Argh - I have got a crush!

[punkypossum]

I don't need it, I can't have it, I can't afford it, it would upset my other bikes, but I so WANT it! Don't even know why, but there is something about it - think it's a case of love at first sight!

It's simple, it's understated and it's gorgeous!!!!

It's beautiful... the understated aspect does it.

Do you have anyone you can hint to that you like it? Or a birthday coming up? (As if you need an excuse to buy it!) If you like it that much I reckon you should treat yourself or be treated...

I have a similar thing going for this.

... err, the discs, the white, the knobblies (and maybe the gears), but apart from that...

Was indeed very nice looking, Punky!

And for the very same irrational reason, I want this:

It's actually a great bike if you want a multi-terrain vehicle!

My current crush is one of these...

Slightly off topic, but people on this thread might know what I mean.

I saw a very wonderful pink bicycle last weekend. But instead of the frame being tubes of a uniform diameter, they were sort of wiggly ? sort of wider at the back near the wheel and narrow at the front. Quite a girly sort of pink really. The man riding it was definately not girly, I am sure you can imagine how I know that.

Yes, I know I should have asked the bloke riding it. But he abandonned a race last weekend, and sort of nearly collapsed on the ground after carefully leaning his bike on the wall. In my concern to see that he was alright, I forgot to ask him what bike he had.

I expect the bike in question might be supersonic powered, as they were averaging 30 mph on this race - approx 30 minutes to do a 15 mile circuit, and seven circuits. I also expect I would need a mortgage to buy this particular bike.

Now you're talking! That's my kind of steed!

It might be a great bike, but I don't want a multi-terrain vehicle and it just doesn't float my boat. Condors I like especially the Tempo fixie (very sensible with old-style dropouts) and the Fratello, but that's a bit bling for me!

Enigma steelies are currently my faves...

We are all as bad as one another, wanting things we can't have. I was in the lbs the other week and he had one of these in http://www.pearsoncycles.co.uk/images/prod_3875.jpg
As soon as I seen it I wanted it and wanted to convert it to road use. Why I don't know as I have 2 good bikes and no spare cash.
