WARNING...Bike Porn!

Damn! Does Brendan build some beautiful bikes or what??? Mine will look very similar, maybe with some lovely pink components. High drool factor, whatever the finished product.

Because I'm not a gazillionaire, I've decided to start accepting donations to my bike/race fund (see sidebar). I figure most people would rather donate to me, a somewhat rather entertaining person who is reasonably knowledgeable about bikes and extremely loyal to her friends and lives responsibly (for the most part) within her family's means, as opposed to bailing out their loser neighbor who decided they needed a 25 bedroom/15 bath home and now can't pay for it because they could realistically only afford a cardboard box. So, whatever you, my 1 or 3 or 5 followers, can do to help me out in this harshest of economic times would be greatly appreciated. You will be at the top of my list when I thank my benefactors from high atop a podium somewhere. AND, as if that were not enough, I will send you a personally autographed picture of me AND my bike so you can put it on your fridge and always know that you helped a married, middle-aged mother of 2 teenage daughters, realize her dreams of owning the perfect bike while still allowing her daughters to attend college.

I heart you all!
