Covet

[rcannon100]

During college I rode a banana seat bike that I had tricked out. Streamers. Day glo paint. Colored straws on the spokes. Total Scraper. It was known on campus as the “wonder bike.”

Eventually some crazy girl decided it was hers and stole it. Hum. It was a small college. Everyone knew the bike and where she had hidden it. She gave a story to the police. Fortunately, I happened to still have the receipt.

It was however a kids bike and in time the frame just cracked in two.

Goodness. A velvet bike bag and handling gloves. I guess it’s an evening bike?

What the hell do you do with a $6k bike that you can’t touch?

Speak lovingly of it to anyone who will listen when you’re out riding your lesser bike with the common folk.

I think copper is like 1/2 the stiffness of steel, so judging by the thickness of those tubes, you probably shouldn’t ride it in the evening if you’ve had dinner already….

Oh, so it’s a cocktail bike!

But if you do happen to damage it, replacement tubes are available at the nearest abandoned home!

It’s all just copper plated… in fact the kickstand is just a standard Pletscher aluminum.

I already linked to the DSC fork a few posts back, but seeing it mounted on a Kagero frame deserves another covet methinks.

If its possible to be sexually arosed by a bike, that’s it.
