Okay so here's the story:

I'm gonna be commuting into the city and don't wanna ride my road bike for several reasons. Long story short I want to buy a SS as means of simplicity and economics. -- (I don't feel it's necessary to ride an expensive bike just so i can worry about it getting "lifted' every time I lock it up.)

-- However, here is my dilemma: My boyfriend insists he wants to build it for me. He is urging me to buy a new frame, switch the wheels I currently have on my Felt road bike (Mavic CXP's) to the one he wants to build. Then buy faster/lighter ones for my RB. He wants me to buy all the top of the line 10 speed components to build a "commuter/cyclo bike for commuting. -- Does this seem strange to anyone else? I think the simplicity of having a SS makes sense. -- I don't have to worry about theft as much, and there is less to break on it. -- Don't get me wrong having a Cyclocross bike would be nice too, but I don't think that is the best scenario for my needs at present.

Is it just me, or is he just build happy?
