    If I have learned one thing it's ingenious ways of getting bike purchases past the missus (this is some weird role reversal)

    I end up buying stuff and putting it straight in the shed as she has no idea whats in there!

    Like frames and wheels and stuff - if she knew just how much I spent would be up sh*t creek without a paddle

    we don't have a joint bank account (thank ye Gods - would never get away with it otherwise) so I make the money up in other ways over time.....

    I have zero chance of slipping any purchases past 'er indoors without her noticing - luckily she is nearly as big a kit freak as me though!

    We do have a joint bank account - I just talk her to death about the stuff I'm getting, she eventually gives in and just tells me to get it just so I'll stop going on about it.

    Meh! I have seperate bank accounts/Credit Cards blah blah blah! It's just that I'd need to justify the expenditure to myself.

    I'm in a bit of a quandry, do I get some uberlightweight forks for the XTC, convert the road bike to 10spd or get a lightweight FS XC Race Frame?

    I can reasonably justify the expenditure on one of those items.

    but does not one of the family need a replacement frame?

    Kick stomp .... well they do now!

    hand me downs are great.

    El Cap - personally I would go with Option C = new FS XC frame (because nothing is as satisfying as getting a new frame!) :wink:

    Your body will thank you for the FS XC frame, you can upgrade the rest later. You may not get another chance at the frame. Buy it !

    Maybe you would be interested in the Giant Anthem that is for sale in the classifieds?

    If it was just the frame I'd be more interested.

    My XTC is my pride and joy :wink: The Anthem is being wasted and I fancy a Trance X.

    So many decisions...
