Kwijybow Five Star Member mostly a commuter Posts: 1026	Hey Bud new bike? Dec 4^th, 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.

Take Care,

There is a vicious rumor going around that I have been lowracer shopping. The newest bicycle in my garage is still my 2006 Corsa.

You know the old saying about rumors...they are just early truths.

Yeah, the velomobiles are way cool, I think.

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.

Me too, me too, me too Tongue

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....
