My stable below. Can't see the reasoning behind buying a new bike, there are so many great used bikes out there or frames to build on. And all the CF bikes look so disposible to me, like they'll be in the dump in 5 years. Not so thrilled with the war machine look either. But, I also like downtube and bar end shifters much more than brifters, so what do I know. I actually stand and sprint out of stops, maybe change gears a total of 3 or 4 times a ride; who does that anymore!
