Eh. Fine if you're a racer or a racer wannabee, I suppose, but where are the touring frames with nice long chainstays and cantilever mounts? Where are the 36-hole touring wheels?
Sorry, but my dream bike isn't available from WrenchScience.

Why would I want to go there when researching and and acquiring parts is SO much more fun? My Dream Bike (current rendition I'll grant you.) is sitting not 5 feet from me at this moment.
