Very true, indeed. I know that between the spare parts I've accrued and inherited over the years along with the local bike co-ops I could build a solid commuter for two or three hundred bucks, tops, but I choose not to.
I'm obsessive enough. I don't want to become the hyper-miler equivalent of a bike commuter. It's tempting, as a challenge, but my wife already suspects I'm a little OCD as it is.
