Road Cycling - I still blame you people....

For my bike lust.....

I got my Sirrus Hybrid just to tool around town bike path, fitness and now I commute to work 2 times a week on it (20miles each way) and I have serious road bike lust.

I want one....:p

I know I don't need it and it'll cost a ton but I want one.

I test road the Trek 5200 and a Lemond Zurich the other day. Both felt good from what I could tell in the little test ride street they have.

Then I stopped in the Tri-athelete shop that does a lot of custom builds. Calfee uuuurrrrrrrrrgh urrrrghhhhh urghhhhhh. I'm like Tim Allen and I haven't even ridden one. :p

Looks like an expensive toy (not sure which one) will eventually show up in my future. Till then I shop/lust . Oh yeah and ride.

I REALLY need to find a different board to hang out on. ;)

:beer:

Hehehe ... I ended up spening about 2x what I origininally budgeted for a road bike! Worth every penny though!!

Sounds very familiar:
I bought a Hybrid last Spring, and then got hooked on biking. Test rode:
Alum: CAAD 7 liked it
Steel: Zurich like it better
Ti: Litespeed like it even better
Carbon: Calfee Luna Pro - WOW

Well I went shopping with the idea of spending $1,500 but spent $3,000 on the Calfee...2,000 miles later, and at a pace of over 200 miles/wk I love it more each day.

I wanted a bike I would grow in too, and more importantly I didn't want to be in a situation 2 years down the road wishing I had gotten something different...I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY DECISION


Good Luck!

I too did the same... I was riding a Lemond Buenos Aires until recently when I wanted a better fit...I found that none of the std geometry frames fit me well bcs I needed a shorter top tube length. So what did I do? spend twice my budget on a Seven Axiom Ti, built custom, Shimano DA, etc....and Im in love with it now...the weight savings in my wallent was as much as upgrading bikes....hehe

:love:

LOL I'll have more $$$ but I'll be fatter than ever.

I definitely blame all of you for my two new bikes. I was happy with my crappy Nishiki Meridian SC until I found this place. :)

he he he, to bad, but then the cycling bug has really hit you

It's not us, you know. It's the darkside of the addiction!
