Thank you, Miranda

Yes, I keep drooling over nicer bikes! I think we all do this but I just can't help myself!

I do love my bike, with the exception of the fitting issues I have with it and the fact that it's aluminum (I recently discovered that it inevitably fails), but I wish I was more informed before I bought it. Now I know exactly what I would be looking for in the future and I'm dreaming of my next bike already! I want something titanium and maybe custom but but with the economy slowing down I may have to wait...

I am a bit headstrong and stubborn and I'm slightly terrified that I will fall in love with a $6,000 bicycle and I will have to have it and get myself into trouble

I am frugal in almost all aspects of my life but it takes me a while to decide to make large purchases (i.e. contemplating for 6-12 months)--which I consider to be a good quality since I can sometimes become obsessed...
