How did you manage that?
Because if the answer's 'I lived in Dubai' then, like, duh.

This!
Sorry for the confusion.
DDD, if I take two beans, and add these three beans, how many beans do I have?
So you assume I earn less than £4k gross salary. Why?
That seems awfully presumptuous of you.Food Chain number = 4

That's what I want, but it depends how much they are and if they come in a geometry / size that suits me (I'm an odd shape), hence I'm looking at getting a Civica Bryant Alfine from the US as an alternative. Same configuration / set-up just with a steel frame instead of Ti.Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX

Fewer beans than DDD?0 -
I don't think I'd buy a bike, I think I'd be more likely to buy ferry tickets somewhere and take the rest as cold hard cash for lovely food while on a cycle tour. Or maybe a kayak.
But if I HAD to buy a bike, it'd be a 'bent.
I really want one of those.0 -

Funnily enough (given the folder talk), I'm really starting to like the look of Moultons so might be tempted to spend my £X thousand extra month's salary on that (where X is a real number between zero and infinity rather than a Roman numeral).
And that increasing fondness for Moultons worries me - an awful lot of amoney (the most expensive one is £14k!) for a bike which looks like a folder but doesn't have the practical advantage of actually being able to fold. WTF?
I saw a youtube clip of some Japanese guy riding one of the drop bar touring versions - looked surprisingly good.Never be tempted to race against a Barclays Cycle Hire bike. If you do, there are only two outcomes. Of these, by far the better is that you now have the scalp of a Boris Bike.0 -

You don know how much racing kayaks don't cost don't you? I sold mine about 3 weeks ago for £150 with paddles. It was an old design but solid enough. The reg changed a few years ago so there will be a load of the old spec boats going cheap.Saracen Tenet 3 - 2015 - Dead - Replaced with a Hack Frame

I don't think I want a racing one, I think I'd like a touring one... but hey if they're £150 I'll take a racing one too!0 -

Tourers seem more expensive.

Racing is way cool though.
That up there is the worlds most awesomest pedalo ever! :shock:Saracen Tenet 3 - 2015 - Dead - Replaced with a Hack Frame

the pedalling action is more effective than any of the water based movements in terms of speed, so interestingly, it is theoretically possible to build a pedalo with a couple of hydroplanes that can keep the hull completely out of the water :shock:0

Now that would be a commute: up to Putney, down the slipway and along the Thames, skimming past all the land-based SCR'ers on the Embankment with a cheery "Morning!".
