My Achilles heel, both figuratively and literally, is hard tail mountain bikes with sloping top tubes. You know the frame designs with a nearly continuous line connecting the toptube and seatstays. I get suckered in by the simplicity aesthetic. Then I go try to ride some rooty rocky terrain really fast and think "f@ck, I am too old, my ankles can't take this anymore!".
