    And if you haven't noticed yet, this site is full of advice and opinion.

    Carry on.
    I for one, hope you talk me out of spending money on all sorts of bike stuff, 'cause seriously it really doesn't take much more than a hat to drop and I want a new set of cranks or a bike.

    And if it's red, hold on to your wallet. Why do you want a bike? You have two really nice bikes. The Litespeed is speedy and The Flame is all purpose. Maybe you need a Downtown bike for times like these

    The surly's supposed to be my downtown bike! It just ended up a little bit nicer than what I was thinking. And it eats wheels. Do you want to see jah live? I could meet you downtown on Thursday, my rear wheel is repaired for now so chances are we could find a way to smash it up again.

    *cough* I actually have 5 really nice bikes. the litespeed, the carbon bike, my marin, my mountain bike, and my surly. I'm actually good on bikes, I need to sell my marin - after I decide whether my carbon bike's gonna be a triple or a double 'cause it looks like the q factor on the triple's getting to me.

    I only bought the litespeed 'cause I saw it come up used at a great price, and I'm thrilled I did, 'cause I love that bike and the geometry works better for me than the marin. I want to change the fsa gossamer cranks on the litespeed, but I've not managed to convince myself that I actually need to spend that money.

    So hopefully I won't buy another bike ever again. For a while.

    I'm trying to convince myself I need to spend the money getting fenders for the surly, because rain splatter sucks.

    And I do have a weakness for all things red.

    No... I never find nice red bikes that fit for reasonable prices. *sniffle*

    But 3 of them have red tires! 3 of them have red handlebar tape or grips.

    2 of them are naked titanium, so I could powdercoat eventually, but that seems to be a shame.

    1 of them is black, so I put red flame stickers on it.

    1 is black with red lettering.

    The blue one's getting sold. The best I could do with it was give it shiny silver tires & silver handlebar tape.

    All I want is a red kayak, as well. But I just end up with shades of blue for those.

    I do think the orange bikes on here are beautiful - Papaver's, yours' and whoever powdercoated their titanium seven orange. (I think it was a 7)

    What an amateur!

    I've got five bikes--three are red, one is pink, and one is boring silver.

    And I've got a red kayak.

    Keep practicing, you'll get there.

    Wow.

    You're like a goddess and I'll aspire to be you. Except for the pink bike. So I'll aspire to be 2/3rds of you.

    The BF refuses to make the wood kayak he's making me red. Even if I'll like it better.
