Because I love this frame. I tried road cycling when I got out of college and hated it, so I went into MTB. Then when my doctor told me to give up on running I decided to give road one more try. When I tried this bike for the first time (minus the crank arm mishap) it was absolute love.
I went through hell to get this bike together, so there is an emotional attachment. Besides, I made a pact with myself: I finish grad school with honors, I can buy myself a brand new road bike.
I treat Sweetness better than my MTB, and that was my first LBS bike purchase.
