    Somewhat vintage Colnago C40 with the custom Geo paint with 2012 Campy Super Record Ti components and Reynolds 3dvt carbon tubular wheels.

    One of my first bike shop jobs when I was a kid was in a shop where the owner did all his own importing and bike builds. It was this crazy/awesome boutique shop in Denver that has been gone for 25+ years. His words still ring in my ears… “The only bike for you is a Colnago… buy the nicest you can find, put on the nicest campy components and ride it forever.”

    I’ll get right on that. You meant $14,99 plus 9.99, right?

    What I really want is a walk-out basement with room to keep another bike or ten. THEN I’ll start thinking about what bike I want next.

    As said above – a house with a bike room (known to normals as a walk-out basement).

    Then this – http://www.cervelo.com/en_us/bikes/2012/R5ca/

    I came very close to buying an R3 last year even though I had already bought a frame and fork to build my current bike. Cervelo giving $1k off MSRP was a powerful incentive. Don’t know how much longer Cervelo will be making a premium product now that they’re a hair’s width from being owned by Conglom-o or whoever (bonus points if you catch that reference).

    I’m a simple man with simple tastes. And a walkout basement.

    Honestly, I already have the bike I was coveting for a while. My Ibis Mojo HD:

    But good for Friday. (And thanks, I take this as a compliment).

    That’s why we have a 2 car garage, although we only own 1 car. And why we made storage space our of the space under the landing of the staircase — perfect height for bikes, fits about 4.

    Thanks for the links on a wishing-I-were-outside-all-day type of Friday.

    Well, there goes the rest of my afternoon.

    A few years back there was an outfit in Texas building custom frames – Moyer Cylces: One of the frames had this beautiful criss-cross design for the seat stays:

    Looks like this close up:

    Holy smokes! That looks like a very tall frame. Tim Kelley might even fit that.
