My next bike is going to be...

[Medianox]

Yeah, if money were no object, including paying a boy to wash and wax it once a week. Lugs on the stem = cute and only a couple extra minutes with the toothbrush. Logos stamped inside the fork: "hmmm, let's see how much more difficult we can make it to clean an area that's already an enormous PITA to clean."

Hey, its a fantasy, right? And...besides...it will give that slacker poolboy something to do in the afternoons

A bike Friday (I already have the specs. for custom-made. I visited the factory when on vacation) or Brompton.

I can't imagine a beach cruiser...sounds too hard of a ride where we live.

This one.
If only it fit.

[HillSlugger]

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.

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.

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

[Owlie]

Ah, here it is. Either this or, if I go insane, this.

Really, if you're going "insane," why not get the hi-mod carbon frame? Geometry's the same.

[jusdooit]

No immediate plans since I just bought my Fuji in July. But would like a cross and mixte. I have looked a little for the mixte on E-Bay and Craiglist.

[lo123]

far as a type of bike.
single speed-- not a poser trying to look like a hip fixie rider on a freewheel

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.

Very true, and I like the black/white/red more than I like the white/silver. (I'm a high-contrast person, I guess.) If I'm going to go insane, going whole-hog might be the better way to do it. It'd just be a question of coming up with another $2100 worth of insanity.

None of us really have any immediate plans, just bike fantasies
except for Diving Biker
