   Sign me up for one of those beauties! I’m not afraid of a little “flower power” !!

   White just pops out at you so much more. Don’t understand why more commuter bikes don’t come in it.

   The white 925 at Sea Otter caught my attention from about 50 yards away.

   Are they changing the flowers to skulls for the gents?

   My 925 has a custom color of its own, straight from the factory. Check it out here:

   I dig the white though. I mean, DIG it. What’s with all of their demo bikes with non-spec, straight armed cranks?

   I don’t understand the appeal of bullhorns. When I look at them I just imagine a lack of hand positions. What am I missing?

   I like the white. I’d soil the handlebars after my first flat tire. I think it should have more reflectors on the fenders though. Also I believe in personalization, so some custom decals are in order.

   Aye…looks like a can of orange paint exploded on your bike!

    Ya, I know. It’s gray and black otherwise. I needed something that didn’t blend in with the asphalt and concrete of the road. It screams, “Hazard!”

    Mike, I’m a big bullhorn guy. My wife loves them too. I found I only used those sections on drop bars anyway so they make sense for us. Just preference and body types, I guess.

    Dude…the “carpoon” video…wow. That’s the dumbest, most dangerous thing I’ve seen in a long while. Riding one handed, getting yanked around by a bunch of TUBES(!!) tied together, behind trucks and busses….seems like a GREAT way to get hurt.

    Looks like something that could result in a Darwin award…

    Dman, I’m right there with you. “Skitching” is one thing…physically attaching yourself to a truck or bus by suction cup is entirely another. Sure, you could let go of the free end of the tube-string, but still…

    Thanks for perpetuating the belief that bicylists on the road are all a bunch of crazies, Juan LesCarr.

    The carpoon was pretty dumb. I may fantasize at times about doing that, but my “That’s stupid don’t actually try it” filter is still in good working order.

    Looks like the other color combo is black/white

    Redline, you were on the right track in 2005, drop the dumb stuff. Horizontal drops, more room for brakes, tires and fenders.

    Bullhorn bars are lame and impractical. There are so many other options.

    You were so close, just get back there.

    Just got a white RL 925 48cm. I love it! Fantastic commuter bike and a blast to ride. I tested this against the ss Treks, Soulville, and townie. This was by far the best bike for the money. It’s much heavier and slower than the trek soho, but way more fun to ride. (the soulville is just a boring cruiser made to look like a commuter bike) My only complaint so far is that when I make sharp turns the front mudflap rubs against my foot. But I think I’ll solve this by removing flap or front fender.
    I recommend this bike to anyone (including gals) who are looking for a nice, relatively inexpensive ss commute.

    Jenny, just make your turns at a higher speed and you’ll never get “toeverlap”
