Is this bad?

Okay, you're all going to tell me no...
In addition to planning the upgrade of the Avail and the eventual purchase of a new go-fast bike, an idea has formed in my mind:

The grocery-getter/touring bike, also possibly for low-key riding. Steel frame. British racing green, possibly with cream and red-orange. Leather accoutrements. (I suppose if it's BRG, I have to go with a Brooks, right?) Racks, fenders, the lot. Knobbly tires for wet and gravelly roads.

I'm going to stop now, at least until I have enough money to actually do this. This is what happens when I don't sleep. I start thinking about what I'm going to do with my bike next. Or with my next bike.

I just acquired a lovely new bike (SoMa mixte frame, nicely built up as a sporty farmer's market/touring bike), and I have been riding far more because of it--but that hasn't stopped me from embarking on a new dream about a Bike Friday and a European tour.

Let the dream percolate for a while and see if it's really something that would improve your life and be worth spending the money on. (It sounds pretty good to me.)

We expect you to!

Oh dear, I'm afraid I should just put that in my signature.
