P.S. our bikes all suck.

Can't get the page to work. Can somebody repost.

I can't read the original post, but a Richard Sachs is on the short list of the ultimate "rest of my life" bike options. Some day I'll retire from tri, mainly because I already hate running and my joints will become too athritic any ways, but I've always said that as long as I'm not to feeble to turn a crank, I'll always ride a bike. I can see myself riding into the sunset of my golden years on a classic Richards Sach's steel and feeling that I have finally reached the epitomy of cycling joy.

sorry c-guy. i am html impaired. pics are of r sach's insanely perfect new nagasawa, complete with richard's name on the top tube. maybe somebody can post them up. btw, you better get on that list, bro. lead times are years, ya know, for a sachs. better than a nagasawa, tho - for one of those you have to go to nippon and even then no guarantee - no input - no preferences. take what the man gives you when he gives you if he feels like giving for the price he tells you. beautiful.
