Hey Bud new bike?
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.

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

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?

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:

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....

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.

Hey ya Greg - haven't talked to, or seen you in a while.  Hope you're doing well...
 
If you're serious, contact him about a shell.
