Mr. Silver-

I'm going through the same thing. I've sold my recumbent and am giving some serious thought to purchasing a new bike. However, I'm having a hard time convincing myself to part with the cash. My Univega (purchased in the mid 80's) is a great little bike even though it weighs 30+ pounds. I find myself thinking about a light weight bike, what will that do to my speed, my confidence, my desire to ride more? After the club ride this morning I'm planning on visiting a couple of shops and hopefully taking some bikes out for a spin or two. I've been looking at the LeMond Buenos Aires (WSD) but that is all at this time, just looking. At the moment I keep telling myself there is no harm in looking so that is just what I plan to do, look and dream. Who knows maybe by spring I'll be riding a new, fancy, light weight bike or I may just stick to riding my trusted friend. So Mr. Silver, go out and look and dream and have fun.
