    WHAT'S YOUR BUDGET?

    WHAT'S YOUR BUDGET?

    I HAVE A VERY, VERY STRICT BUDGET FOR INVESTING IN NEW BICYCLES.  It's really simple.  Anybody can use it successfully and have a lifetime of two-wheeled joy.

    Here it is...

    Zero or Outrageous.

    If it's an okay bike, if I'm not dreaming about it, if I think it's gonna be anything short of blow my bibs off awesome... I got no interest.

    If it's got all the latest and greatest, if it promises to make me super hero, if it's insanely rare, if it calls to me evening and night... now that's something to pry the inner-tube wallet open.

    So my dear purveyor of bikes, show me the best... after all, friends don't let friends ride junk.

    ... and yes, more and more, I find that same formula works for any purchase.

    (That's my buddy Craig's drool-worthy 80's resto with original chrome rims and super-trick 11 speed cassette upgrade)
