I have one "tortoise" and one "hare": a 9-year-old Waterford touring bike (gorgeous deep forest green with gold accents) and a gently-used-before-I-got-it Bianchi Veloce. The Waterford is lazy-boy comfortable, but relatively heavy since, well, 9 years ago, steel frames were relatively heavy. The Veloce is also steel, but only about 1 1/2 years old, nice and light, but I've had her for a few months now and can't seem to do enough to make her really comfy. Our days together may be numbered .

Oh yeah, I also have a cheap cruiser for tootling around the neighborhood.
