I have an opportunity to get a practically new trek pilot 5.0 frame. My husband says he can build it up using the 9 speed Ultegra group he has on my 12 year old Klein, we would just need to buy new brakes, headset and handlebars.

Then I would have a hardly used carbon road bike that is set up to be more upright and comfortable then my current road bike. Sounds like a great plan right?

Here is the quandary, I am currently completely uninterested in riding a road bike. That isn't really true I think about it sometimes but when it is time to head out for my ride I always go for my hybrid. I just feel so much confidence on the utopia that I don't feel on my road bike. I just bought the utopia last month and I have ridden it more in the past 5 weeks then I have ridden my road bike in the past 5 years.

So on paper the trek 5.0 seems like a great idea. More comfortable ride, better position and cheap. But should I get it just to get it? what if I still like riding my hybrid more won't it just be a waste of money and my husband's time?

One one hand I think i should go for it because I am pretty sure that the more I ride the more I will want to switch back to a road bike. On the other hand I think that if that time comes I can look for the right bike then, it doesn't make sense to invest in a bike I am not sure I want to ride right now.

Thoughts?
