Roll Call 2011-09-17

11 bikes in the fleet as of today.

I took the camera out to take shots of the Xtracycles and just kept on going, deciding documenting the existence might be good for insurance purposes.

I congratulated myself on the uniqueness of form and function of each machine until I realized I have 3 roadbikes, 2 of them carbon and now without the fenders
to make it "The World's Coolest Rainbike", the Giant is redundant. And the frame looks way too small given the crazy seatpost length. Guess its supposed to be that way, being compact, maybe the fashion has changed.

So thinking about selling off Xtracycles, Santana Tandem, Giant and even (gulp) the big Pinarello. I like the fact all are in good running shape and actually used. Mismatched tire models/colors, dust, filth on the MTB, messed up handlebar tape.
Drivers all, no wallflowers in this bunch.
