I'll never buy something before I've decided what I want. Like getting a 135mm track hub before I get a frame it'll fit in (and end up with a 120mm frame), or Profile bullhorns and bar end levers, and end up using cut down drops and an aero lever. Stupidity reigns in my workshop :

1) Goldmember cut out autographed by Willy Karsten - obviously an E-bay fake.
2) The same model TTT aerobars as were used to break the work hour record in +/- 1993 (read, before people fully understood aero positioning or comfort).
