Should I buy this bike?

[slowmotion]

Is n+1 not the rule here?

I don't know when the n+1 rule kicks in. A friend said that I was well overdue after three years. He said I was quite "monk-like". I scorned his reckless thoughts of extravagence.........

..................until now......

The n+1 rule kicks in as soon as you buy your first bike surely

If you are getting it from Wiggle, they only have the X-small in those colours.

I think my bank account was voided by Spa Cycles a couple of minutes ago. "Old man tart colours, Large frame size"

Thank you all for your encouragement.

Can I hitch on to your jerseys when you pass me , swiftly, on a gentle hill?

Great choice! I was tempted by the same bike in the same colour scheme (yes, I AM an old git) but wanted to buy a bike I'd actually seen & sat on so ended up going for the Cube Peleton Pro. Equally flashy but perhaps in a modern way? Anyway, I love it.

Very nearly my my first new bike for 25 years this year, but my beloved 'persuaded' me to go for the full carbon I know a couple of lads ride these and they are happy with their choice a good bike and you won't see too many other Cinellis on the road giving it an air of exclusivity. Nice sporty frame angles too. (I did upgrade the wheels before purchase on my Cinelli)

Good point, and that answer is is there room in the shed for it?

if there isn't room in the shed there is always room in the house (doesn't always go down well though)

Not in the shed, but I have a large workshop/office with a very tall ceiling made of concrete. There is already one bike on a £6 Lidl bike hoist, and I can easily bolt another one up there. Bike number One always lives in the hall at home.
Mrs slowmotion has not been told of my reckless purchase yet, but two bikes in the hall might not be completely welcome.

What a lovely bunch you are! Thank you. All I have to do now is try and survive without a granny ring. I hear they do a Veloce cassette with 29 teeth
