Bicycle 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.

Emily, who thankfully is pretty immune to bike lust right now, since I satisfied mine with a used Titus Racer-X this summer.....

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.

$35 is not bad for the large! That looks like a great bag. I love the clip-on to the saddle part. I really hate trying to "tie" a bag under the saddle with velcro.

This one you need to order adapter straps for, to make it fit the sprung Brooks saddle. Pretty nifty!
