My next bike is going to be...

[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.

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.
