good or bad idea???

It's all cycling.

Depends what you enjoy. I don't enjoy road riding enough to get an expensive road bike, but the SS pub hack did enable me to keep SOME fitness when I didn't have much time for riding offroad.

Ahhh the joys of waking up with a splitting headache then finding your credit cards next to the computer with a vague memory of bagging a 'bargain' LOL

But seriously why not?

I find road riding is much better than MTB for my fitness and my mountain biking is heaps better as a result of the once or twice a month road hack with my local club

yeah, I'm increasing loving the road bike… the geared mtb is going to feel like a barge by comparison soon!

But the speed, fast handling, fun to be had in traffic… it's all ace! it's all biking 🙂

better than agreeing to buy it whilst sober. Just goes to show the dangers of alcohol. Just say no kids !

when i don't want to think about 'things' – MTB
when i want to thing about 'things' – road bike

oh my life, what have i done 😯

MTFU get the lycra out and go ride fast everywhere

Ah the old "I was pissed" excuse.
Give it a go, you may like it.

Sporticus – buying a road bike is one thing, going out with the road club is very much another!

Go ride fast on some very very boring trails indeed 🙂 Speed is relative I'd remind you.

Last time I woke up with the credit card/laptop/headache trilogy in evidence, not one, but two frames arrived the following week. I was very popular that week 🙂

Could of been worse you could of bought it whilst pissed rode home on it whilst pissed then crashed whilst pissed! At least you have the excuse did I agree to buy the bike as I can't remeber I was pissed! oops you have posted it on here, banged to rights 😆

Get pissed again, try it, hate it, give bike to me 🙂
