From research stage I am moving into a locating stage for my next bent.
I am set on a Streetmachine by HP Velotechnik. Recent GT or GTe would do nicely.
The problem is that I have champagne taste and beer budget.
Nicely equipped brand new SMGTe tips scales at $6000 - that is more than my several cars worth combined. I am more thinking $2000 and couple years of gentle use.
I think the bikes are out there - in peoples garages and sheds collecting dust and slowly rusting away.
I can promise to give them a good home and ride the hell out of them.
Another option is to buy a base model and over time to upgrade it.
However, most of the times when I got a bike, bike stayed the way it was purchased.
So best is to find as close to the desired bike used and ride ride ride!
