my wife runs the accounts and is keen up on what I do in the garage. Buying a new bike is easier said than done. But since there is an overstock of options (for now) for 26 in bikes i’ll just upgrade components as needed. Those mega 9 shifters have seen the better part of a decade, dear. Oh and new shifters new need derailleurs I don’t know why but that’s how it works.
Although what I really need is a new road bike right now something in this century would be nice. But since my champagne taste and beer budge is a problem right now, my friendly LBS and my wife’s consent to utilize it will have to do.
OH and they’re smarter than they let on to be, if they’re not that doesn’t sound like a fun marriage then. different strokes for different folks i guess. I got young kids too and the best thing to do is take them with, unless you’re a bad ass free rider, but a buggy ride is well worth their joy over your shredding it up.
