Taken the n+1 plunge...

[Pikey]

Well, after a knackering week at work, I broke at lunchtime today and paid the deposit on the next addition to the garage...

Cue guilt, rebound ride on my mtb so it doesn't feel left out and the obligatory derisory comments from my mtb friends on buying a road bike.

Then cue massive excitement at the prospect of the eventual century and a bloke at work suggesting a lejog at some point. All with the mtb waiting for when its time for the filth.

The two sets of feelings are roughly balanced for now...

Just got to let the mrs know before i pick it up tomorrow, erm...

Gosh.. a beaut!

So you don't think the "I won it in a raffle" excuse will work then?

So you don't think the "I won it in a raffle" excuse will work then?

Just tie an old raffle ticket to it.. that'll fool her.

 

[Pikey]

That is true wisdom there.

Whenever i buy bike bits ..... Use her words .... It was on SALE

I had my last new bike delivered when she was away in Spain!

The only way she noticed was because there was an extra bike in the garage. If it had been a one in one out scenario she would never have noticed.

Well done. Road bikes are the best way to boost fitness, so when out MTBing with your mate, you'll kill him uphill. Ha ha.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

tis a slippery slope. n+1 leads very quickly to n+2...

 

[Pikey]

Well it's tucked away now in the back room until her indoors gets back...

Fossyant, that seems sense, the guy in the shop said the same thing, lets hope so anyway! Lol.
