As a child through young adult I went from a Schwinn to Raleigh to Gitane to Mercier then .... stopped riding. What was I thinking????
When my GF (now the ex) ex and I got back into cycling we got GT mountain bikes. I still have "Bradley" my commuter, much upgraded and loved by now.
Wanting to do longer rides I got a Trek420, more about this bike on the "someone stole my bike" thread...gosh I came to love this "customised" bike. But no more Trek so I needed a new bike.
After much prodding on my part ("subliminal hint, get steel get steel") the ex got a Mondonico. I saw how much she liked the bike ("toldja you'd like steel").
The other name for my Mondonico should be "Revenge", I'll admit it is the Divorce bikeSame make and model as she got but...mine's full custom so neener neener neener.
They say [I]the best revenge is living well.
My 3rd bike chose me, someone threw a Motobecane Mixte in a neighborhood dumpster. I did all the checking I could to make sure it was not stollen. Came up clean. I'm having it made into a freewheel.
