Ok, now we have the real problem.

It's all about trade offs. For example, my titanium Lynskey cost me new kitchen countertops and floor. Worth every freakin' penny.

Then go out and buy essentially a road bike that can run wider tires, like 28mm or even 32mm. I see a lot of those around here-Giant, BMC, Trek, Specialized. Analyze that to death, then take 10 minutes to pick quartz counters and LPV floors. Now everyone is happy. For now.
