Have I overstepped the mark?

[Terry Kay]

I picked up the MTB after winning it pretty cheaply on eBay last November no problems..
I felt a little bad ordering the Schwalbe Road Cruiser tyres, but after realising how much easier it made the commute I felt better..
I felt bad then winning the Saracen road bike on eBay.. But it is such a beautiful machine and makes the commute that much easier I felt better..
I felt bad ordering the various tools and accessories.. But they've all come in handy..
I felt bad ordering the light weight saddle.. My old one looked so much nicer! But the new one is actually more comfortable..
I now feel really really bad having spent nearly as much as the new bike cost on a set of Mavik Aksiums that are being delivered tomorrow and I'm in 2 minds whether to send them back!

Where do I draw the line?

When the shed is full of bikes...... and you're considering a bigger shed

Don't feel bad just enjoy the rides and consider the cost well spent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You stop when the wife finds out just how much you have spent, mine has just realised how much i have had to spend (really did need all the parts honest) and so now in the dog house for a few days ...

Think of it in these terms. Every female I have ever known ( this is just my experience I'm sure not EVERY one is the same) simply NEEDS those new shoes and handbag. There is never any doubt about it!! Hehe as long as you are getting use of them then be happy guilt free and enjoy!

Only feel bad when you don't cycle.

I rationalise most things before I buy them... and then don't buy them. It's so much easier and the money comes in handy.

Thanks guys, some sound advice there courier was just pulling up as I got back from the school run.. Out came one seriously large box! I strained myself ready to pick it up.. Light as a feather! Seriously sexy wheels.. Stuck the rim tape on and just standing next to the bike, it looks so much better! Think that's my mind made up.. Just need to get to the LBS for some Schwalbe Utremos and a spacer... Will be sure to sort some before and after pics..

And make sure to put the invoice "somewhere safe"!
