60cm Betty Foy - for my wife. Still working on it - got it as a web special in fall 2014, but toddler + renovation + job + pregnancy has pushed it down the priority list. 25" 1983 Trek 620 - 650B conversion bike. Still working on it - see list of alternative priorities above!
58cm Cannondale XS800 - 2001/2 model cyclocross bike with front headshock suspension. Has its charms, but I think it will be taken out of rotation once I get the Trek settled in. Used to ride in NY, Montreal, touring in France, fastish but rambling rides. 1960s/70s Torpado. Cheap Italian lugged steel road bike I bought for $70 when I lived in Montreal and was volunteering at a bike co-op from a guy who was not interested in dealing with the tubulars. Set up as a fixed gear road bike. I really like it - it has pretty, ornate chromed lugs, gas pipe tubes, is beat up a bit, but it works well for what it is, fits me ok, and was the right price. Still have the Campag Valentino that came off of it kicking around in a box. Civia Twin Cities - my urban bike. It has some serious drawbacks - the twin skinny top tubes make the rear end wiggle all over the place with a rear load, and I wish it was longer and had better fender clearance. But, it was a good deal, I won't cry if it gets stolen, I can carry lots of stuff and my daughter on it, and I really like the Nexus 5 speed hub for city riding. Ideally I would have a Cheviot, or Clementine or even more ideally for me a Workcycles FR8 to replace this. However, all of those are expensive if they walk away, and I live in a high bike theft city, so will spend my money on other rides. 1987? Douglas HornetXT - Recently acquired mountain bike. It is not pretty, it has cheap replacement wheels/saddle, but otherwise full Deore XT 730 in really good shape. I got it cheap as a trial balloon for a 26" wheel all rounder - which I intend to enact after the Betty Foy and Trek, so likely actual build will wait until 2017 ;) - second child on the way and it looks like I'm going to have to keep my day job... I don't know anything about Douglas, but it looks like it may have been a Colorado Cyclist house brand, and the frame is a lugged Tange triple butted tubed made in Taiwan to quite decent but not elegant standards bike. In its current state it is the bike I ride to work when I don't need to drop daughter off at daycare or go shopping. It is unfussy and unburdened by either monetary value or weighty accessories.
