Beanz you are right - my Lemond Zurich (which I bought in 2002 for around $1700) has been a good bike and well suited for my abilities - it is foolish of me to buy the new bike - I seldom spend on myself like that. I don't have a new car (mine's 14 years old), I don't have new electronics (no flat screen TV yet, an old, slow computer), I have no fancy jewelry or clothes... this is it, my one indulgence. No doubt I will regret the money at some point.
