Choosing a bike, part 2

What bike do you wish you had waited for? Hope you get it!

What bike do you wish you had waited for? Hope you get it!

Was this directed at me? I just think I should have waited and really evaluated my needs. Like you, I don't really need the speed (my current flat bar road bike is fine). I just ended up with another road bike. It was almost an impulse purchase. And then, after I took her home, I realized there were some features that I preferred on a different bike. I get torn between having that one all-around bike, or a small collection of unique bikes.

But this isn't about me, it's about YOU and your beautiful new bike, and that sunny CA fall foliage weather! Enjoy!

Yes, it was for you, sorry I messed up the format... I know just how you feel; went through exact same. When you go from a junky bike to a much nicer bike like the flat bar road bike, you think it's perfect because it is such an improvement. Then you start realizing there is so much more to be considered, and the next thing you know you spend big $ on a Rivendell and your husband is scratching his head wondering what exactly was wrong with the other 'new' bike!

I wanted the all-around bike in the end. I tend to show favoritism to things, so I know one would always get chosen over the other and the other would grow rust. My Trek is now listed on Craigslist since the Rivendell is the new favorite.

Your new Betty Foy is gorgeous! Now you get to update your signature so you can be proud of her. It is fantastic to find just the right bike.

You know, I've been trying so hard! There doesn't seem to be an option for me to do it. I can edit pretty much everything else. Who knows the answer?
