Want new bike
Have box of exceptional, well curated parts to put on new bike
Trouble is I had the perfect bike made
So now rationalising any new bike is impossible
Do need something with gears tho
But gears look ugly
Motivation to buy bike with gears is low
Two issues combined means can’t conceptualise a different bike
All the bikes on insta do not look as good as my current bike
Don’t want discs
Don’t want 29r
Don’t want 650b
Don’t want 26r
Do I even want 700?
Maybe 35?
32?
Not 40s
It’ll all just ride like all the other 4130 frames I’ve sold and not enjoyed
Unlike this perfect bike I had made
Maybe a clone of this bike with gears?
But this bike was worse with gears
Should just sell the spare parts
Be done
By myself a Rick bomber and eytys blade boots with the proceeds
Look hot
Ride the big bike in them
