I don't mean to be sarcastic; I think it's actually a good bike. (Despite the fact that I am an obnoxious fixie-riding hipster!) I'm curious to see what you get when you can afford to buy the dream bike!
I'm going to be at ReaderCon for most of the weekend but it ends Sunday at like 3 and I will not have gotten any exercise the whole time, so a bike ride would be great, actually...
I like gears, you know? In my current state of fitness I need all the mechanical advantage I can get - and I just love that relaxed cruise down the hill I just struggled over with the wheels going 'zizzzzzzzz'.
I dunno what the dream bike is, exactly. Some crazy lightweight material; probably no shocks - though the condition of Boston's roads is making me reconsider that.
Shiiiiny!
