So far I have purchased a new seat, seatpost, tires, cassette, computer, and I'm just waiting on a new stem. After that I don't know what I'm going to obsess over. I guess I'll just ride the **** out of it until something breaks. :D

you could just go and buy another bike and do it all over again.
you can't have enough bikes..
How about new wheels, dropping some serious coin?

Lots of good ideas here :)
If it helps, you could buy something for my bike.

What you do next is look over your pile of parts that you have taken off your bike and think, "ya know all I'd need to make a "beater" bike out of that is..."

However, then you upgrade the beater bike and repeat.
You had best invest in a decent frame for the beater.

But, would you still hang out here? I'm thinking that if not, a petition could be started very quickly for a name change. :lol:
Sounds like you need new blingy rims. :thumb:

Time for an engine upgrade. Unfortunately money can't really buy them though, it takes actual work.

I hate it when someone gets there first...

You could always go for the gratuitous titanium bolt kit for everything and have the fun of basically rebuilding the bike with the same parts

Then what would you have to amuse yourself?
nokon cables, tiso bolts, KCNC skewers, Tune hubs, powder coated CX-Rays spokes in the color of your choice, impractically light and expensive bottle cages, etc.
Then what would you have to amuse yourself?
stealing candy from children.
There you go! You just misspelled it.

I'm half expecting to see steam pistons and a frame mounted boiler unit. :lol:
I could give you some ideas:
1. Upgrade the engine.
2. Replace every bearing with ceramic ones.
3. Upgrade the engine.
4. Wheel sets. Get several and don't be cheap.
5. Upgrade the engine.
See the trend?
