Count me in for a compact quarq once they release.

Got: Size 58 Serotta HSG Frame ($1500 eBay)

Want: One bike that fits me.

I'VE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE.

picked up a new-to-me bmc slt (105) on friday, although technically i paid for it before christmas.
new in 09: northwave aerlites.

No.

You're not doing your job BF.

On Friday, the government reported Americans' savings rate, as a percentage of after-tax incomes, rose to 2.9 percent in the last three months of 2008. That's up sharply from 1.2 percent in the third quarter and less than 1 percent a year ago.

I just ordered a Carradice bag from the UK tonight (I know roadies don't know what those are; those are seat bags for older people like me). Ordering direct from their site in the UK right now is much cheaper than ordering from a US dealer.

I also got a closeout DA 7800 derailleur a couple of weeks ago ($80 from fleabay; shifts like buttah).

And an $8 chain for my commuter.

Later this year I am thinking about stripping my vintage Tommasini (all original Campy) and rebuilding it with new components from the Pope's own component maker.

Hi,

We spent a bunch of money in '08 including a new roof, solar panels, and an R3. :D

Sold two frames, a wheelset, and some aerobars at a swap meet today. So I'm dropping off some hubs at the LBS tomorrow for some new training wheels ('06 Record hubs, various DT spokes, and Velocity Aerohead rims). Hopefully, they'll be <1500 grams.

My 3rd Toupe' saddle was last week. My new DT Swiss wheels are next week. After that, I have no idea what to buy for my bike. Maybe Capo will have their new stuff available by then... pick up a kit or two. Four full kits just isn't enough.

We're working towards adopting a child this year so no new bike for TJ this year. :(
But maybe, just maybe, I can squeeze in a inexpensive CX frame set by he end of the year.

I'm thinking 09 look 585 and some new pedals. New handle bars might be nice too.
(hinges mainly on ability to sell current frame/bars/other crap laying around)

I don't think you've seen my season outline then.:thumb:

Powertap, I'm keen to know exactly how much I suck.

Team kits. A new frame that fits and doesn't have two big dents in the top tube. Another pair of eggbeater pedals, mountain bike shoes, some cyclocross tubular tires.

So, how is it working for one of the Democrats' special interest groups? :D

Joking aside, I got Easton Tempest II wheels. SRAM Force. Sidi shoes. GP4000 tires. Probably something else that I've forgotten.

I'd like to pick up a 58 cm bike frame.

I'm running low on tubes, so I may grab a couple of them this year.

Recently picked up the Quarq.

Next planned acquistion will be carbon drive belt, and rings for the tandem.

so far this year:
Storck Absolutist w/Campy 11 mix chorus and record
Campy Bora/&/Hyperons
Mavic ergo ride full carbon shoes

Just finished building a bike for my wife...
Scattante XRL frame from Performance
Campagnolo Veloce gruppo
Campagnolo Khamsin wheels

Bought a CycleOps Magneto trainer last month and
Sidi Genius 5 Megas (white) on there way here too

What recession?

2008 I did my fair share by purchasing a custom titanium bike.
This year considering a garmin. Mabe some winter gloves for those rare days.

You may have a point. We should just start calling it the Depression it seems to be.

Since it looks like education is a low priority when it comes to Washington State lawmakers making the budget, I will most likely be out of a job next year. But...

.. my custom Curtlo should be done any day now. Ginormous toptube, 4 water bottle mounts, and a higher bottom bracket to allow for 200mm cranks. Booyah. Next year I'll be riding it to substitue teaching jobs.

Bought:
*2009 Orbea Orca
*2009 Sram Rival Group
*Black Fizik Arione
*Blackburn Mars 4.0 rear blinkie
*Thomson aluminum seatpost

Need to sell:
*A set of Ksyrium Equipe's I've never used and I guess never will.
*My old Fizik Arione in White and blue that doesn't match my new Orca
*Windsor the Hour FG bike - loved it when i started, and it's a solid bike for the price, but now use my Kona instead for day-to-day tasks, so it just sits in the garage

Sold:
*Misc fixie stuff on ebay

So far in 2009 I purchased:

Chainring Bolts
A set of Carbon Tubular Wheels from Flit (I haven't received them yet)

Planned in the next month:
New Helmet (Probably Atmos or Ionos)
New Shoes (Still looking for a good fit)

BIKE + ACCESSORIES = $$$$
Here's to buying on a students budget.
