At this point, it's one to one...so let's take a poll:

Which bike should I get? Here are the details:

1. The red one is the one I had stolen, and it most likely will cost $170.

2. The blue one is $240.

3. Questions: Would either look poserish?

Since I wear jeans all the time, would the blue make me look washed out?

Finally, which bike defines my essence best?

Ok that's all I can think of right now, except...please don't think I'm neurotic, at least not outside this subject. I seem to get extra analytical and detailed at certain points, and I promise it won't happen too much. God, I feel like I'm in middle school again, with all those in depth discussions about nothing.

alright, here are the links to pictures:
