Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I have about 800 bucks in liquid cash... That being said, there is a 2012 CAAD10 on ebay for $650. Should I buy it now, Leaving me pretty much broke until I can sell my current road bike, or should I wait, and risk missing out on it?

Not gonna lie I still can't tell if he's joking about buying it.

Nag imagine you bought some bartape from scrod and got a caad 10 instead of a little plastic toy.

This is scrod ala ebay:

https://myworld.ebay.com/gawddang&ssP...84.m1543.l2533
I found him by chance when I spotted his kagero.

Next time when you spot a killer deal, do not post it out in a public forum.

Haha, ok I'll consider it after I get shin lengthening surgery here in the Philippines. I might be able to fit a 58 after that.
