I’ve reached the point where I genuinely can’t tell if I like my bike anymore.
On paper, it’s exactly what I wanted. It has quality parts:
Mack Superlight / Lazarus hubs
Easton Monkey Lite carbon bar
SRAM Omnium cranks
35 mm tires
It weighs around 7.7 kg (17 lbs), so it’s not exactly heavy either.
The weird part is… every time I look at it, it just feels kind of boring. I can’t explain why. Nothing seems wrong with it, but it doesn’t give me that “damn, I love this bike” feeling anymore.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just bike-build burnout? Or am I just cooked?
I’d love to hear what you’d change—or if I should just stop overthinking it.
