My next bike is going to be...

[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.....

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.

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.

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.

With any luck and financial awesomeness, a Bike Friday Travel Tikit!

I just can't help it.
