Inquiring minds (everywhere) want to know.

If you are buying a bike in the next 180 days, what are you going to buy?

i AM going to buy a bike, ahem, my FIRST tri bike, in the next 180 days. and in my case it's most likely going to be a cervelo p1. nothing super fancy and costing more than my car. but it will be mine and i will love it.

P1's are very impressive. I wager you will love it.

Speed Concept. 9 or 7...???...???...??? By the time I replace the front brake, jury rig a Problem Solvers cable stop, and upgrade the bars, I've spent enough to go ahead and by the 9, especially if I buy a competitive set of bars instead of the Visions.

Well, I bought one (frameset) yesterday, does that count? I wanted something that was a little different so I ended up with a BMC Team Machine (roadbike) that I'm going to build up as a winter project.

Right now I want to spend the next 6 months on a road bike...if I had the cash I'd dismatle my P2-SL and hang my current groupset a Cervelo Superprodigy.

So I'd buy a (used) Superprodigy frameset, size 54...the black one of course (yep, bad paint & all).

I'd build up a track bike with a front brake. Not to be hipster-riffic and blend in with the fixie crowd, but because I think riding a fixed gear is a great training tool. The Cervelo T1 would fit me like a glove...

Felt F1 and a MARTINI SHIV!

I'm building up a Giant MCR at the moment.

New bike? I can't afford what I want, but am interested to see what Cervelo do next. I think they're the next brand due an overhaul.

What I'd really like is a firm to do a Di2 top of the range bike minus the wheels. I've got some decent ones already.

After my F.I.S.T. fitting I just ordered a brand new Felt B2 Pro frame and will build it out with Dura Ace components.

Jiowa, I loved those bikes too and owned... three different Softrides I think. Had some good races on them. You and I would need a time machine to get one of those though....

Just last week, I bought a Felt AR2. With all the snow and ice, I have only ridden it once.

Wow Tom, it's not like you to ask such a vague question. What do you have in mind?

S-works Era frameset, then build it up with Sram XX and Stan's wheels.

In reality? Era Carbon - Should be ordering it sometime in March (every hour at work, thinking "bike money...")


Vale!

Just finished dialing in my fit on my new SL3 Roubaix yesterday.

Unfortunately it will be on the trainer for the foreseeable future with about 47 feet of snow on the ground here in Boston.
