I suppose one of my problems with getting an expensive bike is that I destroy bike parts at a fairly good clip. Wheels, forks, frames, derailleurs, seats, racks, bottle cages, etc. I'm not in Chalo's league, but I'm doing fairly well for an amateur. I guess the only thing I have that's original on my existing bike is the frame, handlebars, and cranks. I might have more except for the time my husband drove it into the garage while it was on top of the car. I tend to destroy everything though, that's why I gave up wearing a watch a long time ago. Me too -- my husband complains that I have to replace my watches twice a year. But this to me then points to the need for quality components -- if the cheap stuff is just going to break, it might be worth it to spend a little more. Not for Dura-Ace, but for Ultegra, at least. I really do like the look of the SOMA frames though. I've been toying with the idea of getting on of those for my next road bike. What about Vanilla? http://www.vanillabicycles.com/ They're down in Portland... TiCycles unfortunately seems to think that a cyclocross bike is the same as a touring bike, otherwise I'd give that local company more consideration. Hmm, I've never really looked into them that much. Usually I just stop into the store because they're the only one I can find who stocks some small part I need. So, I've never really looked into them as a whole bike supplier per se. They're conveniently located off the BG -- clearly oriented to ride-by traffic, as opposed to people who arrive by car. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky please substitute yahoo for mousepotato to reply Home of the meditative cyclist: http://home.earthlink.net/~cpetersky/Welcome.htm Personal page: http://www.geocities.com/cpetersky/ See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/Cpetersky |
