    Question How do you assess new bike affordability?

    Please note that the following post may involve some financial input but please feel free to disregard that part if it makes you uncomfortable I am looking for guidance, not answers

    After lots of riding around town on my Trek 830 which is cro-moly, I've decided to start looking for a more comfortable frame material, as my current LeMond frame is aluminum. I am thinking titanium or steel which will hopefully be the last frame I will every have to buy. I figure that it will take me quite a while to even find a bicycle I would consider purchasing so I plan to do lots of test riding in the mean time

    I am curious to know what financial and lifestyle considerations you make to determine whether or not you are able to afford a new bicycle?

    Thanks in advance
