Shame on you.
You can't just love your bike, you need first to find (not buy) parts to make an old beater, swap them around for better parts, perhaps learn how to build a frame, learn about ratios, bottom bracket sizing and fitting, you need a complete and encyclopedic knowledge of wheel building, what are the best and most applicable tyres and tubes and you will also need to be schooled in the physics of cycling and skidding.
Only then can you love your bike.[/quote]
Ah.... I'll.. er.. I'll get me coat.
