Funny thing is, too, I've never been unhappy with any bike I've bought. Some I've liked better than others, clearly; and some I'm glad that I didn't buy brand-new, because I would have disappointed for the price and/or lost money selling them when I decided that they weren't the ones to keep....but overall, it's been a lot of fun, and I've yet to ride any truly bad bikes. The things separating the bikes I loved from the "meh..." ones, were actually not all that drastic- but rather quite subtle.
