hey zoo...

thanks for the thought but...

it isn't a cross bike #1 (i don't see no rear canti bosses- cable routing ain't cross like) and #2 what the hell would i do with a second bike?

I don't need two road bikes, two cross bikes... pit bike?

Pit bikes ain't gonna win me any races... someday after i've been doing this gig for 20 years i might have a pit bike...

but...

seriously...

and not to metion... it is $400 dollars. For a used frame. No way man... thanks for thinkin of me though...

First of all, you can never have too many bikes. we're pretty firmly in the double digits now...

Secondly, that's a nice frame. Damn, i've always wanted a Merckx.

... and then, i started looking around on their site and found this:

complete bike using the same exact frame but a nasty hairline crack at the seat collar. "won't fail" ... hmmmmm. buyer beware.

I sold Merckx bikes back at Pine Street Pro shop.

While cool and all, they never sunk their claws in me the way the Klein bikes did...

Merckx? Meh...

while yes you can never have too many bikes...

in reality, you can...

I liked Kerry's rule, no more than one bike for every year you've been riding.

Yes, i've been riding long enough i should have at least double the number of bikes i currently own. argument/discussion for another time.

No more than 1 bike per year?

You mean I gotta get 19 more bikes?

Liz is gonna kill me...

Is that CTurd in front of you?

Hey, the correct # of bikes to have = current # of bikes + 1

Curly,

that indeed is CTurd

Bruce...

i think the rule of thumb goes out the window after 10+ years of riding.

Many folks i know get one bike, a perfect bike, and are very happy with that. No need for buying hords of mid range crap when you can just save your pennies and buy one perfect 'ultimate' bike...
