Maybe’s…

Lemond Poprad –Only real CX/Gravel so unless something else fills this niche the bike will stay.



PDG Paramount – Over achiever with a beloved color scheme yet I’ve toyed with the idea of letting it go.



Merlin Titanium – Currently the best bike setup for climbing, fast and comfortable. Respected but not loved.



Kirk Fishlips – I love this one, it’s beautiful, it’s one of only two Fishlip bikes made by David Kirk yet do I need two Kirk bikes? I really doubt I’ll let this go but….



Pegoretti Duende – Yeah I did put this one here. Mainly because as great as it is I got a really good deal on this and could probably actually make out ok selling this one.



Pacenti – Another absolutely lovely looking and riding bike. Weird geo that rides well under me though but I haven’t fallen head over heels in love with it. That could change.



Colnago CT1 – Only a few rides but this was an, “OMG, what a bike” from the first time out. Yet, like the Peg I could move this one without loosing money.



Evans – Bob Fourney (3 time RAAM winner)bike. One of his Paris Brest Paris bikes from the mid 90’s. Another unique bike that rides very well yet I could be persuaded to let it go



Gianni Motta – A nice riding, cool Giro D’Italia tribute bike with Campagnolo. Haven’t developed a true connection on the road with it yet. May change if I ever get back up to full speed again.



Pinarello Monviso – This should be a forever bike. It’s blazing fast, smooth, and beautiful. Yet for some reason I hesitate to take it out a lot. It’s weird but the original owner seemed to have such respect for this one that I think I hold back on taking a chance to scratch or chip it. IDK…I just view this one different that all the other ones.
