Well, yes, it did cross my mind. I even looked into putting road bars on it but decided against it. Later if I find I don't ride the bike much, I could probably sell it without a problem in EU where I ride bike to some budding young TT wannabe and likely break even, maybe even make something.
But that's what was available at the time and I fell in love with the looks of the bike and while it is used, it is almost mint condition for ten year old. And the price was right also.
Now when I rode it few times, it is clear I didn't buy some lemon. That needs some luck in most purchases and I believe now I had it. The bike can't have too many miles on it, all original parts from manufacturer.
BTW I found it takes some skill or would you call it discipline, to keep straight line when down in armrests. It is easy to relax and start weaving.
