Thought this might make for an interesting thread...

What's the next bike you plan on buying? Keep it realistic though... something you actually see yourself buying, even if you can't afford it now.

For me, it's a HT XC bike. Leaning towards a Kona Kula Primo built up very XCish. Manitou Skareb (100mm), FSA Carbon cranks (this may be wishful thinking... RaceFace Evolve XCs might be more realistic), 717 rims, hopes or avid mechs, etc. I'd probably also buy a pair of skinny road tires so I could do some good road riding as well.

A Jamis Dakar XC Expert.... its actually on order. Its just a waiting game now.

 

[zod]

2001 Bitch (frame) -- never used
She's gonna be my urban bitch! In the process of being built........about 90% done. Just waiting on cranks and headset to arrive in the mail

 

[stinky|Dan]

I'll be doing some shopping when i land in California. I'm thinking....Yeti ASX.

 

[SkaredShtles]

I'm hoping not to have to buy another bike for 10 years...........

-S.S.-

 

[Echo]

Already on order :devil:

 

[douglas]

I cant afford it but


Mt Vision pro

I was just reading about that bike last night in MBA. Sounds like a nice ride.

 

[jacksonpt]

Already on order :devil:

NICE!!! I am/was very excited to hear Victor was going to carry them. I started looking at one of these... but I think a HT frame is a better purchase for me at the moment.

 

[MMcG]

That's nice douglas - but tell me more as to why that one?

 

[MMcG]

My next bike/frame most likely will be used and now I'm thinking it'll lean more to the XC side of things.

 

[douglas]

Already on order :devil:

]

dude! .........so how many bikes will that make?

 

[I Are Baboon]

Already on order :devil:

Sweet, man! When is that bad boy coming in?

No idea what my next bike will be. I am very happy with the two that I have, so I am not really giving much thought to what I'll buy next. Probably a lighter XC bike, and I'll beef up the Quasi Moto.

 

[jacksonpt]

That's cool - you've got the titus and what else?

My goal is to keep the 575, get an XC hard tail and a road bike, then be done with the major purchases. Of course, I say that now... :devil:

Actually I have three bikes if you count the road bike (a 2003 Trek 2000). My other MTB is a 2001 Rocky Mountain Spice. Nothing fancy, but it's only 26 pounds so I'll use it for my limited racing.

Just remeber the proper number of Bike to have is N+1 where N is the number of bike you have.

That said , My next bike, Which I have just started to build is a Biachi cyclo-cross bike.

And mathematics are never wrong.

 

[JRB]

I might get a Soma Smoothie frame with my vacation money since the tensioner is working on the dean. That, or a zion EBB 853. They look cheap for a decent beater. No tensioner, but still has a hanger.

 

[Smelly]

Surly Karate Monkey (29'er) will be my next bike. i've been wanting to try out a 29'er for awhile and i want an XC bike again. right now my trail bike is a 35lb azonic saber, so i'm looking for something faster on the climbs.

 

[laura]

i want to build up a hard tail as soon as i get some extra cash coming in. i am unsure of which one i will be getting but right now i'm looking for a SC chameleon.

There's a white medium Chameleon frame in the Buy/Sell Forum. I thought about it for a minute as I'd also consider a chameleon, but I don't want another white frame.

 

[DamienC]

Patiently waiting for one of these . . . :evil:

 

[Echo]

I have a buyer for my old road bike... so the count remains at 5.

DAMNIT!!... that was my second though when I saw you had a new one on order.

A road bike (soon to be the Bianchi)
the blur
the explosif
the asx
??? something DHish?

 

[biggins]

i would like to build up a new urban bike. Now i am down to one bike. I am thinking another soul titan.

 

[Wumpus]

I'm thinking about one of these to fill in between the HT and the Chaparral:

 

[samich457]

Trek Session 77 !!!!! Not a popular pick here on RM but Ive got one of these on the way. Just frame not complete bike. Should be here end of December. CANT WAIT!!!!

 

[Mtnrider]

2005 Santa Cruz V10, on order!

 

[Lexx D]

Either a V10 or a vp free, Can't decide.

 

[Echo]

??? something DHish?

Kink Freebird (not very DHish )

 

[narlus]

probably a used road bike. i've got everything else covered (trials bike, DH bike, FS trail bike, xc HT (i can use my wife's), and street bike) except for a FR bike, and i'm in no hurry to get one.

 

[KNine]

I am considering two complete bikes right now. An brand new 04 stinky delux for 2k or a brand new 04 norco fuse for about 1600. But then again i have not bought a complete bike in over 5 years. I like to do my own builds.

 

[lukeduke]

i have every other possible niche bike one could imagine, so this is the next toy. Just substitute a rigid fork and v-brakes. hoping it is very light, that should not be a problem. also going to try tubeless for the first time, praying that gets me away from goat head thorn flats every couple of days on my 1 mile commute to work.

Tubeless won't save you from goathead flats. They'll just make it more of a pain in the arse to get it fixed........

-S.S.-

 

[lukeduke]

if i run a scoop or so of stan's sealant in them, should solve the problem, no? i should have specified that.....

 

[Ian F]

Prossibly a VPP-Free to replace my aging Lawwill 6... no idea when it'll happen... a Foes Fly is a possiblity as well...

I also find myself missing my cross-bike from time to time...

I don't really know. Goatheads suck. I do know that.

[Mike B.]

I'm seriously considering a Titus Motolite to replace my Loco Moto but the fact I can't get one with anodized finish really bugs me. If I knew I could get the time away to make a few road trips this year I'd also get a Supermoto or IH 7.?. In all reality I'll probably get my Loco's shock Pushed and pick up something for a commuter bike come spring.

Buy my bike, bitch.

 

[FlipSide]

Intense Uzzi VPX for me. I'm seriously thinking about it right now. I may be ready to buy it in 9-12 months if I don't find another bike I like more than the Uzzi.

If my XC bike (circa 2000) dies until then, I may replace it with a RM Blizzard frame in order to save some $$$ for the Uzzi.

These are my plans several month in advance and it may very well change.
