you ever look over your spare parts in the garage and think: "well if i only had _________ i could build another bike" ?

i was in the garage and saw a few seatposts, handlebars, cranks, wheels, bunch of saddles, stems, cages, bar tape, and countless small parts. i thought: "with a good deal on a frame and used drivetrain, i'd have a pretty nice ride for under $600 - ish....."

what flawed logic....
:crap:

Never enough bikes...never enough time to ride...

Oh yeah. . . .

The last time I was going to build a parts bin bike I rationalized my way into two parts bin bikes (to use up more parts of course).

Yeah, and its a great way to get one past the SO. Just the other day my wife was saying how she had no idea what was in my bike room. Just sneak in another frame, I have another bike built from parts "lying around (in bins)" and she in none the wiser.
