Maybe if I had spare parts sitting around, like some of youse.

I love that Langster. There is a frame for sale on ebay for like $450 and it is my size...
Not enough color.

Wife got her flu shot a couple weeks ago and I took the kids for their shots yesterday; I need to make an appointment for myself before I forget again.

I also have this problem. I don't foresee a new bike for a long time. My wife is at her limit.
