For some reasons, I came across the sale receipts of my bikes this morning and looked at the dates;
_ Specialized Allez 2011.
- Cube Peloton 2015.
- Specialized Roubaix Elite 2017.
- Trek Domane 3 2021.
Can you see a pattern developping here ?
If there is, it will not happen again as I am not buying another bike in the future, too old now. :laugh:

I support your ending of endless bicycle purchasing...

I think of cycling differently. A bicycle will last me until the frame is unsafe to ride through rot or breakage. I have spent probably £600 on cycling entirely on the past 2 years and that includes 2 bike acquisitions and one of them was an Elephant bike. I get all the enjoyment and practical use i need.

Each to their own, naturally...

Yeah, yeah... I have said I am never going to drink too much again (several times), after a particularly bad hangover.... but... somehow... it happens again ;)

Never say never but I do have a problem. Mrs P has never questioned the price of my bikes...........until a few weeks ago when she said "Next time you want a bike we discuss the price first." No idea where this came from.

I don't think I can justify a new bike now as my Cervelo and Kinesis cover all bases. I will buy an ebike if or when I reach a point when I need one.

I mean it, no more new bikes for me, besides, I would need to extend my shed to fit another one. In any case, four is enough to choose from when I go out. 😄

Pah, that's just buyers remorse, you'll be checking out gravel bikes by 2023.
