I want a new bike

But seriously, I can’t justify it.  My bases are covered.  Utterly.  I have significant overlap.  I don’t have redundancy exactly, but I do have overlap.

I am not kidding about the versatility of that Karate Monkey.  Boy.  It’s something else.

What would I build if I could justify it?  Why, I’m glad you asked! (see what I did there?  yeah.  I rule.)

I want two of them actually.  And both from Vassago –

The Vassago Fisticuff.  Their “Cross” bike.  aaaaand

The Vassago Bandersnatch – their 29er.

Now, as far as I can tell, there isn’t anywhere I could bring a cross bike (Fisticuff) that I wouldn’t be better served by bringing my 29er, and I already have one of those.

This is the argument that kills all my dreams for either of these bikes.  Dammit.  And it’s only one sentence.

I guess I could outfit my KM for touring duties – put midge bars, fenders, and Big Apples on her, pick up a Yakima trailer… then pick up a Bandersnatch and outfit it for expeditionary duties like I’m doing with my KM…!

Yeah boy, I’m reaching.  I know it.

/le sigh

Here’s an image gallery of bikes from Vassago.
