My next bike is going to be...

[Owlie]

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

[divingbiker]

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.

[sfa]

Fast.

[Starfish]

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

[ny biker]

...a long time coming.

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

[smilingcat]

I have a taste of a princess but a budget of a pauper. meh

I've always dreamed of a Colnago with Record.
for now I'm satisfied with my K2 Mod6. It does the job...

Bikes I long for... Colnago (did I say that already?), Litespeed Ultimate or Saber (neither in production any more), Ridley Excalibur was it??? Orbea, BH (also from Spain), Merlin, Look, and just to be decadent maybe a Prince... Also interested in Griffen Kompressor Triton (anyone here ride Griffen??)

K2 Mod6 frame <$500.00 can't beat that. though my groupo cost a lot more and so did the wheels...

far as a type of bike.
MTB-- I don't trust myself with it so nada.
Beach cruiser-- I'm like... like, so not with it...
single speed-- not a poser trying to look like a hip fixie rider on a freewheel
fixie-- I don't care to go round and round on a oval track on a wooden surface. my dogs can do that.
Fred bike-- I'm a bit of a slave to bike fashion. a bit of bike snob if you will.
recumbant-- I like to see far ahead. Vantage point is just too close to ground. Besides, I'm already height challenged and short. Don't need to make it worse. If there were cool looking periscope glasses... oh never mind.
unicycle-- too uncordinated.

I like a road bike. a one trick pony.

Agreed. I about died when a friend asked when I was converting my new bike (Trek Madone 5.2 WSD) to single speed or fixie. meh. hipsters.

My next bike will be either

a. a better fitting Cyclocross bike. Current one is too big. Maybe a Valkyrie?
b. Recumbent - would like to have that as an option to ride when my back acts up.

Shouldn't that be ready soon?

This one.
If only it fit.

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

[HillSlugger]

in my fantasies:

A top end Specialized Tarmac

A Blue Triad

[Tri Girl]

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.

[mauisher]

I'd like either a Cervelo R3 or RS....can't decide which one would be best for me.....
