Anyone picking up a new rig in '06?
I'm so pooo right now. The wife and kiddies bled me dry...
If Uncle Sam plays nice this year I'd really like to buy my first custom frame (CircleACycles)...
Anyone else out there want to upgrade?

can't afford custom, but there was a correctly sized waterford frame on Ebay for 500 that I really regret not buying. My current project is a cheapo Maxway frame, but it's gonna be a cool ride nonetheless.

God I hope not.
I finally have my two main rides done.
But, that said, yes...I probably will get a new one.

not gettng a new bike I guess, but have just received my new hubs, rims coming in this week with spokes, new BB and headset on the way and a new Crank/chain/cog later in January, so I guess all is changing but the bars and frame. (built my brother a singlespeed for christmas from an old Raleigh Record with most of my old parts, so back to the touring bicycle until it all comes in)

Just submitted my depsoit on a Mercian Super Vigorelli a few days ago. It should be here in 3 months, so hopefully I have all of the parts to build it up by then!

I will more than likely be building a new rig.
I just paid rent so I am going to wait a few paychecks and see how the situation is.

my new Rock Lobster track frame is being welded as I write this. Should be ready for paint by the end of the week or so. Not positive on the groupo yet, but was thinking phil wood or dura ace high flange hubs, velocity rims, dura ace or sugino cranks, nitto track drops. Nothing like starting the new year with a new steed...

Building my track specific Marin frame up, but it's taking waaaay longer than expected, since I've become very picky as to what parts/manufaturers I like since joining BF, and learning/trying really good parts.
I'll probably go all out and Dura ace-ify it, blowing all chances of affording another off the pegger to hell, and limiting my caloric intake to PB&J. Thanks Bikeforums!

Nope, in fact I will probably have to divest myself of one or two (roadies, though). I got a job that will take up valuable riding time. I know, I know, you're saying, "You're young and you got your health, what do you want with a job?"
Well, my plan to marry a rich old gal or win the lottery hasn't worked out in three years, and with social security still over 20 years away, I reluctantly decided to come out of retirement.

I'm like, 95% there already. I want to see a few in person at the NAHBS (only 2 months now! so excited!) before I pull the trigger.

I'm pondering an Angus, Rush, or Bareknuckle as a replacement for my Bridgestone conversion, probably in the spring.

My buddy gave me his fixed Univega for Christmas, so I just finished reworking and repainting it. It's marvelous, and it's my new baby. So long Varsity!
