Looking hard at this bike. Love the green as well. Are the spoked wheels more trouble than they are worth? This will be a road bike only for me.

How many helmets do we really need (want)?

Just got a sweet Bell Star carbon. Got a great EBay deal on a Nexx Carbon. Now looking for a Neotec. Anybody else have my problem? I need a 12 step program. Or maybe I need 12 helmets.
