I’m in somewhat of the same predicament. I just recently got a Terry Dolan and had to sell my old bike that would have made a nice beater. So now I’m left to ride my Dolan everyday in NYC and lock it up outside and ride it when it rains or build another bike. Well of course I’m going to build another bike but do I build something nice to ride in the rain/ lock it up all day, or do I just buy a stock $500 bike? Decisions decisions.
