why

why now would i decide to go to ebay and type in giant TCX? maybe because when jack commented how good the bike looked dressed up in black full coverage fenders i added that i've been thinking a 2009 TCX would be awesome to have for the fall so I'd have two stiff frames that fit me and one that I could leave the fenders on as a full time commuter.

well i hit ebay and click - ah damnit... a 2009 XL for auction... a complete bike and i'd have to ditch much of the parts, or at least the cranks... but that'd be cool to snag at a bargain... assuming it goes for a bargain. And now that i opened by big mouth in front of the tallest of the tall freaks of cyclocross nature I'm sure to have tipped someone off who's got more l'argent de pouche than i have rattling around...

kinda weird... granted with 5 bids and 6 days left - there are already a host of people keying into it...
