    Meant to be a good frame, I would buy it if I were you.

    You can buy the bike.....you just have to lavish her with gifts as a distraction. (Only a few hundred quid, like....... 8) )

    I'm sure your partner will love it. Or are they the really high maintenance kind?

    Seriously, isn't there a single soul who has any bad experience about the Ti Sportive (or even Ti Pro Road) frame?

    No help from me, got mine in a box at home, can't wait to get the bits together to build it. Ridiculous offer, could not be ignored, only cost more in the long run, you would be mad not to, Ti will last for ever so cheaper than not buying it, probably get divorced anyway and if she is off over spending £700 (when her engagement ring prob cost loads more than that) you are better off looking for the second Mrs TimoH...

    You're marriage will be fine, tell her she's lucky as you nearly bought a Serotta or Seven.
