So yesterday I was thinking that I totally need to stop thinking about this, and that I didn't feel strongly enough about this project to pursue it. Overnight that changed. The multiplicity of all my feelings about "the bike" which I have had over the last few months have gelled together into a single assemblage.
What I originally considered to be "oh, those are some nice ideas" have come together into a parts list which I feel strongly about. My desire for that specific colour frame, steel, retro flare, and all-road practicality created a significant energy directed towards this.
I also spent a significant amount of time budgeting and figuring out the logistics of acquiring parts with the difficulty of 'rona shortages. Biggest rule is no spending allowed until I know the frame will be in my possession. I have contacted my LBS about ordering one already, fully aware that it make take a couple of months to arrive.
I decided to eat a hot pocket today. Eating hot pockets always destroys my mood and wellbeing. Why do I keep doing this? I know they taste awful, I know they make me feel awful, and I think about how awful they are when I put them in the microwave. I'm hungry, though.
