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.

A sparkly red custom built mixte with stainless steel lugs, set up for touring and commuting. Two sets of handlebars (drop with brifters and albatross with bar end shifters) with quick disconnects for the cables. S&S couplers. Sweet wheels.

Fast.

**Starfish** · 10-14-2009, 12:07 PM

Lighter, more aggressive & dressed in Sram (probably).

...a long time coming.

I need to pay for a new heat pump and lots of home improvements first.

Shouldn't that be ready soon?

Isn't that already on order? When will it be ready?

**HillSlugger** · 10-14-2009, 05:23 PM

in my fantasies:

A top end Specialized Tarmac

A Blue Triad

**Tri Girl** · 10-14-2009, 05:49 PM

do I have to choose only one?

My next BIKES are as follows (in no particular order):
Trek Belleville (the new steel mixte)
Trek District
Surly LHT

Haven't heard anything, and I don't want to be a pest so I haven't called.

I'm actually pretty happy with my 2 road frames - I would definitely like to bling 'em out with dura ace or sram red componetry and get them some fancy fancy wheels...

I'm also pretty happy with my mountain bike, I'd like to get it a new fork...

My commuter bike's pretty good, I'd like it to have a slacker seat tube angle - so I should maybe see if I can get it a larger setback on the seatpost maybe.

But were I to replace the surly/commuter bike - something with a 73 degree seat angle would be good - rawlands sogn, a rivendell, or something like that... probably something I wouldn't want to chain up & commute on. Something that could double as a touring bike.

I can see the advantages of a bike friday or a brompton - but don't actually need one at this point.
