here is the new Audi TT. I wonder where they got the inspiration for the look of the rear end....

OK, I have to admit I've said in the past,"oh great, another stupid bicycle post", but now i'm gonig to be a hypocrit and post one myself.
I just bought this bike last week, it really makes sense.



I got tired of the whole "mountain bike and racer poser" thing, and since I only ride on the santa ana river trail with my kids, this bike is logical. Adjustable spring forks, sprung seat post, adjustable gooseneck, totally comfortable to cruise. It's aluminum and the components are of reasonable quality, well worth the nearly $300 I paid.

Nice bike. Your next one will have three wheels.

The bikes you buy are like the cars buy. They evolve thru your life.

I have to agree with you sammy...
Cracks me up when someone posts here looking for "a bike to ride with the kids in the park on weekends" and guys imediatly start recomending $5000 bikes.

Not that there is anything wrong with that

Don't get me wrong I can appricaiate all that hi tech titanium and carbon fiber on those expensive bikes but I am about as likely to need one as a CGT or Hayabusa.

OK-2K2 - partially completed, then scrapped...

Excellent site with status of each orbiter and each test vehicle: link
Sinsheim is a great looking place from the outside, never stopped in though.

yeah it's best to get what works for you.

This works for me...and less that $3k

Yeah? what year is it?

I see a '57 hooked to a 59 "Cat Eye." I like it, would not want to own it. But, that's the same with a lot of cars.
