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.

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.

Most of my kayak or bike buying lately have been after thinking about it for 5 mins. Look! A cheap _________ ! Do I need it? Yes! Buy!
There's usually a vague notion that I'm looking out for a good price on a such and such.

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. Originally Posted by OakLeaf

ooo those take a lot of practice to drive. We had something similar like that on the farm I used to work on and it was very odd... hard to steer!

My next bike... is still in Switzerland!
Apparently the 2010 BMC's will be delivered to the US dealers in Jan-Feb 2010 - so the new bike will not come home for another two months...
I better start practicing some patience!Last edited by TxDoc; 01-10-2011 at 05:55 AM.
