So what happens if you really get addicted to riding?
Other than having a:
let's_do_50_fast_ones_on_Saturday_morning_with_the _boys... You've got
a $5000 unit that does nothing else well. You can't ride in winter...
skinny high pressure tires suck on cold pavement. You can't ride in
the rain, well you can, but getting road dirt out of that $2500 drive
train is annoying. Super-light fenders would help but hey...they don't
fit. You can't ride at night... you might hit a chuck-hole and ding
something that costs a grand to fix.
You know where that Serotta looks really good? In a picture on Ebay.
With the rest of them. Great selection there... Triple mint condition
too <g>.
