I think the total cost came to about ~$1,400. I could've gotten a 10 cog Ultegra equipped bike (I think I almost bought an aluminum/carbon Pinarello) for the same amount... but I would have had to change the handlebars, the seat (ok, I'm probably going to have to change that again, anyway), gotten new pedals, and so forth. And really, it's getting harder and harder to find beautiful steel bikes. The late 90's were kind of a tour de force, or last stand for them... then the whole world seemed to decide that bikes should be molded in carbon. Which is great, but a few things are missing. I'm happy with my toy.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
