  • Oddly enough, I am in a better financial situation than I have been in a long time despite the economy. But who's to say that I will even have this job within the next couple of months. For now I'm planning on building another fixed gear and maybe get a nice old road bike. It doesn't seem to be slowing out here with people buying new bikes and parts and what not, the local shop in LA even moved to a much MUCH larger location, so it seems as though business is doin alright for them. For now, I suppose all I want to do is pack my bags and bike and do some traveling while I can, and not feel bad about being so poor considering we're all in the same boat for the most part.

  • I wish I had a credit card...but thats like giving a 4 year old a marker and telling em not to mark the walls. Only bad bad things will happen.

  • haha and I thought having $1200 being given to me was a party.

  • hey in times like these, those words are logical. Which is why I'm buying a new bike and a plane ticket out there.

  • And un rideable in the new Venice esque London.

  • I'm gonna sneak on your boat.

  • My minimum monthly payment is almost as much as my rent :)
    Spend it now...worry about it later...words to live by...hehe....i'm not too good with money!

    sew like it's going out of fashion mate

  • Nope....cos i'll have taken out another loan prior to them melting so i can buy a big fucking yacht and ride my bike on the deck! ;)
    Who say's money can't buy happiness!

    Piracy is the future.

    Who say's money can't buy happiness!

    who says eh?
    that's a lot of debt on a credit card innit

  • shhh. Buy the boat

    so i can live on it when the earth floods.

  • Psh. Cake. I can cook, so you're in good hands.

  • I have no idea what you're talking about......

    ;)

  • As for the future, my next bike, the Bob Jackson will be the last fixed wheel bicycles I'll buy and build up (not sure what I'm going to do with the Bianchi, probably become a beater), for the future it would be nice to have a;

    Classic Peugeot PX-10 geared bike (especially to ride with my father on the pyrenees before he get too old).
    Bob Jackson fixed wheel bicycle.
    Pashley Roadster Sovereign as an town and utility bike.

    I'm hoping to live a car-free life, hence the choice of those bikes.

    Apparenty circumstance has changed and now I managed to get a;

    Colnago Super SL with modern gruppo (soon to ride the pyrenees with my dad)
    Brooklyn Machine Work Gangsta fixed wheel bicycle.
    Retrovelo utility bike with 11 speeds internal hubs.

    Defintely living car-free now.

  • Ha. Nice one, Ed. Welcome to the club.

  • It’s weird you type future into the forum search engine and go back 9 years.. wtf.. anyways I saw this recently, not sure if this is a repost..
