    Those are stronger arguments than mine.

    other way

    I have to say we had bike envy...That bike envy was well meant-we purchase two marin mtn bikes on the spur of the moment almost three years ago (first crap bikes were stolen) but they weren''t our fit however we didn't know that at the time...

    Fast forward to January 06-Ian & I started discussing purchasing new mtn bikes...He wanted a dually & I wanted something I could improve my skills on and perhaps do some xc races......!
    I ended up with a Scott Scale 40 & he got a Scott Genuis MC 40...

    He still has his old marin whilst I sold my old one for $200 then purchased a very nice 2004 Giant OCR1...

    Bike envy is a good thing every few years...

    Sweet Bike. Pity they are not in the US. Not that I could afford one, but still, dare to dream.

    I like the way they incorporated the sign for "female" into the paint design.
    Cool!

    Terry, one of the ladies I was riding with today, has this Cannondale bike. It is blue -- no, the light changes and it's purple! Now it's blue again, no, wait, purple!
    That's my bike! I didn't get it for the paint, it is one of the few bikes that actually fit me. Lightweight, good geometry, pretty good components that have worked well for me (Shimano 105). It's a Cannondale R800 WSD, year 2001, I think. The paint is very cool, though! It's important to have a pretty bike!

    That SUB is sweet. But I couldn't help but think how dirty I would get that white seat.
