A Thing of Beauty

Still trying to find a way to justify to the wife about spending 3.5k on a Bike, the phrase “hey babe you know that I am not a professional Cyclist, however what do you think about this bike? Isn't she sweet”? Is just not the right pitch.

Lovely bike so no sympathy
. If you really want to rub it in, every time she ignores you, go out on it for 3 hour rides :twisted: 0 -
"Sweetheart, it's an entry-level bike. They ALL look like this."Making a cup of coffee is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir... gently and firmly. You've got to grind your beans until they squeak.
And then you put in the milk.0 -

Lie, tell her it cost £350. She'll never know unless she checks your bank statements.Justice for the 960

Everyone gets cervelos, for that money you could get a colnago!
You can't turn up to a sportive without tripping over 50 cervelos"I hold it true, what'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost;
Than never to have loved at all."

I told my wife that I would gladly trade her in for a Cervelo!
That bike remains in the realms of fantasy for me and Im sure it will stay that way.0 -
sorry, did someone say 'a thing of beauty'..?
all I can see is a mass-produced carbon frame in a rather dull black/red livery and a collection of off-the-shelf finishing kit.....0 -
Just get it, be a test of your marriage. I did the same thing, spent 3 grand on a litespeed and now me and Mrs dmclite are stronger than ever. 8)0

...and she'll extract revenge at some point in the future, even if she agrees now...

No I'm perfectly aware of that price, just thought that price tag and the bike in the pic cant be true, cant see why that'd be worth 3.5k with ultegra groupset on it.
I think it's a pretty ugly bike too.redddraggon wrote:

...the cable to the rear derailleur looks a little on the long-side to me...
...maybe that's where the extra £3K went.

That works for me. Did you know that the Spec Langster is only £200 and you can get a Garmin 705 Edge (for my road bike, not the Langster) for about £150
She keeps asking to see the card statements now :?0 -
If it's a good idea, go ahead and do it. It is much easier to apologize than it is to get permission.

I wouldn't argue with her.
