The Pog, Pinarello, and Cinelli have all been sold in the past year (the Pog went to Germany, the Pinarello is in Nashville, and the Cinelli is with a new, local owner). For the first time in 18 years of cycling, I'm without a classic, Italian steel steed.

The two MX Leaders are still here (although the Motorola Team bike is for sale) as is the Peugeot Mixte.

The following have been added since the last post:

-Colnago C50
-Moots Vamoots
-Merckx Corsa Extra (7-11 paint)
-Redline MonoCog 29r.

All are built. We're moving at the end of this week to a place with more square footage but less bike space. So...two of the road bikes need to go. Hence the sale of the Motorola bike. In addition, one more needs to go...but which one???

Texbike
Wow! It's been over 10 years since my last post on this thread. A bunch of changes...

First off - the MonoCog, Vamoots, and 7-Eleven Corsa Extra are still here (I've actually ridden two of the three in the past 48 hours). Outside of those, the rest have all moved on to new, loving owners since the last post.

Here's what's taken their place:

Built:

-C50 (have had two of these since the last post)
-C40
-Pegoretti Team
-Parlee Z5
-Cannondale CAAD7
-'89 Colnago Conic
-early 70s Cinelli SC
-'72 PX10
-'75 Masi GC
-'60 Paramount pista

Frames/partial builds:

-Time VXS (why haven't I built this thing???)
-Seven Axiom SL
-Merlin Extralight
-Mapei Colnago Master
-'93 Bridgestone RB1
-early 70s Cinelli SC

This list is likely to change drastically in 2020 as I'll probably send several of these to new homes. Both of the Cinellis, the Masi, the Colnago Conic, the Seven, and the Paramount are a bit too large for me, so they will more than likely be looking for new owners that are taller than I am. The CAAD7 was purchased two years ago for the parts kit on it (7800). However, it rides and fits so wonderfully that it's stuck around much longer than originally intended. However, 2020 may be the year that it leaves the garage.

Happy holidays to all!

It's a new year, and I'm spending too much time inside looking at my bikes while on conference calls, rather than riding them (COVID 19 & weather related)...here's what's in the stable today:

1) Moots Compact
2) LOOK 565
3) Serotta Fierte
4) Javelin Asti
5) Kona Big Unit
6) Niner EMD
7) Specialized Crux

Who else is stuck at home looking at bikes/parts wanting to be riding?

Firefly ti/carbon - probably their 4th or 5th one in production. I personally like the ti to carbon seat tube arrangement that they don't do any longer

Lynskey touring - overall beater/store bike

Geekhouse Mudville gotten here about 3-4 years ago, stealing parts off it. Needs to be a sold at some point, too lazy to take apart and box

Then my wife has 2
- Specialized Ruby
- Bruce Gordon Chinook (made her buy - 3 mos. after I met her, that secured me for the long term)

At the moment:

Built:
Felt F1PR (carbon), 6800
Lemond Victoire (Ti), 7700
Bianchi Campione d'Italia (lugged steel), mixed build
Ritchey Ultra (tigged steel vintage 26" fully rigid), mixed
Schwinn PDG (lugged OS steel), 6400 +/-, lives at my parents' house

In long-delayed process:
Kona Hei Hei (Ti semi-vintage 26" fully rigid), shifting to a drop-bar monstercross-style bike with 5800/8000/Paul's

Frames:
Kona Honky Tonk (tigged steel), to be built up as a road-trip travel bike since most of my travel is road trips around the West and I want something "nice enough but not too nice".
Trek 660 (lugged steel), hanging in the rafters at my parents'. Idly thinking of converting it to 650B, which could be interesting...

Departed:
Trek 440, a little too big for me, built up as a townie bike for a friend
Cannondale CAAD10, sold via FaceBook

Looking for:
59cm Lemond Poprad or 59cm Lemond road frame from the Trek era; either would replace the Honky Tonk.

It will come with a roll of toilet paper and a small bottle of hand sanitizer...
