At least that is what I'll tell my wife when she asks why I bought another bike, LOL! Also, I NEED a frame to hand my spare 11-speed Super Record group on, right?
I picked up Barrettscv's Merckx when he was selling the majority of his bikes last year. Got there too late to get the DeRosa, unfortunately. The Merckx rides beautifully. You probably do need one.
