Is it been jealous?

[Milzy]

So I said to work colleague, I want another year or so out of my bike then I’m going to get a TCR SL. He said well you may as well apply for a racing license then because you don’t need a bike like that.
I often see overweight mamils on Penerellos but I don’t have a problem with that.

It's up to you. Stuff anyone else's opinion.

This covers it perfectly, you may as well close the thread now.

Your money so buy what you want

 

[TVC]

Buy whatever bike you want, but not a Specialized obviously.

He’s not cool enough, I agree.

Buy what you want. The more expensive the better. Always worth paying a little extra to annoy others.

Get BC silver cover for a year and that will get you a temporary race licence . Its worth the money just to shut the idiot up

I bet the self same nodder that gave you that advice would jump at the chance of a Ferrari, even though he's not a racer.

We all buy things we dont need. We buy things we want. As does your collegue.

Your mate would p1ss himself if he saw me on my Cervelo R5........and it wouldn’t bother me one jot

(I’m 61, overweight, look stupid in Lycra, wheeze when riding up anything steeper than a 5% incline, average 13 mph and just love cycling).

Get your new bike and have fun.

That just about sums up nearly all of us
Ride what floats ya boat is my philosophy

 

[biggs682]

We are all different so you ride what you want its not all about hurtling along at full speed , slow down and see the things others don't

Must have more money than sense is a line many on this forum use. Which to me often smacks of jealousy.

LOL I think I might just do that
