Generally, I'm pretty frugal. And generally I'm pretty opinionated. And generally I'm not too easily swayed by vanity.

So I managed to pick up a nice carbon-al bike frame in my size for $200.
less than 300 miles, no scratch/dent nada!!
A nice SET of wheels, front and rear, for $200. (new) Xero Lite XR-1
A very nice FSA handle bar for mere $25.00 (new) RD 200
A set of new skewer (back is Ti front is steel: NEW ) $30
gots stem which it fit.
seat gots sella Itallia in red/white.
Then I came across this:
my bike frame is red and white. I've ordered red bar tape, Michellin pro 2 race in red/blk so I think I would like to have this in beautiful white. But can I justify this?? I can get two of them... (i give up. how do I get the text to go below the image?) Planning on getting one of the three groupo. Ultegra, SRAM FORCE or DA (might be had for cheap than Ultegra)
I guess I'm trying to say its okay to splurge since I saved on the other stuff. Normally I would never show the price tag.
I guess i'm nermal
