It's funny. Pylon mentioned in another thread that buying a new car is the closest you can get as an adult to getting a really cool toy as a kid. I don't care one way or the other about cars, but I definitely relate when it comes to bikes. I think I could own about half a dozen if I had the means.
I actually think new bikes, give me a bigger woody than cars. There is something romantic about bikes.... like it is an extension of you, you complete the machine. I seriously avoid the LBS at any cost, because there is a 1 in 4 chance I buy a new bike if I go in. You guys seriously need to stop talking about cyclocross bikes. I am starting to get an itch.....
