Second Bike?

[Triskeliongirl]

I also like to have a travel bike as my second bike, but I like my latest travel bike so much it has become my first bike (i.e. bike that I choose to ride most). I used to have a bike friday that was stolen. I quickly replaced it with a terry titanium isis as my 'go fast bike' and used an older terry classic touring bike for commuting. Then a terry steel isis frame on ebay caught my eye (2003 reynolds 853 never been built) which I picked up for a song. The catch, it had no fork and no commercial forks were available, so I sent it to a framebuilder, who not only built me a fork, but installed s/s couplers to make it a travel bike, and canti bosses so I could use a wider range of tires (23-32c). I absolutely LOVE this bike. Since she has sport geometry and is made of light steel she is funner to ride with than my touring bike, but the reynolds 853 steel is so stiff she feels faster than my titanium isis despite being heavier (I also think she fits me better, she just really agrees with me). So, now I have the titanium isis set up as a commuter and my steel travel isis is set up for fast club riding, and of course packs in a suitcase for travel.
