Why not? :D

Efficiency's new Gary Fisher Tassajara

I love Socal.

But please don't tell the norcalers, they have instruments of torture.

Mateo's Look 555

Road bikes only? :(
Do you hate fatties Joy?

Seriously though, I'm a poor boy compared to all those Carbon Record/Dura-Ace wonder bikes up there.

I go for quantity, not quality:

Giant Bowery (48x18 fixed)
Gary Fisher Tassajara (fat tired death machine, non-disc version)

Talk about our buying power of the bling!
Here's the roll call:


You just had to this, didn't you. You realize that by posting this you have set in motion a chain of events that can only lead to a divorce? :p

Au Contrare! Once Dorothy sees you rocket up those mountains on carbon fiber Eurotrash she's going to swoon all over again. You'll have trouble finding enough time and energy to ride the bike! :D

Maybe we can get a group rate.... I am feeling a little deficient with my Cannondale CAAD 3 (bone shaker) that I just put together. My wife will really divorce me if I tell her I need a new bike.

Not much new this year. Just the following:

199? Guerciotti lugged steel with Centaur10 and Scirocco wheels.
2007 IRO BFSSFG Group buy fixed (pics in the BFSSFG Pics thread).

Jim

You can add my 2007 Giant TCX and IRO BFSSFG SE Fixed Gear. Neither are blingy but both are fun as heck to ride and put a significant dent in my bank account. :D

The year's not over though and i have one more frameset in my sights...

+1000

Seriously you guys. Don't you know that bling-y bikes make wimmin hot for you? :rolleyes:;)

Why else do you think I'm married a guy who rides a Cervelo R3???

What if it's used but new to me? Litespeed Classic w/ Ultegra

iro mark v with njs stamped everything.

Wack!

2007 Roubaix Pro / DurTegra with a bit of FSA and SRAM thrown in for character.

Yep...

Mateo44 -- Look 555/Ultegra
Mel44 -- Scott Contessa Pro/Ultegra

Didn't GoFast get a fixie?

And Brandy got a Cervelo

PaulB got a Tarmac

That's all I can think of off the top of my head so far . . .

Impressive collection! :D

Do our SS conversion projects count? All the parts are new on mine except the frame, which has new paint and the handlebars which are newly wrapped. How about Luwin's SS conversion. Hot looking machine!

Don't forget me. Specialized Tarmac Expert/Ultegra

Over 850 miles since the end of June and climbing. :)

Seriously you guys. Don't you know that bling-y bikes make wimmin hot for you? :rolleyes:;)

You think I would marry a guy who didn't ride a Cervelo R3???


Not mine...all she does is complain how much I spend on bike stuff.....:(

My new one probably be in the 2008 thread...all I can do is drool and be jealous for now...

MErider1: Anxiously awaiting

Fixed Gear and Single Speed:
Efficiency: Giant Bowery fixed and Gary Fisher Tassajara


You could say that MErider1 is "expecting" :eek:

And just to be annoying, the Gary Fisher isn't single speed. Normal 22/32/44 crank and 9 speed cassette.

Not mine...all she does is complain how much I spend on bike stuff.....:(





At least yours KNOWS of new stuff . . . I tried to hide my bike in the garage for a little while, but being that it's a completely different color from the other one, it was to no avail. That's why I'm thinking if I ever get a Look 595 in white . . . at least I can probably pull it off and pretend that it's the old bike!

blue_nose got a Cervelo soloist carbon this year (I think). :)

I'm never one of the cool kids. :(

I'm never one of the cool kids. :(

Cuz you're too busy being the Hot Man.

I'm never one of the cool kids. :(


Yeah, whatever. You get the award for the coolest-destination-traveling-riding-adventure-crazyazz-picture-taking award. We all want to be like you. I got a new bike this year to compensate for my mundane existence while you're off climbing Haleakalalalalalalala or whatever . . . :rolleyes:

Actually, the SystemSix and Synapse SL frame were new for me in 2007.

OMG..thats funny...I might actually get away with that...at least until the bills showed up, then I would be living in the garage!!!

at least until the bills showed up, then I would be living in the garage!!!Might not be bad idea if it's a white Look 595... :D

OK... if you send me the links, I'll post the pr0n.

I just got my Pedal Force/SRAM Rival built in May.

Vireo got a Cervelo too.


Gawd, here I was feeling all special and now I see that I'm just part of a large overindulgent herd.

Mooooooo....

Well, at least you're part of the group.

My wallet is thanking me for being happy with my 1 yr old C'dale though. :D

Well I feel so, well, mainstream.

THANKS A LOT HAPPYTIME!

THANKS A LOT HAPPYTIME!

Anyone willing to attempt a Traffic Break in front of hammering BFers is definitely not mainstream!

OO OO, me too! I got a '83 Merckx Track bike with full Campy Record/Pista group and Cinelli bar/stem.

I haven't posted any pictures yet, I was too busy stripping off the anodizing and polishing cranks/bars/seatpost/headset up. I'll have to put up some pics sometime...

Specialized Epic fs mtb

Serotta Legend TI and Specialized Langster S/S

Just curious, does anyone have a figure $$ amount so far?
Would it be safe to say that the Bike Forums Riders are major contributors to the CPI? (At least here in SoCal?):)
BTW, Madone 5.2SL for myself.

PS-Happytime, are you only counting new bike purchase only and not 2nd hand purchase?

If the average is around 3.5k (which may be low) its around 95k so far.

I need to join this club......

Actually, anyone who posts here with a new bike in 2007... used, mtb, ss, etc. all OK.
Seems kinda odd but you're the first to post with a Trek!

My SS conversion. Former Univega. Now branded as a tax write-off for my fledgling business. Original discussion: here. (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=329909). I have swapped out the wheels since then, as seen below. I also have a lot of garden gnomes.

i want to buy another bike before the year is over.

Oh..I just realized....I am in the 2007 club..duh....
I bought a 1990 or 91 Giant Cadex 980C for my indoor trainer....
While it wont push the 2007 total up too much..I only paid $50 for it..I did score a Brooks Team Pro saddle off of it!!
