Conflict Sucks

Its snowing again. Looks like we'll get a good couple of inches this time, and its sticking. Rode the Easton again in all its tricked out glory. Only headache is that my headlamp mount won't tighten down enough to keep the lamp in position. Stupid carbon fiber bars. That small issue not withstanding, the Easton is a pretty sweet ride, especially in the snow and on the trail. Which is the problem. I had thought to sell it in order to finance either a crossbike or a purpose built fixie from Bianchi, IRO or NYCbikes. Now I am not so sure I want to part with it and all its uselessness most of the year. Good mountain biking exists in the Midwest, but has to be driven to from my domicile. I know that the day after I sell it I will meet some nice woman who knows of some sweet single track and wants to go on a ride. So now I am conflicted. The Easton rocks, but sits idle most of the year, taunting me with memories of Galbraith, while I continue to ride the Red Trek, with its creaking bottom bracket, battered front wheel and shredded paint. Insert expletive of choice here.
