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.

Seamus
09-11-07, 10:44 AM
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).

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...

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!

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.

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!

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:

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...

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?

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.

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!!
