So a nice shiny road bike will be my reward for all the pain of PT.
And canam, I will keep an eye on the used market. Trouble is, I never have been a fan of buying someone else's troubles.
You might get lucky. I almost got a nice year-old Specialized Tarmac road bike in my size for half of its original price just because the owner decided to get the next size smaller. Judging from the pics he had, it might as well have been new.
