Surly CC with Ortliebs handles all the grocery shopping and hauling needs I ordinarily encounter. Add on the Croozer dog trailer, and I can handle the rest (including hauling the 65 lb dog, which wouldn't work well on a Big Dummy).
I do yearn for one, however.... They are sooooooo lovely!
gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg (that's me drooling)
Yes. And to me they are sort of a symbol of another kind of life that I might occasionally yearn for.Quote:

I often think about adding an Xtracycle to my Kona Smoke. A whole lot cheaper, without too many downsides. Oh, but where would I put it? The only bike-free spot left in my tiny apartment is the bathtub. ;)
So far I haven't heard anyone say they wish they hadn't added an Xtracycle to their bike, nor say they regret buying their Big Dummy.
We haven't brought them up yet this year, but in winter we hang our bikes over the tub in the spare bathroom.
