Bikes: Too many bikes, too little time to ride

those h+ knockoffs look good, but they messed up the "cantilever dropouts" on the old school cannondales (unless that was done intentionally).

you can get a lot of bike for 4-500 (frameset/fork) nowadays, new or used. i understand the hipster tax in effect but paying 1g for a 15 year old frame (regardless of frame material) is ridiculous (i've owned 3 titanium road bikes, complete with decent components, and not one cost more than 9 bills).

not to mention, i've seen many hipsters with the og c-dale track frames who are doing tricks on them and putting the frame through abuse it wasn't meant to withstand. they soon realize that they picked the wrong frame (steep head angle, steep rake, toe overlap, forward sloping top tube) for doing tricks but because they stupidly paid an arm and a kidney for them, they won't sell for less than they paid.
