Ugh, been there. Actually, still there. The walls of my apartment were that lovely pink when I moved in, and I've only re-painted half of the place (too busy riding and obsessing over bikes to waste time painting).

Hmmm... Well, I admit that improvement is part of my intent in getting a new bike. I want to be able to ride hills more easily and to sometimes go fast. But, I'm more likely to obsess over deciding on a bike than to obsess over training on it after I have it. Training's too serious, and I'm looking for fun. I'm sure there'll be some improvement, but don't set the standards too high for me, ok?

Knot, I'll definitely post pics. It's gonna take me a while to look around, test ride, and decide, though, so this isn't gonna happen any time too soon. If I feel myself getting too eager over any particular bike, I'll get in touch with Regina for a dose of rationality
