Am I that sad..

[thomas]

That I cant choose between a month away with the lads in Thailand or a Spesh S-Works Tarmac frame...

I really dont know what to do and I cant afford both!

Help! What should I do!

I've just spent a month in Vietnam and Thailand. Went down Vietnam and spend a couple of days in Bangkok at the end. If you pick the frame you're stupid

If you do Thailand remember "Khun Pray Chuy" and "Pang Mak Mak". The first means "oh my god", the second translates directly as "expensive very very".

Or for Vietnam "oi zoy oi" (OMG) and "dakwar" (too Expensive) (not spent in Vietnamises).

Don't ask why, but [depending on who you say it to] OMG seems to get some laughs.

Well 2010 frames out soon, so you may be able to pick up '09 frame for less in Jan Sales. Probably £200-£300 off at S-works prices.

Or how about buy now pay later? Or some other form of HP?

See. You can have both.

Live outside of your means like the rest of us

...or maybe this type of frame will tempt you...

It's 'orrible, enough to put you off sex for life. Best option is to get the frame. Why is it holding a Shure SM58 with no cable attached?

 

[Shaun]

Go to Thailand, and with whatever change you come home with, pop into Halfords for a new frame ...

No, seriously, you already know what you really want to do, so just go with that.

... Why is it holding a Shure SM58 with no cable attached?

You mean you looked close enough to see that?

 

[Aperitif]

...it was the practical...

Thomas - Thanks for the heads up and lingo! The idea is apparently to see Cambodia and Vietnam too, apparently.. I know so many friends who have either travelled out there or are still out there and most, okay, all, dont understand why am debating this... I think I need new friends that understand... hehehe!

Admin, your right... A Boardman comp is just the ticket... I do like them! But its not a Spesh... And yes I do, but that is my selfish side.... nothing wrong with that me thinks!

 

[Wigsie]

Nip down to the Staines red light district (there MUST be one) nail a couple of rent boys with dodgy wigs on, get crabs, watch the Top Gear vietnam special and Platoon then buy the spesh!

Job done, everyones a winner!

 

[Wigsie]

Scratch that!

Go with your mates, holiday of a lifetime territory that is! when your married and can't afford/are not allowed to go to thailand with your mates, then fantasise about exotic bike frames.

Or just come back and get the Spesh frame on finance!

 

[Davywalnuts]

Hahaha! Wigsie, they all got closed down around here... some local however... Shhhhh... ;-)

Well, we were all inspired by the Top Gear vietnam special... and luckily, am not a yank! And as for the married and kids malarky, been there, done that, got my fingers burnt and am still paying for it and am only 30! So it all about me! Me me me me me! hahahaha!

Am going to try and do both... its the sensible thing to do! If I can get my sister to be my Bank! hehehe!

 

[Wigsie]

Am going to try and do both... its the sensible only thing to do! If I can get my sister to be my Bank! hehehe!

[Davywalnuts]

The field where my horse is kept is actually the back garden of a house belonging to a lovely man, rapidly approaching his 70s.

He is married to a 19 year old Thai girl and they have a baby, 4 months every year(wintertime)they spend over in Thailand.

But I guess at his age,plus a wife, the delights of Thailand are completely different to the ones which attract you
