Dream bikes - what is yours?

Wheels of Happiness

Every one has a dream.  If you must dream, dream big.  It is nice to have something to aspire for, something to be excited when you wake up each morning, especially if you are to exercise to be healthy and strong.
You want an equipment that will make your blood and heartbeat be faster.

These are my dream bikes and I want to acquire them soon, and ride them within this year.  I hope I can do this and  enjoy as long as I live:

                                          Inspect ko tomorrow early morning sa Makati City


                                                          Ang ganda di ba?

The other mans bike is always better?

Fuji superlight bikes












My recent journey of looking for new bikes and hunting for carbon bikes reminds me of the stories about the "Acres of Diamond about envy and wanderlust and the  idea that the other mans lawn is always greener.  The story of "Acres of Diamond" was about an Indian who dreamed of riches from Diamond. So he sold his land and set for South Africa where stories were rife with diamonds that can be mined from rivers and beaches.   But lo and behold, a mining company laid the stakes all ready to all the sites and the poor Indian could not get his hand on diamonds

Poor and feeling a failure, the Indian returned to his native land India where he eventually died. He was buried in the land where he used to leave and lo and behold, the grave diggers found plenty of diamond, now the  center of diamond mines in India.

Moral lesson:   you do not have to look far for opportunities or better deal.

Now for the past several weeks being afflicted with upgraditis, I have spent a great deal of time searching for better bike frames especially carbon:  Cannondale, Scott, Bianchi (it all started with that)   mag aabang sa bike replica ni Atty. Fortun etc.  I must have looked like a fool doing that.

I even planned to return the Fuji carbon bike yesterday to its original seller. And the seller offered to give me only P30,000 for the carbon frame set, Campy Record and the carbon fiber frame and fork.

But after  reviewing the video and other literature, I have in  my hand one of the lightest carbon frameset in the world.  (Mga 700 grams nga ba?)  One of the lightest bike in the world weigh less than  5 kg   and its made by Fuji.  Mine weighs about  less than 7 (6.5 kg)   The Mosso bike weighs about 8.2

Ano kayai ituloy ko ang proposed deal ko sa Willier owner?
