Your 4 bike garage

Triathlon Forum

ok, here’s one, money no object - you can have ANY 4 bikes in your garage. BUT rules are you need to include one TT and one MTB

I go first!

  1. Paris Carbon
  2. New Specalized TT
  3. Enduro SL
  4. Carrier Pidgeon!.. A Parleee Z1.

  1. Litespeed Tuscany
  2. P3C
  3. Specialized Epic Carbon (mtb)
  4. Some sort of unqiue commuter or a cross bike
    .

Okay, so I have to somehow decide which of my 6 I’d get rid of… And I can’t get rid of the MTB? I haven’t ridden it in YEARS!

So…

  1. BP Stealth in custom geometry. The production version is too slack for me.
  2. Titanium Softride roadie (okay, I have that one)
  3. Something akin to the old ProFlex, but with an updated rear suspension. I loved the parallelogram fork – plush.
  4. Softride track/single speed (I have that one too)

So 1, 2, and 4 would be all custom jobs. And 3 is just something I’d have to find. Or maybe that one would be custom too.

  1. Kestrel Airfoil Pro. TT
  2. Litespeed Ocoee. MB
  3. Wind Cheetah. I’m a dork!
  4. Cervelo SSC. Group rides.

Here’s what I have (and I’m pretty happy).

1: Road bike: Colnago CT1 (Rabobank) with new 2007 Campy Record gruppo.
2: Road bike: Colnago Super (circa '75) with matching NOS Campy Record – Molteni Orange
3: TT bike: Cervelo P2C with Zipp 343 tubulars.
4: Mt. bike: OLD specialized stumpjumper.

Changes… the super will be sold and I want to get either Soloist or R3 next year.

Can you post a pic of your Colnago Super? I’ve got an early 70’s Super frame and I’m not sure which year.

7

but if you have all the money in the world would you still have the 4 you have now?!

Cervelo P3C
Cervelo Soloist SLC (whatever the uber light one is)
No idea on which mountain bike
Softride TT bike
.

  1. Tri - Lotus superbike a non-track version
  2. Road - R3sl
  3. Tri - Walser in tri geometry
  4. Specialized blah blah mtb.
10

TT: BMC Time Machiine
RR: Seven Cycles Elium Race
MTB: Ibis Bow-Ti
SS: Ibis Single Malt
.

Santa Cruz Blur XC
Cervelo P2SL
Co-Motion S&S tandem with steel fork and full braze-ons
Hampsten Gran Paradiso road bike (which is really a Co-Motion as well)

I’d use all the money I saved from not picking an Ellsworth Truth, a Cervelo P3C, a Calfee carbon tandem and a Vanilla road bike to add on a cross bike, a fixed gear/ss road bike, a real track bike, a Thorn Raven for getting groceries, and a cool skateboard.

12

Road: Moots ti with Campy Record, no logos, brushed finish.
Cyclocross: IF with campy centaur. (I’d ride this most often) White frame, bar tape, saddle. The rest would be black.
TT: Calfee Custom. Best frame out there. Nude finish, vision bars, 76 degree post, Lew wheels.
MTB: Santa Crux Blur, Fox fork, full XTR.

And a workshop to keep the santa cruz up and running.

13
  1. Soloist SLC-SL
  2. R3 Cross
  3. Rocky Mountain Element Team
  4. P2C (I know I’m not flexible enough for the P3C!)

You didn’t specify how many wheels I get, though… Start me off with a set of 404s, 808s, a disk, 404 tubulars for the cross bike, and a nice assortment of “training” wheels…

14
  1. QR Lucero
  2. P3C
  3. Older schwinn homegrown with fox float fork
  4. 1996 gary fisher hoo koo e koo
15

Money is no object so you can have as many wheels as you like! Just as long as you have the 4 bikes!

16

Road: Calfee Dragonfly Custom.
TT: BMC TT01
MTB: Santa Cruz Blur
Track: BT Custom

17

R3
P3
OCC Chopper
Ducati

my 4 bikes
.

So I’ll take the aforementioned 4 frames…

And two build kits for each (Dura Ace and Record) with an extra set of brakes and fork for the r3 (just in case I want to use it as a climbing bike) and a good mix for the mtb…
and Z2s, Z4s, Z8s, 404 cross, a Lightweight disk, 606 clinchers, 999 clinchers, a selection of mtb wheels, some fulcrum racing zeros, and some custom wheels to top it off. Just because I can.

Like your style on the Ducati.
