Next week sees the arrival of 2 new bikes for me, well one new frame and one 2nd hand. A brand new cotic soul in orange to replace the mk1 i already have and have not put down since building up a few months ago and for more playbike duties/dh/dj etc i'm building up a charge blender, both nice specs with pikes,xt,slx,pro2's,hope brakes etc. Can't wait for next weekend, and every other weekend for that matter, good times.
Oh also going to have to bite the bullet and get a cheap 2nd hand road bike in the next month or so as i'm doing JOGLE for charity in August and would rather it be a positive experience and since i haven't had a road bike for 18 years or so i think it might be wise to embrace the dark side, at least until the charity ride is done and then i can retire from lycra for another 18 years!

Nowt for moi. Happy as is.
Alasdair - Many thanks. Good choice.

Alasdair, I wanted one of those very badly! That was the bike that sold me on the idea of CX, although what I actually ended up with was a tad different...
We'll need to infiltrate a TBC wednesday ride with the cross bikes soon!

Would love an ST4 (in green) but Ms Soda needs a new drivetrain first, she'll always be my first love
I've got a little savings pot going so we'll see.

For the first time in approximately ever, I honestly don't want anything. And I've had A LOT of bikes in the last 10 years. Just sold my Pace 405 after it was ridden four times in 2010.
2011 ST4 is fab. I've a nice Cove Hummer for FoD duties, an old DMR Trailstar LT I'll never sell and two *ahem* road bikes. Some people still seem to think this is excessive!

Ton - hope you get back riding soon mate.
For me the current obsession is something along the lines of:
Orange Alpine 160 / Blood / transition covert / Five AM / canyon rockzoneIdeally something sturdy, slack and bouncy

13thflormonk - I perhaps should have ben clear that my HX2 is the old model, but it does still ride fantastically, stiff as fook, you can pop off anything and fits me lovely. I think that should still apply to the new model?
piccies of mine anyway. Currently looks like this (but muddier and with conti MKs)

Either a Ragley Ti piglet or a Nukeproof Mega and a Ti road frame but don't know which one yet.

Just bought a Zesty 214 2010 in the sales. Thinking about what to do with the cube ltd team hardtail - keep or sell.
Now thinking i may replace my old road bike frame with a planet x carbon as well.
Projects to keep me busy as i'm still not allowed back out on the trails in case i fall over over and mess up the consultants good work on my back.
Lots of walking and 15 minutes a day on the turbo at the moment, and no cake!!Posted 1 year ago # -
I have just built a scandal 26er but really want a longer travel hardtail, i will also be getting a cannondale caad8 roadbike.

My next project, maybe if funds available, will be a Cross/Tourer/City all in one with Alfine 11.

shelved all plans for any new bikes (bling fat bike) due to rising costs of living and my wages er...not rising
Sold a few bikes off and keeping 4. 2 getting service parts spares bought and thats it, maybe get the pugsley powder coated.
Just rebuilt the 12 year old super V 150mm frameset again as worthless to sell,will do fine for the odd trail centre day out.
instead buying a new 1 man tent,walking boots and clothing (summer and winter) more bikepacking gear and just getting out there...

Genesis equilibrium:
gosh it's pretty.
(can't get the frameset in black tho' - so i'll have to work on my financial strategy...)

Something 120mm ish, an ST4 would be lovely but god they're expensive! Probably a Lapierre or Orbea something or other.

my new toy.
only been on order since september

We're going to build up out Yeti ASR-7, a Pivot Mach 5.7, Transition TR250, rebuild up our Yeti ASR-5 and a Transition Covert - I think that means we can rid ourselves of our Lapierres once and for all with all that bling! Unfortunately most of these demo bikes will have to be my size.
Had the first ride of the year on the Morewood Zula and now get it. Magical.
I don't have any money but fun me, I love the blingy bikes.
