don't worry, it's all good. On this sub-forum we are per definition so poor we have to work!
me, I ALWAYS want one more bike... Those Bianchis do look lovely 'though.... mmmm... I think I want one!
I don't need more bikes but I'm always am interested in owning (to ride) more bikes. Given how long I've been involved with cycling, I think I'm pretty average with the number of bikes that I own.

I thought we had transcended that. Which, imi, you have only tossed out there nicely enough, not flailed at with the prior sugmly offensive 99% silliness that mbryant52 floated in the punchbowl.
Don't worry, I've been on internet forums long enough to not be too offended by what people post.
As a former regular commuter, it's interesting how commuting has evolved over the past 20 years.

I've tried many different light set ups, none seem to work the way I wanted it to.
That includes a full blown custom. Nice bike but it still came in as a 28 lb monster.
I ended up with a vintage sport touring type bike, with a good set of wheels!
I hope it all works out for you.
The ortlieb or caradice bags are both easy to use and work well.
Good luck
If this bike doesn't work out I can always sell or donate it.
I've been looking at Ortlieb bags but I haven't seen Caradice.
