"Once you've had black..."

As I was contemplating the specs of the new (replacement for my bike destroyed by the pickup that rear-ended us) I looked at the available colors. Lots of beautiful options.
After giving it a couple days thought, I went with black... again.

On a more general note, lots of riders -- especially those of us over 50 -- are looking for a bike that they'll own for many years. Maybe even looking for the 'last bike' we'll ever buy. For many of us, it makes sense to get a custom built frame, sized to our personal measurements, and equipped with durable (and serviceable) components.
It requires a bit of planning, but it's worth the effort!
