    I consider any bike an investment in my physical fitness. That's how I justify my "forever" bike. The best I can afford and will keep forever. I think a better bike makes you a better rider. I started with an aluminum bike with 105components, and when I got the carbon hotness ( roubaix pro), What a difference. Get what you want, and what makes you happy. If you love your bike you will enjoy riding it.

    Alright, I'm gonna do it! I'll post a pic once it's built up.

    Thanks for the advice!

    I have what some might consider a "too much bike". At least it was when I got it and I guess I'm still trying to live up to it. It's definitely built for speed, but like others have said, I can use all the help I can get! I ride it a LOT, so it's an investment being well used.

    My husband hopped on it the other day when he unloaded it after my century for me. He just rode down the street and back and said, "Your bike rides NICE." I was like, "Huh?" I don't really know any different! I just know I like her and she has served me well. Whatever helps me keep up with my friends!
    GO RIDE YOUR BIKE!!!

    If you like it and can afford it, who cares. I have a bike that some would think is too much for a rider like me. It may be because it's a slightly esoteric brand, but I don't care.
    People are weird. I know it's not going to make me go faster, but I still like my bike...

    Having too much bikes runs in our family. I've got 2 racing bikes, a MTB, a brompton, and 2 regularbikes and there is always room for more. My parents have 16 bikes. They are in their mid-seventies and they still ride every day winter and summer.
