Amen! I feel you Terminator. I had a MTB for 3 years now, but started going off road only buy the end of last summer. I couldn't believe how much fun it was. Too bad the winter was coming up and I had to forget about riding for a while. So guess what I did? I started subscribing to a bike magazine, searching information on bikes and parts, and trying to do pointlessly clean and adjust my bike every day. Better yet I figured that since I couldn't go out on the trails, I might as well look at pictures of them, so I found webshots.com and was sitting for hours staring at pictures other lucky ones took. Now as we getting closer to the summer I already managed to spend about 600$ on spare parts. Now that my MTB is ready, I decided to get a road bike. What can you do? That’s another 15 hundred on the way to the bike store.
