Nothing wrong with bought and paid for! Just choked on my huge Visa bill this month - night class plus new bike means empty bank account. If you've got two bikes that work well, just keep riding them and save up till you get what you really want. If you end up compromising you'll just spend more $$ in the future. The good thing about inexpensive bikes means you're not running out to check on them every fifteen minutes. (I was extremely paranoid at first...) I notice sometimes on BF if you have a cheaper bike you can get shrugged off by some people. The important thing is, you're riding them.
