leaning to the other side of the fence...

I've been vacillating back and forth and I am about to fall off the fence. I have decided I deserve, and will get a new bike very soon. I have the trek 7.3 fx, and I will be upgrading to a 7.7 fx. It's lighter and has some nice components and comfort features and it's time for me to do a little revenge spending. So there!

It is really nice to feel like you deserve a nice bike...at least it was nice for me! I never do anything for myself, and buying a nice bike (I got a 7.5fx) was super splurging for me, and I usually feel guilty, but I didn't this time! Go girl!!

The older you get the easier it is to get past feeling guilty for doing something for yourself. Eventually you won't even feel a twinge

I have the 7.3FX. The only complaint I have is that I can't put disk brakes on it. I knew that when I got it. I chose that one because I didn't want a carbon fork. The carbon fork seemed ridiculous to me. By the time I was through with my bike it weighs 40 pounds. So with a carbon fork it might weigh 39 pounds? But now I wish I had gotten a higher end model, carbon fork and all, so that I could have disk brakes.
