    The grocery-getter/touring bike, also possibly for low-key riding. Steel frame. British racing green, possibly with cream and red-orange. Leather accoutrements. (I suppose if it's BRG, I have to go with a Brooks, right?) Racks, fenders, the lot. Knobbly tires for wet and gravelly roads.

    I'm going to stop now, at least until I have enough money to actually do this. This is what happens when I don't sleep. I start thinking about what I'm going to do with my bike next. Or with my next bike.
    I just acquired a lovely new bike (SoMa mixte frame, nicely built up as a sporty farmer's market/touring bike), and I have been riding far more because of it--but that hasn't stopped me from embarking on a new dream about a Bike Friday and a European tour.

    Let the dream percolate for a while and see if it's really something that would improve your life and be worth spending the money on. (It sounds pretty good to me.)

    Oh dear, I'm afraid I should just put that in my signature.
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
