I'm in LOVE

[Missy24]

Hey Missy, here's some Bont's to go with the bike

http://bicycling.com/blogs/fitchick/2009/11/16/in-the-pink/

New shoes, go on, put them on the card

Thanks for that Mike... need to have some white on them shoes though! And maybe some glitter

[Gosh - who'd want to replace their Spanish beauty (the Orbea) with something else? Though I would still trade in my baby for say, a Pinarello.. or a Time... or a Look..... hmmmmm but nothing less.... something along the lines of this perhaps?

The new baby is a Pinarello

Ah. I see.

I am intensely jealous

She's a DINK

Sorry, but I reckon that fork only on one side is ugly... It has fallen off the ugly tree & hit every branch on the way down...
But of course that is my opinion & each to their own...

That's only because you haven't ridden one. EVERYone who rides my bike for the first time goes "ohhhhhh niiiiice...." about the fork. When they go back their own they have one of those Eureka! moments. Especially when they get on the brakes and notice how much of a wet noodle their fork is.

They're as stiff as a dual-crown downhill fork, and as light as a Rockshox SID. Part 1 of the video below is about the Scalpel, Part 2 focusses on the Lefty:


I do get lots of "Maaaate! What's happened to your FORK!?" which now gets a " Dude, you're right! Did you see where it went?"

[fleecedog]

She's a DINK

Added to my list of goals. Become a DINK so I can own a fleet of 10 grand bikes.

Take a LOOK, who wants kids when you can have a good TIME?

Take a LOOK, who wants kids when you can have a good TIME?

That was really funny. Mr Moo currently rides a Look bike. My next bike will be a Time.

And yes...we are dinks in the true sense as I believe you can't really claim dogs as children!!

5k, pretty good deal with carbon wheels. If it's the best deal around who cares about the colour?

Thanks - that was really good

i think i may copy some of the rgb values and use it to customise my ubuntu theme.

[Missy24]

But I also LOVE this

Deposit went down on this one today, considering some new wheels for the roadie as well and some new cranks, not getting enough power out of my cranks and Rob tells me I need a bigger ring... okie dokely... and a new set up to a more agressive position.... he says I should be riding at consistantly 40km/h... he seems to think I can do it... strange man, its taken a while for me to get used to Rob, but I think he's alright!

He also says I should get new wheels... 606's?

[fleecedog]

YUM!!! Me likey.

Although I'm too short and my frames are too small to pull off the deep dish look. They make my bike look even more dwarf than it already is. I borrowed a pair of 404s and it just looked out of proportion.

How many more sleeps to go?

[Missy24]

Toooooooooo many I think it's still being made

[flammer]

vive la France

[brentono]

The Factor 001, dubbed the "world's most advanced bicycle" is now being made available to the general public.
Priced at US$36,000 and upwards, you can order one of these from London department store Harrods.

Unable to sell, maybe the design department should have made it PINK.

[Missy24]

You'd think they'd make a bike like that with a bit of WANK in it...

Just FYI... this thread is about bike LOVE... flammer and brentono, do you LOVE these bikes?

Don't turn it into a hate thread, lets keep it as p0rn

[flammer]

Missy, I revealed my new love in a dimly lit room. Her curves highlighted by shadow, her tones caressed by the light. And you ask do I love her truly? Such slings and arrows test my resolve to love at all.

Hey I like the Look its pppppretttttttttttttttty

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
I see many bikes I don't like... here.
As for "love", I would have a Factor 001 if they gave it to me, it may be a nice ride.
You'd probably take one too, if they "Pinked" it!
The point is now matter how it's presented, it's just not selling, work that out.
"Don't be a hater"
Cheers,

Colour explained

How can anyone say that the teal, as represented here, is blue? It's green! If it's bluey-green, it's still a variation on green.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A woman with an ugly husband said that.
