Longing for a race bike

I have a Specialized Tricross btw. But I often feel like I need a race bike.

You know, to go fast. I dream of a super light carbon or titanium frame without anything else, with a super aero position.

Then of course I'd add fenders to that bike you know, in case I hit water or rain.

If the road is rough or I want to do a bit of trails I'd better put on 32C tires too. Good for comfort too and peace of mind.

And heavy puncture proof tires!! I hate changing a tire during a hard training ride.

I can't really go on a ride without a repair kit, a change of clothes and food, at least. So I think I'd add panniers.

Oh and bottle holders.

A good set of lights is essential of course, for riding at night.

And of course I need a cellphone mount & barfly for the GPS thing. If you don't record it there's no proof that you ride fast as you do.



...

ah **** it, I'm taking the commuter.
