Had two bikes I really loved stolen last weekend* and am kinda at a loss with what to replace them with. I really liked having an aluminum go-fast bike and a steel drink-around-town bike. They were very "deliberate" builds with good shit pieced together from my bike shop days, and I'm too heartbroke (and just normal-broke) to do that now.
I'm gonna get with the times and find some slightly used example of whatever fad I missed in the past ten years of being content. Gravel bike? Klunker? Mini Velo? Mainly riding street, paved bike paths.
Honestly just want my old bikes back
*Langster Steel w/Ritchey&Nitto cockpit, final-year-of-USA mfg CAAD9+i9 wheels+OG Rival 10, stolen in Houston, $500 reward if you find em.
