May God have mercy on my soul.
So....I made a rash decision.
Went on Craigslist look at a 99(?) Jake the Snake. Frame size was good, had room for racks, bar end shifters, cyclocross tires, and room for fenders. Pretty much unridden. So I bought it. It isn't steel like the crosscheck. (which I was VERY seriously looking at) And probably not as versatile. But for $300 bones who could refuse?! I'm psyched. I'll post pics manana cause I"m hoping for some advice on how to use the extra money I saved to mack my new bike out.
Gotta get pics of the road and mountain bike for craigslist too!!!
Please don't tell my wife.

$300 for a Jake the Snake in great shape? Thou wouldst be smitten if thou had not procured such bread from heaven.
