    Go for it. Just change the 'e' on the end to an 'o' with a bit of tippex to make it sound a bit Italian - 'Cannondalo' sounds suitably groovy and Pinno will think its ace.

    My caad12 was over a grand new, with the shite hubs. That sounds like A bargain as long as it's not trashed.

    Soul - a variety of definitions.

    1. the principle of life, feeling, thought, and action in humans, regarded as a distinct entity separate from the body, and commonly held to be separable in existence from the body; the spiritual part of humans as distinct from the physical part.
    2. the spiritual part of humans regarded in its moral aspect, or as believed to survive death and be subject to happiness or misery in a life to come:
    arguing the immortality of the soul.
    3. the disembodied spirit of a deceased person:
    He feared the soul of the deceased would haunt him.
    4. the emotional part of human nature; the seat of the feelings or sentiments.
    5. a human being; person.
    6. high-mindedness; noble warmth of feeling, spirit or courage, etc.
    7. the animating principle; the essential element or part of something.
    8. the inspirer or moving spirit of some action, movement, etc.
    9. the embodiment of some quality:
    He was the very soul of tact.
    10. (initial capital letter)Christian Science. God; the divine source of all identity and individuality.
    11. shared ethnic awareness and pride among Black people, especially Black Americans.
    12. deeply felt emotion, as conveyed or expressed by a performer or artist.
    13. soul music.

    What you mean is whether you like a particular piece of machinery or not, whether it moves you, stirs your "soul" - as per definition 4 above. A collection of components, however well designed, or aesthetically pleasing, does not have a soul.

    Yes, people do edge away from me at parties, or look over my shoulder for someone less tedious to talk to. ;)
