Then... I test rode the Specialized Tarmac Elite . All carbon, all Ultegra, beautiful "custom" (Starts with a G?) paint job... and I was WOW'ed. LOVED IT. It rode like a dream and was really peppy and fast.

The price for that one? $2200 marked down from $2500. $400 over what I wanted to spend.

I loved it, but I decided that I need to see what my raise at work will be and IF I get any money back on my taxes, before making the decision to buy it. And if it's gone when I have the money, then so be it. It wasn't meant to be.
gee, you sound way too sensible. THe right bike will appear.
