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![]()
2008 Trek FX 7.2/Terry Cite X
2009 Jamis Aurora/Brooks B-68
2010 Trek FX 7.6 WSD/stock bontrager
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)
