Even after such a comprehensive and interesting analysis that Tom posted

to the list, I still find it difficult to define a hierarchical system to my bikes. They are all different, but it seems that each jumps to the top when I ride it. I guess it lends itself to a 'bike of the week', or more accurately a bike of the day.

One of the second tier bikes that someone mentioned was the bike i was intending to bring to Cirque. It was a bike rescue and complete redux. My rationale was that there will be a lot of the esoterica there, but not the 'pedestrian' unusual. This will be my first Cirque, so maybe this is not the case, but i did look at a lot of the documentation from the past. Of course, what people chose to photograph could have swayed my perception of the bikes that were there.

So, if you were counseling a neophyte of what they should bring to cirque that would be of interest to the attendees, what would the qualifications of that ride be?
