Like Knotted, having recently satisfied my bikelust, I'm working on accessories and apparel.
But like Trekhawk, I would like to head to Chattanooga and have Lynskey build me a custom bike. There only a couple of hundered miles away!

well, i found some bikes to lust after. Two different brands, Mondonico
and Torelli!
There's a bike shop south of me (Spoke & Sprocket, near Tacoma) that seems to specialize in steel road bikes. They have a lot of ITALIAN Stuff. yes, I'm italian too.
They also think it's important to have room for fenders.
No photo yet, but it's certainly distracted me from what I should be doing today, that qualifies as bike lust

I adore that creamsicle Orbea! Gorgeous...
I agree about orange becoming popular. Love the orange Elements too (my stepmother has one -- I have the 2004 green). Just bought a lovely new, ultra-light women's sleeping bag today at REI: Sierra Designs Glow. It is a new product from this company and is gray and - yep - orange! I'd been coveting it, so when I saw it had just gone on sale, I let my REI Visa do the talking!
I'm kinda liking orange lately....I guess I got tired of all the pink stuff. And of course, blue is always nice.

Oh ... I wish they'd had that when I bought my new bag last month! I got the Marmot Angel Fire, which is not only heavier, but is that boring color a friend of mine calls "outdoorsy girl blue." Half the stuff I own is that color, and it is so boring.

Anybody have the large Ortleib saddle bag? (seat bag)
this one:

I'm lusting after it. Almost 3 liters of storage. That'd be great! And no need for a rack or seat-tube rack."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
