Lust or Love ?

Ah yes, the White Industries ENO cranks. The subject of my lusting for a couple of years now. Many mountain bike guys go for the fresh hot new product each year. Me, I’ve never been much of a tech weenie. I want stuff that is aesthetically pleasing, durable as hell, and that doesn’t weigh a ton. But these cranks, they say something to me. They are so simple, so smooth and clean, almost perfect. Smooth lines, light weight, once set up they look so clean. Secretly, I’ve had my eye on these cranks for years. They are so practical, so sexy, so clean, such simple technology. They are just beautiful. They give me goose bumps.

But still, I couldn’t see putting down the coin for something I really didn’t need. The frugal part of me just wouldn’t let me do it. So from a distance, I had a quiet crush on the White Industries ENO crank set. Then last week, sadly my old trusty Race Face cranks broke. After 6 years, they have served me well. What do you know, one door closes, and another opens. And now as sadly I burry my cracked Race Face Cranks, I happily start my new relationship with my ENO cranks. Please to meet you ENO, you with your smooth lines, fine machining, and reliable technology. You complete me. I can’t wait to get these set up on my bike…

And as for my new part lust: The Bontrager Carbon Fiber Switch Blade Fork… So sexy, hey can I get your number, you know in case my current fork breaks up with me or something…
