Ditto. I had the Nishiki with no good stem shifters, so I bought the Diamondback to use its old STI's, and then I needed some DT shifters for the Diamondback, so I bought the Ironman for the Suntour group to swap onto the Diamondback, which left me with an Ironman frame with some Shimano and DiaCompe parts, so I took the Light Action stuff off the Lemans and put it on the Ironman and put the other Shimano stuff on the Lemans, and I didn't have a saddle, but the LBS had a saddle, and while I was there they sold me this cool wheelset, so now I have a 27" spare from the other bike, so I need a frame for my single-speed, and the bars were left over in lieu of bullhorns, so I got the Bianchi frame out, and it already had a bottom bracket, but I needed a crankset and somehow I ended up with the mixte, the touring bike, and I'm bidding on two more. So honey, if I would have had some good stem shifters, I'd only have one bike, but it's awfully tough out there in this market, and you have to take what you can find, make lemonade, and have you seen my bike shoes...?
