I think my over enthusiastic interest in all things cycling is turning me into a hoarder, i've already filled the garage with bikes and bike stuff now i've almost completely filled a double wardrobe with cycling clothing much of which is unopened.

:?

So much Rapha & Castelli so little time to use

DAMN these sales
Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    The Imelda Marcos of cycling?
    I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.

    You sound like the missus when she comes home with another pair of shoes that will inevitably end up on ebay as "New with tags" in 12 months time; "but they were in the sale"...

    :P

    I'm afraid you have a serious case of Too Much Spare Cash. Help is available - just set up a direct debit to me (we'll start at a conservative dose of £200/month) and very soon your symptoms will disappear.

    The man's got Rapha Syndrome - that dose is WAAAAY too low to be effective...

    As you can prob tell from my other threads today I have my eye on a ball crushingly expensive completely undeserved needed or justified object of every MAMILs desire :roll:

    I found still in the bag a pair of Castelli full summer bib tights, FFS I already have two identical pairs - might have been on sale in 2009 :oops:

    I cant bring myself to throw the older stuff out even the smelly hats & gloves

    I had to have a big clear out and I still found things I had hardly worn and my parts bin is growing larger and larger and I am having to find ingenious places to hide wheels etc
