I agree with Herzlos , just clean the bike up and sell it. If that's what you want to do...

Before you sell your current bike, though, you might want to shop around and see what's currently available. There's plenty of horror stories of people putting money down last fall to buy a bike this spring, that haven't been delivered yet. That leaves you with looking at what's in stock near you to try one or a few bikes out, or drooling over web pages for weeks to -- well, to see how well the creative writing geniuses have been recruited into writing web pages. Lighter, stiffer but vertically compliant; all the standard buzzwords rearranged into something that may or may not have any link to reality.

Can you still ride your current bike? If so, pump the tires up and go ride it. Being on the bike is going to be much more satisfying than staring at a screen.
