New bikes for spring?

So is anyone out there thinking of getting a new bike this spring/summer?

I have a feeling that it's going to be another good year for the bike industry, if not for high gas prices, for the crap economy...

So what bike(s) are ya'll trying to acquire this year?


I'd really like a Mountain bike, something with a good adjustable-rebound fork and disc brakes. But I'll probably end up cheaping-out and buying an old rigid steel MTB and stripping it down to a Singlespeed and put the biggest front tire possible on it for a little shock-absorption.

I'd also like a singlespeed road bike, something old that I can put a porteur rack on, but that'll probably have to wait.
