I just want a bike that doesn't break when I ride it.

Good luck. I don't think there is such a thing, is there?

I have always wanted to buy a old Paramount 564 and build it up with modern components. I found one in NYC but the guy wanted way to much money for it. It was a 54 also. He also had a Ritchey P-51 which I have always wanted.

I need them like I need my cocaine. What is so hard to understand?

I had a Stingray (with a regular saddle and riser bars) and could wheelie all the way down the street and around the cul-de-sac. Next bike was a real BMX bike. Could never wheelie like that again. It was so easy to find the balance point on that clunker Stingray and not have to pedal harder to keep the front from dropping.

I had friends who had Stingrays, but I rode a department store three speed and lusted after a Raleigh. A friend had a back yard track.

my wife was going to join a yoga gym, but then she discovered that she has access to all the same routines via youtube

Part of going to the gym is that she is pretty much forced to do it. When you have it available 24x7 with no limit, you aren't as dedicated to it. Also, the minute she starts that, it would be harder to justify the bikes.
