+10 Its a proven fact that all steel frames suck. Despite this, I have limited my 100+ accumulation to steel because, well, I am an idiot. Until I wise up, I will probably continue to make the mistake of buying steel bikes. Bought another one over the weekend. This insanity MUST end! Hopefully I will find similar idiots in my marketplace to relieve me of most of them. When the rest of my market wises up, I am going to be stuck with quite a large pile of steel scrap. Unfortunately, most are not even my size!

Lets see, scrap steel is bringing 3 cents here. So a 30 pound bike will give me 90 cents... This is going to be bad.... really bad. Hopeless, very grave situation here.....

I think I will go take one of my crappy steel bikes out for a ride this afternoon. Hopefully it will not leave me stranded. Better take the cell phone just in case, and leave a route map with my wife.

If the crappy steel bike and I make it back, I will have to celebrate it making one day more with my favorite beverage. The beverage thankfully comes in an aluminum container, so I know it will not let me down.
