Yeah, I sold my Lexus this week and spent nearly all of the sale proceeds on a bicycle. The pedal kind.
Now, said Lexus was a 1994 I've owned for more than a decade, it was hit in a parking lot last year and I made nearly $3k from insurance on that, and it sold for $900. I travel quite a bit and I have been wanting a versatile travel bike for a while now; a bike that can do fast road rides yet have room for cyclocross tires and be sturdy enough for some off-roading.
I bought a Surly Straggler frame; it's basically a disc brake "all rounder" bike that can take fat or skinny tires, has provisions for fenders and racks, and it's steel so I can send it off to Bilenky and get S&S couplers installed for airline travel. I have a titanium S&S coupled frame now; it's been all over the world but doesn't have enough room for fat tires or provisions for disc brakes. It'll go up for sale when I'm satisfied the Surly will do the job; that should make the whole deal a wash.
I'm excited about the new bike but there's nobody to tell here at work.. so you all get to hear about it. :-)
