i wanted to beat the snot out of said bike on crappy and smooth hardpack roads to really see it shine, and shine i'm sure it would.

sorry no pics, you'll have to take my word for it.

so there's that.
Pics or it didn’t happen!

Thats very doable. Just sign up for a SF Rando. They seem to be riding a lot of those judging from their vlogs.

My interest in bikes lies mostly in the vintage realm so some I lust after...

Galmozzi
Hetchins w/vibrant stays
Lino Messori
Bates w/diadrant fork
Singer/Herse

In the modern world about the only thing I want is a frame from Ulrich Vogel. That will probably happen soon.

Well, there is of course that. And enough money to stay over there.

OK, how about a perfect condition, low mileage 2012 BMW 328 all-wheel drive wagon, manual?

Or for sure, a Zanc Max frame.

And a Ciavete Peg absolutely. Duende maybe? Or just a 59 Duende with a Falz fork would be so cool.

And I would love/lust to be on a tour in Switzerland and the Dolomites and have fantastic fitness right about now. Instead there's this:

That was my question as well.

Me? New legs, new lungs, and a brain that doesn't hurt. Everything else is 'stuff.'

After my colon cancer scare earlier this year (and subsequent partial colon removal) I have realized that life is too short to work my life away. Now I try to maximize time with my family and make my lusts a reality. 3 of the things I have REALLY wanted that I have gotten in 2018:

Pegoretti Duende - the only frameset that I have ever purchased new


Rabobank team issue Colnago Extreme-C. My sub-13# ww bike.


Profitec Pro500. I never believed how much a better machine would make my lattes taste until I got this


I try to keep my lusts to "attainable".

Still on the list is a Porsche Cayman, but I need to wait until the kids get bigger so the wife will allow it.

So in the meantime I am picking up a sweet used Mercedes ML350 in 2 days so I can tote the kids around in comfort and style.
