Ditto - except you're a young-un.

I am looking for better riding weather on Saturdays than we had last year though.

treebound 

I keep thinking of a long distance bike, touring or randonneur (either/or). I might already have it but won't know for sure until I finish some projects and get some test rides in. But if something definite comes along then I'll definitely give it some good consideration.

In the mean time I'm in a slow purge mode, getting rid of stuff that doesn't fit (like the three 59cm bikes I'm trying to unload) and working my way down to just the keepers and a loaner or two.

Maybe I'll go post something in the swap thread.

What am I looking for? I'll know it when I find it, but for now it is a fairly blank sheet and just some thoughts on a map and an unknown bike to connect the dots with.

Did you see my note in FS/Wanted?

I have a dream of finding a mid sixties to seventies racing frame to build up with all the NOS Campy gran sport components I've been collecting. Like a Raleigh Gran Sport.I somehow think it'd be "different" and cool to have a great road racing bike that isn't "top-of-the-line" Campy, but still all campy and with a middle range Reynolds 531 frame. ( It's kinda like what I started on 35 years ago). You know nostalgia for old farts like me.

What size PX-10? I have a huge one if you're in the market?,,,,BD

Silver 1978 model..

I am not looking for anything but if a Trek 2300 in a 54 or 56cm turns up at a good price I will
have a hard time turning it down.

I bought more bikes than I should have this year (who hasn't) but aside form the second Proto I wasn't really looking for them. they just caught my eye and seemed a good deal. the only bikes I am really keeping an eye out for is the mid '90 Bianchi Mega Ti witht he big DT in a 59. also I would love to find a '90 Intercept cross bike, Bianchi, it was another MAX tubed bike. I'll try and post pics later

BluesDaddy

couple on ebay right now...

WesPX10

want to find another huffy santa fe, and/or a Torpado but i'm always looking for another lion of france.

Dannihilator

This year, it's a new track bike for me.

stausty

I think I can get down to 2 bikes if I had these:

Single-speed commuter w/ fenders and aero brake levers
Vintage steel with modern drivetrain - already got Campy 8s brifters

Both frames would ideally be 60 cm, stiff, and light - Tange #2 or possibly 531. And something understated with a few nice touches - an upper-end Miyata, Centurion, or Gazelle.

Oh, and some nice double-walled rims to build up the Normandy Competition hubs I've been saving.

cyclotoine

I'd love one too. English gent came through the shop with one last summer. Rolloff is the only way to go with that.. For now I will have to content myself with the Soma Saga I have yet to assemble.

It is getting easier, thank goodness. I also have no time for flippers these days

I'm sure you have mentioned this many times and that I have read your mention of it, but please remind me what that is?

You mean you would only need two bikes? total? How many do you have now.



I would like to order a custom Serotta Colorado upgraded to the s3 fork gloss black with silver decals. I may actually get this.

My problem is I feel I should let a couple of my bikes go. I'll lose money on them, but I haven't had any interest in riding either of my two vintage bikes in the last year... it's a shame... I never get out on leisure cruises anymore.. everything is a training ride. The velodrome is closed so the track bike sits (not that I'd have time to ride it) too.

oldpedalpusher

Just two on and off-road utility transportation vehicles will last me the rest of my life.

A 1988 Fisher MTB... and a 1974 Raleigh 531.

Fast Cloud

54cm Yeah, I've got a huge Voyageur and a Supercourse frame that's too big as well I'm going to have to sell. I get caught up in the thrill of the chase and buy these bikes because they're so cheap, but there's not much of a market for them on the local CL. I hate fleabay, but what are you gonna do?

noglider 

Fast Cloud, there's a 53cm PX10 on ebay.

auchencrow

A mint 60 cm Raleigh International for $25.

Fast Cloud

Oh great, now you've done it!! (starts scratching for change under the couch cushions) Not a hope, though. My lawn care biz is dead in the winter. Like a good squirrel, I save enough for Christmas and winter bills/mortgage etc. while the money's rollin' in but when it ends around late Nov., I have to go into survival mode. March 1 I'll be back at it hard and heavy though. I have 3 months off a year, but it's really like working a four day work week. I work from 7:30 am 'till dark for 9 months then I hibernate to recover! I'll be watching that auction though...I'm curious what it'll go for.

All in 54cm:

Reynolds 531SL/Pro Peugeot with all BSA threading.
Super Vitus Peugeot with all BSA threading
50th Anniversary Paramount with the gold fork
High end carbon fiber Miyata
Aluminum Vitus
Bianchi Osprey mtb. (or something similar) from the early/mid 90's
Gary Fisher Gratefull Dead Edition Hoo Koo E Koo
Schwinn Sting BMX

XLR99

I have a couple projects already in various states of progress, but I'd like to get a Raleigh 20 folder for travelling.

noglider 

Did either of these ever exist?

miamijim

Yes. '85 is an iffy year, maybe, maybe not. From '86 on everything is BSA.

scozim 

Too bad - there's a 58cm Super Vitus Triathlon on Ebay right now - should be '86 or '87 model. Too big for me.

javal

Anything decent with the name Puch or Monark by Reynolds...

atoms

FC, how huge is huge? I'm (to also answer the question of this thread) looking for a tall frame touring bike - preferably of 80's vintage or thereabouts. Nothing too fancy as I'm kind of hard on bikes and I'll be riding it in theft prone Chicago.

corkscrew

I have to thin out my stable before I buy any more.

Not that N+1 wont apply if the price is right.
