N+1 got me
Just ordered my second bike ... I don't think I've got 30 miles on my first one yet (winter, of course) ... Got an amazing deal on it. It's a Simcoe; I found it on Amazon for $419 + tax--and I got the last one in Large size in Forest Green. Here, look:

No idea why the others are ~$300 more; I assume they only differ in paint color. Whatever, hooray for me.
I was shopping for something more conventional than my Day 6, because it won't let me stand up out of the seat for more than a second or two. Maybe this will shut off the N+1 syndrome for a while.

30 miles on your first bike and you're already on your second one?
You've got the sickness alright. Took me 11 years and thousands of miles to start wanting for a second new bike.
