In the 1990s I would take maybe 2-3 weeks to make the decision to buy a bike.
Marin Palisades.....a few months of measuring, prevaricating, indecision.
Marin Rocky Road.....couple of weeks
Klein Pinnacle...maybe a month
Lots of reading of reviews. Lots of discusson with friends. Grab a catalogue from somewhere.
Hrrrrr.
Hummm.
Dither dither.
Decision.
Recently saw a Stanton ti frameset advertised secondhand with Pikes. Saw it. Pressed the button.....maybe.........20 seconds later.
No obviously conscious thought. .
See it. Buy it.
Maybe when you get THIS old you just know when something is right.
