so, im about to buy a carbon fiber bike with sweetass components (craigslist said 1800 new) for 400 bucks. its been ridden like 10 times.
i just bought the FRAME for my new bike for 400. used. off ebay.
for any of you that dont know about bikes, lance armstrong's bike is made out of carbon fiber. mine is made out of aluminum. mine cost 800 new.
wtf, exactly at the right time. right when im about to buy some entry-level components, someone throws some 200 dollar cranks and 300 dollar wheels at me. the frame alone is at least 800; with a 150 dollar seat. at 155 grams, thats one light seat. it looks like this:
oo, makes my mouth water just looking at it. the one on my bike now is probably like 400 grams. things like this never happen to me. that is, if i can pick it up before i go back on sunday.
shiiiit. money. bikes. bikes cost money. this one doesnt. and my new bike is gonna be a looot nicer than i thought. im guessing ill end up about even financially, plus a new fixie. free bike? fuck yeah. stooooked brah.
shitty mountain bikes and cruisers cost 400 dollars...not a new racing bike.
im just excited, thats all.
the thing is, things like this never work out. i mean, it would be awesome to believe i had a ridiculous stroke of luck, but i wont believe it until the bike is in my hands. lets hope he emails me tomorrow.
