Title: Hey Bud new bike? Post by Kwijybow on Dec 4th, 2007, 10:08am Hey Bud I heard a rumour you were thinking about a new bike. What did you have in mind? As you guys might have surmised I'm always thinking about a new bike. Take Care, Nelson. |

Aren't we all? There is a vicious rumor going around that I have been lowracer shopping. The newest bicycle in my garage is still my 2006 Corsa. |

Title: Re: Hey Bud new bike? Post by Kwijybow on Dec 4th, 2007, 6:45pm I think I'd really like a Quest one day, but quite the pricy item. A streamlined lowracer would be too cool as well. You looked at anything in particular? Take Care, Nelson. |

Yeah, the velomobiles are way cool, I think. Kwijybow wrote:
Yes, but I've rolled my eyes so much at those who post, "I ORDERED IT TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!", then add something every day for 4 weeks until their bike shows up. I won't do that. When a new bike reaches my garage, I'll post a photo. |

Title: Re: Hey Bud new bike? Post by bikerteam on Dec 5th, 2007, 6:21am Me too, me too, me too :P I have a friend in IL that's an optomitrist (Dr. Dave B.). He builds low racers and streamliners in his spare time. Dave is the person who introduced me to recumbents. Anyway, I'm about to engage him about building one for me. Plus, he'd like some publicity in this part of the country. Check out one of his web sites: http://www.doctorvision.com/varna2/index.html be sure to click on the link at the bottom the URL I provided and see awesome pictutres from the "battle mountain" HPV races. That will get everyone salivating for a new bike.... |

I hoped that seeing the pictures in the link I provided would elicit more a response.... :'( Come on... it's Christmas.... we're all friends.... :-* Requiring minds what to know.... what's the frame material ::) Carbon, Ti, Aluminum, Steel, Bamboo, Fiberglass, Rice Paper, recycled cell phones... ;) |
Title: Re: Hey Bud new bike? Post by Bud_Bent on Dec 5th, 2007, 2:08pm LOL, an inquisitive bunch, ain't you? No money has changed hands, no deal is done, but if things go through, it will be Taiwanese carbon fiber. |

Title: Re: Hey Bud new bike? Post by MrOverdressed on Dec 7th, 2007, 7:57am I just sent an email to M5 asking for a price quote for their Carbon High-Racer main-frame. The Euro/Dollar exchange rate is expected to drop in favor of te dollar this winter. So its going to be late January before I make my move. Afterward I will be ready to sell my Baron frame-set to a fellow speed monger. http://www.m5-ligfietsen.nl/uploads/Itemizer/popups/1536.1.jpg |
