Excessive?

Being an avid cyclist, I am prone to periodic binges of bike porn, and one particular rig that has held my obsession over the past few months is the Moonlander by Surly bikes out of Minneapolis.  As I live in Chicago, such a behemoth as the Moonlander would be rather impractical for riding the city streets.  But I frequently fantasize about rumbling through rutted, winding wooded trails, rolling over stumps, rocks, and furry forest creatures small and large. I will file the Moonlander away for that inevitable time in the next few years when I finally flee this land of steel and concrete for a more pastoral locale.

Perhaps the Moonlander is a bit excessive.  Then again, we do live in the same country where this is available.
