I did a lot of upgrading on my road bike at first (handlebars, saddle, gel tape, stuff like that).... then decided I wanted a 2nd one to keep at the bf's...

Then I wanted to try 650 wheels... Then I had a cheap one from craigslist, then I was having lots of wrist pain from vibrations and didn't want vibrations...

So anyways... I guess maybe I started with 2 road bikes, there was another 1 or so... and I've got the 2 road bikes that I have now... Lots of craigslisting.

Love the 2 I have now - one titanium, one carbon... aluminum just didn't work for me, and seat tube angles bigger than 73 degrees just didn't work for me.
