Well I sprung for a geared bike... I decided it was time and since I had some dosh scraped together hidden under a mattress for the job I looked around and decided on a older LeMond Zurich.
It's more than my abilities in a way, but it spoke to me and screamed my name. I only wish it would have told me that the headset needed work before I exchanged cash with the previous owner, but after a $115 repair bill it's lesson learned to scrutinize things to a much higher degree than I'm used to doing and adjust the offer to suit the situation with this in mind. Oh well so it goes...
I've got some Crank Bros Quattros on it that I found used and I'm rocking some nice Cannondale shoes I got for 50% off, now I need some spandex to complete my kit... lol!
The Zurich is a different ride than the Kona for sure, it's twitchier and also gives one the feeling of speed. Being a steel frame it rolls pretty smooth and has a nice overall feel to it, I just need to spend some time in the saddle to really get to know it better, kind of like a women...
