Yea i was sort-of of thinking that too. EEEH I really need help deciding. I always get bike's and get bored of them haha. But yea is spending $400 to race once a week a good deal? Hmm maybe twice, hopefully if my 2 bestfriends start again. I have like $940, but i don't know if i want to waste it yet.

Edit: I was wondering what the pad's do. Everyone has them, like the toptube, stem, and i forget the other? Thanks
