sold out, or maybe bought in?
so, i ended up selling my track bike and buying a carbon road bike. my riding style and goals have changed over time, and this is the best choice for me right now. i'm still going to put together a beater/training conversion whenever i get a chance, though. you may now banish me to the road forum immediately.

This forum is so consistently off topic that I don't think it's really going to be an issue.

I just bought a carbon bike too Jesse. I struggled with the idea (I like old stuff), but I was over the tetnus shots.
Seriously though, it's the 21st century. Shoot me if I like sub-14 pound fast bikes!

so is Parlee and Calfee. not exactly frames for the average buyer.
i don't see the point in selling a bike to get another. why not just hoard?
