Wow. With a 22 month waiting list, I have plenty of time to save $ and become a better rider, LOL![]()

I stumbled across their site a couple years ago and have been lusting for one since. Something about those frames, the way the V is carved in, gosh it's beautiful!
They are lovely.

OMG, a cycling friend of mine just directed me to their webpage for the first time a couple of days ago. I've been dreaming of one ever since!![]()
Aren't they beautiful??![]()
Nice bikes
I think I'd need 22 months not just to become a better ride, but to start a huge fundraising campaign to raise the money for the bike![]()
OK, I haven't even clicked on the link but I'm going to guess this is Vanilla Bicycles web page. "Lust" is an understatement.
And I can't even ride a DF anymore!
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.
I chose a Serotta, only a 3 mos wait!![]()
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...

I also really like bike 1 of the cross frames also.
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.Originally Posted by Deanna

Nice...40th birthday is 15 months away...I better hurry up and put in my order!![]()
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.
