Oh I have no self-control. I went into my LBS for a pair of insoles for my sparkly-white new Sidis and a few inner tubes, and ended up making a down-payment on a leftover Stumpjumper Elite. It was $1100 less than MSRP of the '11 model, and it has XTR derailleurs instead of asSram. I walked out, then back into the shop three times, but when Abe said he'd hold it with a layaway deposit, I knew I'd only regret letting it slip away.
The mountainbike was supposed to be my reward for a sub-5:30 Etape du California, but paying an extra thousand-plus bucks for a bike with Sram wouldn't've been much of a reward.
