Did I miss the Kool-Aid?? No disrespect to those taken with this bicycle or Chris Chance but BEST EVER?? I've checked the auction to make sure I didn't miss anything....This is a nice looking bicycle to be sure but if this is the best bicycle ever I'm selling off everything and going to get my golf clubs from storage. When I think 'Best Ever' I think of something evocative, astonishing, etherea or astounding...I look at this bicycle and think 'nice'.
It would be an interesting exercise for one of our esteemed and ambitious members to poll and collect everyones "Best Ever" bicycle choice with data and picture. Additionally, like a parent being made to chose their favorite child it would be difficult for many of us to decide on the ONE ultimate best ever bicycle. It would be fun to try all the same and see some truly astonishing bicycles.
