Ahhh! I knew I could rely on the TEers to reinforce my need!

And I figure I can get rid of the old roadie now. It only sits on the trainer in case of bad weather. I can use the new bike on the trainer in yucky weather since it only has carbon in the fork.

And the hardtail will get handed down to a growing daughter pretty damned soon at the rate she's growing (like within months).

There we go - another soothing layer of justification spread like butter!



* I need the justification practice for when DD grows into my newer roadie and I replace it with something much nicer....
