My grandma desided to give me my inheritance early. well I have a burley hepcat with everything but the crank is higher end stuff. well the bike was a limbo I upgraded everything but the cranks. then the frame broke and I got a hepcat frame as a replacement. would like a lighter bike but unless I spend atleast 3 grand for a lightning p38 or what I really want a carbent. but most of my riding is commuting carring atleast a few ponds but sometimes 20 pounds.

Sometimes things in life take precedence over a bike. But as you already seem to know, if you wanna make something work you can. There's ebay, or buying used, or year end models. When I've wanted something bad enough, I've found a way.

I don't think I want one bad enough. I found something needs to be really useful to be enjoyable. a new bike would not really do much for me if I really think about it.

My hope for you is that you'll be able to take of the neccesary things and still be able to upgrade your bike.

I used to not be able to control myself and I still have problems on small stuff. I did get a laptop to use as my main computer and a ipod nano for my books on cd's at work.
