Hmmm, I don't think I'd want 12 bikes. Where would I put 'em? There are bikes I admire, that catch my eye, but I can't think of 9 other bikes I must have. Guess for one thing I have what for me is the dream road bike; full custom Italian steel. I got to test ride a Seven once (thanks bikerz) thought I'd feel deprived and dayuhm I love my bike.
I'd like to TRY carbon but would I want one? If I found an ol' Trek 420, I'd want it. Riv or a Surly but I'm happy with the bikes I have.
Grip shifters eh? Like these? Well, I'm sitting next to tile samples probably can't do both right now.

just got back from a little ride. Admiring the HUGE pile of dirty dishes in my sink and drinking a warm soy milk.
I tried a carbon frame once, it didn't suit me. And if I could find another Trek 420 like my dear cobalt blue steel mid 1990's, you bet I'd buy it! (why oh why did I ever sell that bike!?!?!)
I'd like an Xtracycle. And a Smoke for me (but not one with 29 inch wheels). And a 'bent. A folding bike could be good. And a single-speed just so I can be a poseur (it'd have to be a really really really little gear! and definitely NOT a fixie!) cuz I'm really not that cool.
Let's see, how many bikes is that now?

You think that's bad. I want one of those tiny teardrop trailers so Black Beauty and I can go places and find interesting rides.
