I have even bought bikes I intend to leave as wet weather bikes and end up with a bike that is 'too good' to ride on a damp day.
I need help.
You should have seen this when I first got it - heavily chipped - parts that belonged on a department store bike - etc. Now the chips are repaired, a Campy set of components, it's clean. I'm a failure as I just cant leave things alone:
I'll see your awesome and raise you one.
Very cool.
Btw Gary, I am hopeless as well.
My brother called a few hours ago and said he came across a few bicycles I may have interest in.
Could I have just said no?
