So, last January, I switched jobs and was fortunate to have a sizable bump in income. So I celebrated by putting down a deposit in March for two frames. I posted a thread when my Zank road frame came. It is fantastic. A week or so ago, I got my Goodrich cross frame. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170603/d0acafb0a5c019fbf1bae35f97b6e969.jpg

To Hilltopperny, I finally got to see the storage bin ... it is pretty good sized. I will take the Zank, the Goodrich, and the Vanilla. I know, not exactly hardship. The Goodrich is getting built up with Campy 10-speed stuff that had been on other bikes.
Weisan---yeah, that was actually the inspiration. This one is darker but brighter pink. Nevertheless, I met Curt for the first time at Douglas' house and we have been friends since. Seemed appropriate somehow. Plus, my daughter loves pink.

Dave, mi casa es su casa, as the saying goes. Should you find yourself in New York, you know you have a ride.

I still can't get over life's curve ball though. I thought I would be happily ensconced in D.C. Maybe even in the DC suburbs with gobs of space for bikes. Now, I am not even gonna build this thing up until the movers take everything to NY in a couple weeks.

I did not need another bike but my last bike was a Kelly Bedford ti cross bike.

I like all of my bikes but the cross bike is the funnest bike I have got.

Ride on dirt. gravel. water, no matter.

Cool bike flyedhest. Good luck.

Looks fantastic.

FWIW We were at Minnecycle today and a few of us were chatting about your pink frameset.

All positives!

Couple of other CG creations that were available for drooling lessons today.
