Jeanne’s new bike was delivered this morning
… Uh, well, it could have been a bike.

Maybe I should talk to her about a new bike for me, or a major mod, something like a PowerTap; heck, two PowerTaps. Oh, she has already said I could buy whatever I want. In any event, she is happy with her selection, to not be a materi…alistic kind of person. I didn’t believe the salesman when he said people would just stand and watch them as if they were the TV. Now to mess up some clothes. I think Jeanne is stripping the bed now.
The above is as it appeared on my Facebook.

Actually, what I want costs a lot more than a washer/dryer bike, i.e. I want a titanium Stratus XP; maybe. A titanium something. This requires a lot of thought; maybe more research. After all, I haven’t ridden a low-racer yet, such as the Optima Baron.

I called RideSouth yesterday to talk to Jim about the Optima Baron he has on the floor. He has a good price on it but doesn’t think I’d like it. Maybe I should buy a previously ridden one just in case I only kinda like it.

Of course I just read a discussion thread about an F-40, i.e. a faired, body-socked P-38. Supposedly you can hit 30 on the flats with very little effort. I’ve done that but not with very little effort. (Speaking of the P-38, here’s Dudley with his new one.)
Dudley sold me his old one, missed it so much he bought a new one.
Maybe carbon, not titanium. You can tell that I’m still on the quest for the “Big Boss Bike”. Too many bikes, too little time. No, that’s not right, not “Too many bikes”. After all, I still have wall space.
