Recently had a small inheritance, decided it was not enough to get a better bike than I’ve got, so spent it on parts to upgrade my hardtail.
Have now seen a bike I recently rode and enjoyed in the sales for the same amount.
Have also just realised that my lad is now big enough – and riding well enough – to inherit my current hardtail.
D’oh!
Now, I could ‘fess up, get that bike for me, give laddo my old one with a couple of the upgrades, and use the other upgrades (and another sale bike I’ve spotted) to finally give MrsMC a properly sorted bike adapted for her disability.
Except I don’t have the £1500 or so it would cost me, plus the probable divorce costs as well. MrsMC is hoping to throw all our savings and disposable income for the next 3 years at a new car this lunchtime.
Cheer me up with your tales of purchasing stupidity…..
Edit – Well, not stupidity, I didn’t know the bike or the sales would happen.
