My next bike is going to be...

And the wind whispers "Jamis Aurora, Jamis Aurora"

Aurora Elite is on the list for sure. But there are enough parts I'm pretty sure I'd need to swap out for fit reasons - and I really don't want to go any wider than 700x28 - that I just don't know.

It's long term anyway and a lot closer to fantasy than shopping. If I happened across a shop that had a 47 cm or 50 cm Aurora in stock I'd definitely take a test spin - but that's no place near me.

Since I am selling my LHT which is my trusted commuter and general 'around towner', I am looking at this: http://www.feltbicycles.com/USA/2010.../CURBSIDE.aspx until I can save up for a Luna Note: I live in a flat town and wouldn't ride it as a fixie, but as a single speed...

An inexpensive cruiser with an internal hub and basket for quick trips to the store, etc. I can't bring myself to lock up my nice commuter outside, and stripping all of the lights, panniers, etc. when I do leave it somewhere gets tedious.

Ditto. Maybe something as simple as an Electra Townie, I wouldn't be crushed if a $300 bike got dinged...but I'd cry if it happened to my Trek 7.5FX.

Zen, I thought that whisper was for me!
It just so happens that the shop that sells Jamis' (where I bought my Coda) is the only one that I have ever liked and felt positive about.
On the other hand, Seven is headquartered right near here...

If that Money Tree out back would ever start bearing fruit, I've got a Seven commuter/utility bike in mind, ready to go.

[ginny]

7, will you send me a cutting from your money tree? I have been trying to find one of those for years... of course, if it isn't bearing fruit yet...

Something red or with red on it. I like red.
