all lost in the super market

fisher high fi

bike shopping is a bitch!

not sure what I want
not sure how I want to do it

am thinking about getting a new bike
do I need a new bike?
no...
but I could bump a few bikes out and bump a few bikes in
get rid of some stuff and win the lottery

trying to figure out how to afford this
while trying to figure out what is most affordable

the surly karate monkey has served me well
got me into the 29er world
now thinking of moving around within the world of the 29er
would like to get a fork for my single
but... rather than getting fork for the karate monkey
I am thinking of getting bike 29er single with front shock

was stoked on the jamis exile
looks like it is kitted out real nice
but... my hesitation
it comes stock with a rigid fork
I want suspension in the front
I have been rocking the rigid single
will continue to rock the rigid single
but... looking to try the single with suspension

a fork alone is a great deal of money....

the fisher rig has the rock shock reba and is under 1200
the jamis exile is a grand without shock
retail... well...
the bikes just do not match up
a smarter man would go part for part on that comparision
while I am going blind

I think a karate monkey single built up is more expensive than either
and that is without the gucci package

I am troubled
maybe I need to follow that sage advice and put my old records on eBay
that will be a big project
but it may be a project that could pay off
pay off in bicycles
