How many bikes do you have???

Sfa-
And taking time to check out speedy road bike models would help. And you know that "checking out" could mean several months...which means saving up more money for no.2.

I'm already at that stage! I started with a lot of internet research over the past several months, then just going into the LBS for various other things and looking at the road bikes while I was there, then on my most recent trip I talked to one of the guys in the shop but didn't do any test riding. That'll be the next trip.

I figure I can drag this process out for a long time, but with a trip to Ireland and Norway coming up in a couple of months, I'd have a hard time justifying the expense.

It'll happen. I need to make DH read this thread so he can see that I'm not crazy to want more than one bike!
