I have found that as I get older (and wiser? grumpier?), I find myself getting cheaper and cheaper when it comes to cycling stuff.
I actually passed on a bike that I have desired and lusted over for years for this reason (Merckx 10th Anniversary with Dura Ace for $900) because I thought "Meh... a cheaper one will come up with Campy...". Well, that was 5 years ago.
I get grumpier and grumpier when I see the same NICE bikes listed for too much $$ over and over. "Hey, seller! If it doesn't sell for that price after being listed for 6 months, LOWER your price!"
