Spending $1100 on a bike is not crazy if it is something you like to do. I race mountain bikes for fun. I have a full suspension one that cost $4500. But, when I'm not on it, it's either in the house, or locked down VERY well in the back of my truck. It's not the ppl at the races I don't trust, it's the ppl in the neighborhood. Keep on biking...
