that makes five bikes now... I think that's one too many.

This bike was gifted to me today. Can you guess where it came from?

2010 Argon 18 Gallium Pro
Full DA 7900 Di2
Mavic Cosmic Carbone SL with CycleOps Powertap Pro
Specialized toupe saddle

She just needs some Zipp contour SL handlebars and it's ready to roll.













Now the only question that remains is which one is my beater bike?

I'll trade you my Allez Sport. Then you'd have a clear beater bike. Just trying to help out

My first road bike was an allez comp. I think the bike that I'm going to get rid of is my rock hopper. Bought it last year for a weekend trip and haven't used it since.

once in a lifetime thing I'm sure tardman

You one lucky sob. I wish my friends were as generous
Nice bike, but you got to lose those pink scrunchies.

You may be able to convince me to take the rock hopper... I'll be driving past Toronto in a month

So, please share how one goes about getting "gifts" like that? I want to sign up...

Please remember this thread the next time you accuse your Uncle Pcad of having too much Bike Schwag.

Step 1) Work in a high profile position for the marquee sponsor of a pro cycling team.

Step 2) Have owner of said company see you riding a bike from the competition.

To be fair I have access to argon 18 at cost. When I was buying last year they didn't have the gallium pro in my size and I wasn't interested in their lower models. I was going to wait for the spring and get the 2011, but I got the Felt frameset at a price that I couldn't resist, so I gave up on getting the argon.

There is no such thing as too much bike schwag... too many bikes maybe.

That bike was stolen from me in Florida.I think you should send it back to me.

See Rule 12
"While the minimum number of bikes one should own is three, the correct number is n+1, where n is the number of bikes currently owned. This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of bikes owned that would result in separation from your partner."
