2 wheels

I just bought a bike. Like 1 hour ago. It is a used bike of a good brand that fit what I was looking for. You know that feeling you get when you've just bought something and you're not sure you made the right decision? Well, I don't have buyer's remorse; I have non-buyer's remorse. My mistake was that I went to three bike shops before I went to the used bike shop where I ended up buying. At one of those three, I fell in LOVE with a bike. Love. It was such a sweet bike and such a great deal for the bike. The problem was that it was more than I originally budgeted. I could have afforded it, but I really should save that extra money for other things. Plus, one of the reasons for buying a bike is that I wanted something cheap that I could commute with and feel ok about locking up and leaving and not incredibly disappointed if it were to be stolen. My new used bike fits this need. The other one, not so much. But it was so hard to be a responsible adult and let the dream of owning that sweet, sweet bike go. Good-bye, Trek 7.3 FX; I'll never forget our test ride together. :)

A work of beauty...beautiful components...rides like a road bike
with more of a mountain-bike-like geometry
