Yeah, I have a thing for heavy bikes for whatever reason. Maybe I just haven't ridden enough light ones
I'm wondering if I should just wait a bit and buy something like a fuji track pro, or something else? Suggestions?

Well, I have a date with someone from craigslist tomorrow to buy my roadie. (even though I love that thing) I figured I'd throw that money directly at a new visp, and ride that for a while and whip my sorry butt back into shape. I got pudgy after not riding fixed since last september. :-\
Then hopefully get a new roadie sometime this summer. Who knows though maybe I won't even bother with a roadie, and just get a nicer fixie. Can never have too many bikes I feel.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.

I hated myself for putting a brake on it. Yesterday a girl on a scooter ate it just a couple feet away from me. There was no way I could've stopped quick enough without it. I feel better now.
Thats my front door by the way
