I'm sure you're right.

I don't really need the mixte. I just want it as much now as I did years ago, and could potentially afford it this Fall.

Bike lust is never reasonable, darn it!

It's gonna be a hard Fall - I'll have an empty nest and I'm moving to a new place where I won't know any neighbors yet. I'll be right on a 50 mile long multi-use trail system, however; and intend to ride a lot.

I could ride any of my bikes...
(I just want a sexy new one cuz I'm gonna be alone and lonely, and any justification is a good one for a new bike; lonely + stressed + fat = NEW BIKE in Knot-math!)
