FWIW, I'm going to start a 12 step group for people like us - just as soon as I decide that I'm ready.
Do you find yourself looking at big blowout sales on bike parts even when you don’t need any? How about the fact I had the Carbon bars well before I ever thought of building a bike? Is the fact that your parts box seems to magically grow for no reason at all? Or is it a sign if I have three extra rear wheels and hubs and am thinking I need another front wheel to make things even? Is looking on line for the best deal on extra Chainwheels a bad sign? Am I doomed?
