I'm falling to the Dark Side right now as well.
After commuting for a while, I'm getting more and more enthralled with the thought of having a fun "go fast" bike with no purpose but speed. I got my first taste of racing a couple of weeks ago when I pulled my team through the cycling portion of the Laughlin AFB Adventure Race to an eventual second place finish. (On the podium!) Yes, almost everyone there was a non-cyclist while I commute nearly every day...but dropping them like they were standing still was, well, addictive.
Now I understand the true power of the Dark Side.
I'm buying my CF speed machine this month. Then my fall will be complete.
