I just did a full strip and rebuild of my bike and decided that, despite having no spare cash, I needed new brake pads and new jockey wheels for my rear mech...
So I went online and thought 'Ill just chuck this on the credit card, 30 quid at most'. But I got excited and now, on the way there is:
New Centaur red&black rear mech
4 brake pads
2 new water bottles
2 Schwalbe Ultremo ZX tyres
and a pair of Shutt VR Roubaix bib-knicks
Ooops. How do I explain this one?

My dad replaced nothing with a brand-new red, white and black Campagnolo jacket a while ago. Mother asked "Is that a new jacket?". Dad replied "No, I've had it for ages!", and that was the end of it! Hehe

You realise you have a problem when you start hiding unnecessary bike purchases at work so the Missus won't find them....
