i own 5 bikes. i need 1.
i love building bikes up as much as actually riding them.
i build up bikes using photoshop and product images off google.
i just spent allot of money on a aero/carbon wheelset that i definitely dont need for a pista concept frame....a pista concept frame i definitely didn't need in the first place. (i felt justified tho because it was for less than half msrp and i had just sold a couple hundred dollars of stuff on ebay and had a nice little sum burning a hole in my paypal account)
i totally justify bike part purchases all the time to myself while trying to mentally pummel the side of me that's saying "wtf are you doing??"
i think i might have a problem.

I helped a girl tune up her bike at the Local Co-op and teased her for putting a kick stand on it.
I would put a kick stand on my Fixie in a second if I could find a cool one :(
She was excited about her Bike, and wanted a rack and panniers. I thought this was all sexy yet failed to get her number.
I'm too lazy to work on the fit of my bikes until it prevents me from riding fast enough to ride with friends.
I spend money on parts I don't need. I'm convinced one day they'll have a purpose.
I'd rather ride bikes and drink beer in parks with people I just met then hang out with my old friends.
If I ride more then 15 miles I don't feel bad about eating junk food.
4 inches of drop on the leader makes me feel like I'm a badass. Especially after 20 miles.
If I see a good deal on bike parts, chance are I'll buy it, even if I can' afford it and don't need it.

CC, I'll have to sketch something up for the "MS paint your mishaps" thread.

Word.

a regular midnightrida :thumb:

I love riding cheap bikes. My ss is a hi ten Schwinn Cutter that my wife bought for $300 a couple Christmases ago. My other bikes cost $100, $50, -0- and $30. I love getting more enjoyment per dollar spent than that clown in lycra riding a Madone.

the first time i rode FG it scared the **** out of me.

my confessions:
I don't know what NJS is/means, nor do I care

I like threaded headsets

I hate loose ball bearings

I started riding fixed gear so that my brother wouldn't borrow my bike

sigged for brilliance

I took off my front brake to look more legit.

I ride my 29er with the seatpost above the minimum insert line.

I really want to buy a Mongoose Cachet or Genesis from Walmart as an around-campus commuter.

When I see a girl riding by, I automatically check out her bike before checking her out.

New Jersey Shore, DUH..... (me neither)

My first my first fixed gear experience was bombing down a hill on my friend's brakeless bike.

untapped handlebars are a huge pet peeve.
i built up a mixte singlespeed bike for my girlfriend. a huge reason being so i could spend time building up and wrenching on another bike.
slowly have been pushing my bike obsession on my girlfriend. and slowly it has been working.
i will eventually be moving in with my girlfriend, and already have plans to build a large bike shed/man-cave on the side of her house.
i had a dream about searching ebay for bike parts last night.
i buy bike parts on ebay that i dont need simply because its an excellent deal.
i am going to france, belgium, and amsterdam with girlfriend in may. Besides eating and drinking, im excited for the 25 mile amsterdam bike tour the most. I made a strong case for staying at our hotel in Paris because they have free bike rentals for guests. I also googled bike stores in various cities we are staying so i can see what kind of stuff they have.

i think i have a problem.
i am actually forbidding myself form spending any more money on anything bike related.
I am going to try to force myself to sell one of my 5 bikes, but having a seriously hard time parting with any of them.
sometimes my favorite part of work is the bike ride there and home.

i know i have a problem.

I use bikeforums.net to avoid doing all the things I really should be doing, I guess I'll review for my genetics midterm now...

No you won't. I know this because I know how you feel...

I want an Aerospoke and/or HED3.

I want a full NJS bike.

I'm afraid to ride brakeless.

My confession: I rock front and rear brakes on the fixed....and I like it

I have fondle my bikes most intimately
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...-in-court.html

I tried, this is the third or fourth time I've gone over replication, transcription, and translation... I've always wanted to take an exam without preparing for it!

Then what's stopping you? :D

a large man on a small bike.

Sometimes I make kludgy repairs and leave them for weeks or months. I had the rear brake cable on my mountain bike attached to a guide with a grocery store twist-tie for a season and a half.

We have two of these at Bikerowave. Needless to say, I can't ride them. :(

Also, Kilo's do nothing for me. They're just mehhhh

moar confesshun

I don't find pursuit bikes with slopping top tubes appealing at all.

Lugs are nice, but I wouldn't pay an extra amount of money for them.

I want a Tiemeyer.

I think compact geometry is generally okay.

I think steel is only real to a certain extent.

I don't find Brooks saddle aesthetically appealing. It works on some bikes but not all.

I go "pssh, what a Fred" when I see an expensive road bike with platform pedals.

okay that's not confessing that's just bragging. i agree with all those.

confession- i want a coaster brake on my track bike.

There are at least 3 guys at my university that I regularly see riding bikes with LOOK style pedals wearing sneakers (or once, TOMS). One is a Specialized, the other a LeMond, not sure about the third. I really wonder.


I think, secretly, we all do.

Confessions - I sometimes (actually pretty often) hang a Star Wars Darth Vader lego figure from my saddle rails.
I also have a tracko and cadence sticker on my bike.

My bike is definitely me!

I love to skid

I love when random people give my bikes compliments

I ride brakeless

I like to showoff my bike as much as possible

I like risers

I sometimes like aerospokes

I judge people who ride SS and not fixed

I ride my bike to the bar
