If I have to work overtime to afford a bike, then I’m not riding.

That means I'm unlikely to buy another bike for at least a decade, and it means I'm "stuck" with bikes made of 853 steel and Lynskey-crafted titanium. <br /><br />My bikes are relics of my fredliness. The thought of spending five figures on another bike, or even mid-four figures, has about the same appeal as the thought of getting a tattoo on my face. <br /><br />Chazunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-22465898203950356712017-11-27T11:31:05.600-05:002017-11-27T11:31:05.600-05:00"Appearance is of course subjective, and to b..."Appearance is of course subjective, and to be perfectly honest if you gave me a big pile of cash on the condition that I had to spend it on the coolest-looking (to me) bicycle I could find or else you'd burn it all, this would not be the bicycle I'd choose."<br /><br />You could spend the big pile of cash on the Renovo and then burn that instead.Lieutenant Obliviousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-13781438180687785602017-11-27T11:13:04.330-05:002017-11-27T11:13:04.330-05:00Late to the party, SCRANUS!Late to the party, SCRANUS!Lieutenant Obliviousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-47811004373352639742017-11-27T11:07:17.195-05:002017-11-27T11:07:17.195-05:00Anonymous 10:58am,

It's exactly why I wanted to try the bike: I wanted to try an expensive, exotic bike that I never would have gotten a chance to ride otherwise.
