When I bought my 2002 Alaris, the LBS said it would be the last bike I ever buy... I thought he was nuts.. I figured 5 or 6 years later I would upgrade due to technology.. I never thought that it would be 3 years... Well I did to an Elium SG in June 2005, 34 months after getting the Alaris. This time I went overboard...with Campy carbon Record,Zero Gravity brakes, Easton EC90 stem, bar, seatpost... but went for the Topolino wheels.. and been thinking of upgrading the wheels since.. not that I don't like the Topolino's but Zipps or Bora's, or lightweights sound better.. Geometry is totally different on the Elium vs the original Alaris... Changed the fork, stem and seatpost on the Alaris now to match the geometry of the Elium... sent it to Florida for the winter and it's pretty close. Guess I need to make about 6 trips a winter for about 8 years saving the $50 airline fee each way to make having an Alaris for a 2nd bike worth it.. totally crazy... but hey I gave up deep sea fishing for this.. and now I buy my fresh tuna from the fish store for $12/lb instead for catching it for $40/lb or more..
