It's almost here!

I have just checked my emails and found that Planet X mailed me yesterday to advise that my Pro Carbon has been built and despatched.

It will be delivered today and is out with the courier as I type.

My good lady still doesn't know I've ordered it yet, or that she may now be waiting an extra month or two for the new kitchen because I've spent some of the money.

Could be a bit quiet tonight in our house, but still A NEW BIKE

You're a brave man as men have died for less.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sight-pin]

You could always say, It's a gesture of goodwill from the kitchen company to soften the delay

I have been threatened with divorce if another bike appears and C2W is about to start again , i mean 3 bikes is surely not enough ?

I agree; 4 is the bare minimum.

Mount it on the wall like I did. If the missus complains, point out as I did that she said "You're not mounting two bikes on the wall!" Sorted.

Only problem with Mrs Kes would arise if there wasn't also a smaller version for her........

I agree; 4 is the bare minimum.

5 surely;I have tried this though and so far it hasn't worked as I have been 'told' that if another bike arrives one of the other has to go.

I enter a lot of competitions and and had a few small wins, I have often wondered if this kind of subterfuge would work..... Obviously though its all about trust in a relationship and I would never actully do something like this..... or do I mean

I never see an issue in being honest from the start, but then I am an open book, so wouldn't work if I had a different mentality.
