fighting addiction...

ebay addiction.
actually ebay is my dealer.
for my bike addiction, that I am always fighting.

first up for consideration is a chrome lugged Toma:
maybe Campy Veloce or Chorus,
lots of chrome & polished.
We'll have to see where it ends.....
a big maybe.


Titus.
Custom CX.
Doable!
IF fork in other auction.
Single up front,
something different and simple for the set up.


Now this!
I'm a fan of the new Masi style.
If this were only the CX, for canti's.
Would still make an awesome commuter.
Would eliminate buying one just to strip down.
Love the rootbeer brown.
put on my extra set of wheels,
1x10 with campy & bar end shifters.
of course a Brooks, or the San Marco with rivets.
THIS may be the next build....
UNLESS MASI GUY HAS A FRAME FOR ME!


I actually use to own this bike,
got it from the rep.
KHS Fleetwood,
that must have been '97?
It saw zero miles, just sat in my room.
I switched between the two hardtails for every ride.
Fianlly sold it when I moved East,
three bikes is easier than six, I guess.
NOW I wish I'ld kept it.
Aluminum frame, Nexus 8 hub, canti's.
If you ever find one in Large..
LET ME KNOW!
Ultimate gallery, bar, corner store bike...

well, besides the Indy Fab one that I'll NEVER,
EVER be able to afford.
$5000?

back to ebay!

1. We admitted we were powerless over bicycles - that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a groupset greater than ours could restore us to sanity.

...That's as far as I got.
