Ok, I am a bit loath to post this given some of the abuse I've received on here for suggesting it's ok to spend lots of money on a bike I've if you have it, but
25 years ago I took out an endowment mortgage, it turned out to be crap like all of them, but luckily my life had moved on so at least I don't need it to pay off the mortgage it was originally tied to since it would have spectacularly failed!
Anyway, my wife (wonderful person she is) has said why not spend some of it on a new bike which has made me very happy.
Thing is while we all drool over really expensive kit, we don't often get the opportunity to buy it, so what should I buy?
A full bike or a box of bits, and if so what?
I have 3k to spare and would like a slightly more relaxed bike due to my back, I like the trek domane but it's not available until October, but I'd like some alternatives?
I know there are such things as the specialised roubaix etc, but what else? Anything unusual?
I'm 6'3" so it needs to come in at least a 60 or 62 frame
