    ...there is nothing better in this world than a new bike :D ...it take months before a new bike feels right, and feels like my bike...bought a new one last year, feels like mine now. Over the years I have found they need a lot of breaking in...

    enjoy your new bike bonk man... :D 8)
    ...all the way...'til the wheels fall off and burn...

    idaviesmoore it was the credit card bill that made you feel sick and the feeling that you couldn't quite justify to yourself and others having such a swanky machine so had to go back to riding some peasant persons steel frame :twisted: :wink::lol:

    no man, i was hoping u were gettin a rans stratus (recumbent), anyways hav a good time with it. & see if u can accidently shred ur wife's credit card or just put in it in a blender :D why not get a debit card?

    Cheaper to do it on the credit card at 0 % as long as it gets paid off fairly rapidly which it will as I was owed a fair chunk and have some photo work this summer.. Try and keep the debit card in the black so the swine bankers can't get any money out of you :D

    What on earth would I want a recumbent for :P ...... can't see over the hedges and we have a lot of hedges round here :D
