Really, if you're going "insane," why not get the hi-mod carbon frame? Geometry's the same. ;)

No immediate plans since I just bought my Fuji in July. But would like a cross and mixte. I have looked a little for the mixte on E-Bay and Craiglist.

Agreed. I about died when a friend asked when I was converting my new bike (Trek Madone 5.2 WSD) to single speed or fixie. meh. hipsters.

My next bike will be either

a. a better fitting Cyclocross bike. Current one is too big. Maybe a Valkyrie?
b. Recumbent - would like to have that as an option to ride when my back acts up.

Very true, and I like the black/white/red more than I like the white/silver. (I'm a high-contrast person, I guess.) If I'm going to go insane, going whole-hog might be the better way to do it. It'd just be a question of coming up with another $2100 worth of insanity. :D

Immediate plans mean nothing.

Most of my kayak or bike buying lately have been after thinking about it for 5 mins. Look! A cheap _________ ! Do I need it? Yes! Buy!

There's usually a vague notion that I'm looking out for a good price on a such and such.

far from it. If I buy a bike, I have to sell a bike for enough to pay for it.

And there's a reason I looked for over a year to get my litespeed, I couldn't actually afford what they're worth even used.

This http://bikeshopgirl.com/2009/10/bata...bub_step_xc_2/ is a cool looking bike.

...a Bianchi Milano in aquamarine with redwall tires, to use as a city bike with baskets/racks/panniers and to tote the baby trailer on errands. There's one at a local bike shop. Very yummy. My bike after *that* might be a mountain bike.

Ange, A Bianchi Milano decked out as you described sounds good to me too - minus the baby carrier though. :p

Next bike though may be a custom frame (steel). Spent a couple of hours at a very cool bike shop outside of Cleveland, OH that builds custom frames and it just seems like it would be the way to go as far as comfort and having a bike tailored to my needs. Letting loose of the $$ would be another story but I am considering it in the not too distant future. Of course a lot of research will be required.:D

That's what I'm thinking now anyway, however, when it involves bikes it is always subject to change.

A MTB. I'm not sure what kind. Not too expensive. DH needs one, too.

I've never seen it in person, but from the pictures, that is a sexy, sexy bike.

ooo those take a lot of practice to drive. We had something similar like that on the farm I used to work on and it was very odd... hard to steer! You get used to it eventually though!

My next bike... is still in Switzerland! :eek:
Apparently the 2010 BMC's will be delivered to the US dealers in Jan-Feb 2010 - so the new bike will not come home for another two months...
I better start practicing some patience!

If they ever get our train up and running, a folder. I also have my eyes on a Cyclocross but I think I will have to go custom (mmmm Luna?).

I just got my dream bike. I was looking thru craigslist and found a 2007 Specialized Ruby Comp that had only 100 miles on a trainer. A husband bought it for his wife hoping that she would ride.... Price was $1500 (instead of $2200 in 2007, and $2700 in 2010). Wasn't even planning on getting a new bike, but could not pass up getting a bike that is much more expensive than I ever would pay. It feels like a rocket! Now, I hope I can keep up with the bike club.

By the way, how do you get a picture up under your name? I put a picture in my profile, but it doesn't appear and I can't find any instructions. It's boring with only a name.

Under "User CP", choose "Edit Avatar"; then you can choose to upload it from your computer or point it to a picture that you host on the web.

BTW, pretty bike! Enjoy riding it!

I see them testing the cars all the time but it is still 4-6 months from running. It would stop me from having to drive to work and only lets off about 1.5 miles from the office so of course I want a folder to get back and forth. :)

I've decided to seriously start searching for my next new mtb. I have a friend who'll allow me to try her XS Yeti to see how that size fits. I'd like to get a new one before our club race season starts.

We've tried everything to make my bike fit but it's just that one size too big & not getting there.

For anyone that's even thinking about buying a new bike...GET ONE THAT FITS YOU PROPERLY. We knew very little when we purchased our bikes a few years ago & settled for something that felt ok but wasn't the right size. It makes a huge difference & worth the effort to find that right one.

mmm yeti. i love my current bike (gary fisher supercaliber) but i ended up with it because it was their comparable demo for the Yeti AS-Rsl and it was on some kind of massive sale.

i would have gone with a Yeti 575 if money weren't an object.
