Which one would you choose? I'd have to go with Bike Four among the touring bikes. I'd like to explain what I like but the pictures turn me into a monosyllabic idiot.

Phew, it was a Vanilla. They're already on my bike lust list. I was afraid you were going to post a new one I'd have to lust after. Here's another one for you, from the top of my lust list...

Some of that custom lugwork is just gaudy, IMO. My lust list will include Vanilla, but not Columbine. Some of us need to keep our lust lists small.

no i didn't need another bike to lust over, but thanks anyhow. i'll add another to my list.
the Columbine ones look like you should put them on a pedistal and not ride them. i'd be afraid of ruining it on a fall.
i've been lusting over the cross bike from voodoo. its the bright colors that gets me every time.Last edited by chickwhorips; 08-18-2006 at 01:52 PM.

I love the Vanilla Bicycles. I also love oggling these bikes.

Oh so many beautiful bikes.

Are you trying to say that you only look at the saddles and not the lugs? I didn't notice the saddles (but then again, I missed all the pics that needed java). Originally Posted by KnottedYet

I also really like bike 1 of the cross frames also.
