I sometimes find myself sitting there late at night with that SO frame in my basket, and my finger on the mouse... sweating and fidgeting nervously... The ONLY thing that keeps me from pulling the trigger is my old Japanese Nishiki Prestige, which I have set up as a SS... NOT having 2 kids in college, bills up the wazoo, or lack of space in the garage... No, it's having that old SS to simply jump on and pedal (with no shifting) that saves me.
So advice to those who suffer like me... Get yourself an old Japanese frame, convert is to a SS, and hope your willpower holds out... Ultimately I may succumb to my urges, but for now (thank God) my SShiki keeps these impulses at bay....
