I love my Bontrager Race, and I've only seen a handful in my size come up for sale. Therefore when another one popped up for sale as a frameset, I jumped on it. I've now got two identical (except in colour) frames, one of which will probably sit in a cupboard until I have the space, time and money to build it up.
I've really tied myself in a knot over whether this is a good thing to do - I would be 'better' waiting until something different comes along in my size, but I really do like the Bonty and if it was ever stolen/ damaged I'd be mighty upset, wheras this way I've got a 'spare' in the cupboard. And it was good value - I can certainly get back what I paid for it if it's just gathering dust.
So - fool or wise man, you decide!
