I want to ride my bicycle!

I like bikes. I love bikes since I learned to drive one at the age of three. I always had a bike. I think he longest time I dind´t ride a bike was about two weeks, when I was on holidays abroad with my family and we couldn´t fit my bicycle in the car. There was the option to rent a bike at the campsite we stayed, but all of them were to small for me. I also always had very good bikes. I was very content with their quality. My father is een more fascinated by bikes than I am, and so I always had support when buying a new bicycle. 

In recent years, my connection to bikes got a little bit...complicated. 

The Ghost SE 5000

(BEST BIKE EVER!!!)

The first ever bike I really had to pay for, a black Ghost SE 5000, got stolen while I was at school. Seldom been so sad.

I really, really loved it. It looked great, the components were top notch, especially the tires, and I had no problems with it whatsoever. It still is the best bike I ever had and I paid a lot for it as a 15-year old boy. Worth every bit of it. 

The bike I got afterwards, the one I still have today, is a  Serious Bicycle. We ordered it online. We had never done that before, and now I say, I would never do it again. The specs of the bike looked good on paper, and it was on sale at the online-store. So we just went for it. It looked nice (a bit similar to my old Ghost), but it was a trap. The brakes were shit (had to repair both of them two times until now), and overall it is just not that great. 

So please, never ever buy a bike online. Always go to a local store, try out some bikes you like, get competent advice and only then buy your new love.

So, this is more or less my bike-story: TL;DR: I love bikes. 

Sometimes I catch myself drooling, because I´m just stunned by a absolutely beautiful bike I see. For example

The Trek Superfly 9.9 SL

or

The Ghost Riot 9 LC

I simply cannot withstand these looks. Especially Mountainbikes. They just have this form, packed with dynamic. The mechnical brilliance with wich these bikes are construced into such an amazing appearance, it just fascinates me. I hope, atleast some of you understand me!

Over to the last point. I´ve found the website of a custom bike manufacturer from Francisco on the internet and I quite liked it. So I thought, I´d share it: Mission Bicycle Company

Beatifully designed website, witty content and great bikes. But hte best part is their newly launched "most beautiful, most realistic, most freakin' awesome bike builder in the known multiverse". Try it, it´s brilliant and soooo fun, they offer so much ways to build exactly the one bike you want.

Here is my creation:

And now i want to ride my bicycle!
