That's a whole other thread. The new one is actually the high-school touring bike that was preserved in amber in my parents' garage. It's an old Lotus Legend, with Shimano a 600 group, and it weighs about 18 pounds (really!)... it makes the reliable old hybrid feel like a minivan. Plus, thrown in the bargain was my dad's basically unused Fuji S-10-S...which...now, I don't want to get greedy, but...a fixie, somewhere down the road?
I can't believe I'm talking like this! What happened to me? Seven months ago, I used a bike to take a kid to daycare when the weather was decent...now... I'm an addict or something!
