Yeah, that's pretty much what I've been doing -- but I think people would like to see a possible future bike for themselves -- one that doesn't involve hours of trolling Craigslist and gabbing with a bunch of oddballs on internet forums . Now that good straight-from-the-LBS city transportation bikes are available again, I think I should probably support that move. Which is why my wife is getting a Breezer for her birthday. She's not as thrilled with old stuff as I am, anyway...
