it doesn't make sense to keep and store bikes I ride less and less over

Sugino XD Triple = $119. Rene Herse $440. Difference = $321. That is a
huge difference. Remember, it wasn't that long ago that everyone was
touting the XD as a really good crank. IMO it still is, not saying the
Herse isn't better. But think about it -- $321 more. That can buy a

Most of the time that's evidence of something being priced wrong or
