being an admittedly older guy I kinda like the more relaxed geometry, (better for my lower back). I'm kind of drawn to the wheel switch possibilities of the cross as well with the best of both world's in a single frame. I'm guilty of wanting several bikes now though as much as I've tried desperately deny my natural nurturing nature to any and all wayward bike parts that might come my way. It's so easy to suddenly find oneself with an entire wing of the mansion dedicated to all things cycling.
My ideal quiver would be a bike for every use and then some, BUT that's not going to happen unless we hit the numbers. Sooo a SS/fixie flip/flop ripper for street/track and a geared cross ride with an extra set of wheels for roading, and of course the mtb which will soon be SS and then rigid.
Most recently been jonesin' for a bmx with pegs, and bars I can spin.

(I'm the Dan that came in on my Red/White fade Mielle fixed gear conversion in October because it felt "weird and grindy" and you guys noticed that my seatstay had snapped off).
Big fan of the bike by the way.
In other news:
I received $200 of the $350 owed to me by the guy that ran me over (he's paying the rest in a week or two). Cold hard cash baby! And everyone thought I was screwed. Over the last couple of days I took my two ****ed wheels, and trued them back to 75% perfection. Good enough until they pooch out. It took forever. It's bad for the ego, rebuilding screwed up wheels. The whole time I was thinking "Oh man, I've lost my edge. I don't know how to build/true wheels at all". I had to keep telling myself that the mechanic said they were beyond repair, so any resemblance to a functioning wheel was a miracle. I'm good for now, until I figure out what I want to do for wheels.

I just found this *6* hour radio show completely dedicated to James Brown music. Wicked!
https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/1853 for the playlist, and near the top, just click 'listen'.
Long live the godfather of soul (and funky funk funk)
