I'm not ready to drop 2 large

on a road bike.

My Trusty Trek 400 broke a spoke over the weekend. Wheel not repairable, replacement $80, plus $30 for a new cassette and $20 for a chain. Basically $150 and the shop tried to talk me out of it for an 18 yr old bike. It seems to me to run great.

Well, I looked a a few bikes and the one that appealled to me was $2100, except I don't want the carbon frame. I'd rather put the extra dollars into improved gear, than 1 lb in frame.

Geez, this is worse than my Porsche addiction.
