Oh my I am in the pooo again 
but doing a shed load of decorating before my crime was discovered softened the reaction I think
I bought a Cotic Soul and sold my 456 without telling the fun police but today I got caught with the evidence in the shed
I was amazed she could tell the differance between a 456 and a Soul
Perhaps the 456 being dark blue and the Soul being orange might of been a pointer.
Perhaps my SO aint so daft after all
Time to call the forth emergancy service
LOL like me you think they know nothing but my wife
knows every part on my bike.
this is why all your bikes should be one colour
Just deny it, blame it on the "Paint Fairies"
I just tell the wife if I'm buying something.
lol, last time I did this I got the same colour and it was a month before she noticed when I was fettling in the dining room, the conversation went-
"oh yeah how much did that cost"
"£50"
"bull***t"
next time we went to the bike shop she was looking all over for a yeti 575
Perhaps the 456 being dark blue and the Soul being orange might of been a pointer.
D'you reckon, yeah?

Women have 27 different words for pink, dumbass 
shouldn't be a problem. souls have a lower wife price than 456s don't they.
she should be happy that you've made a few bob by trading the 456 in.
Why did you let your wife into the shed?

It's a revolutionary idea, but that's what I do too.
Seems to keep me out of bother quite well.

Well, yes. But I like a little mystery in my marriage, and it's more fun this way.

So do I, thats why I let her cook now and again.
Don't hide anything from her, bike stuff or not. She's not interested really as long as I keep paying money into the bank to cover bills/living costs
I could pull any bike in the world out of the shed & as long as it was white she wouldn't have a clue.
I bought a Colnago road bike last year without telling the boss, she noticed it after about 3 seconds! They don't miss much. Tried to say it was £500 off eBay which she believed briefly then somehow found out it was really about 15 times that. She was more bothered that I never told her the truth rather than the money spent.
Is the emasculated males anonymous? Time to grow some.
Has anyone ever thought that while they're pulling the wool over their partner's eyes, their partner is doing the same to them in this loving relationship that's built on trust?
I waited until the day after my wife had just had a Caesarean, then accidentally went via the bike shop and bought a new cross bike on my way to Tesco with her list of stuff.

I'd be more pissed off that you spent £7500 on a Colnago. Presumably money's not really an issue if you're spending that sort of change, so I really don't get why you'd lie!

But you are in Essex !
Mrs Gti would encourage me to buy whatever I want that's bike related, it gives her carte blanche to spend family money on boots and shoes.
My missus bought me a Porsche 993 when i was swithering about it ! That to me was someone who was comfortable with me possibly mentioning that I might want a new bike 
I've bought 20 new motorbikes in the past 3.5 years.... my missus has given up caring now
I get most of my stuff delivered to work then stealth it home to the shed.
In 5 years its only been visited once and that produced an exclamation to do with the tidiness of the shed compared to the house ...
Get rid of the wife.
mrs_oab and I tell each other such buys and share a bank account. It seems to work OK.
I buy bike stuff & the girlfriend buys shoes & bags.
We have a deal that she doesn't ask me how much it cost if i don't ask her how much that new Lulu Guinness bag cost.............how much? You could buy a set of forks for that!!!!!!!!!!
Think were about equal then
My wife knows exactly how much my next bike costs, she's paying for it.
You should have left a half-used tin of orange emulsion on the side and just pointed to that when she noticed the colour change.
I just bought my wife a Turner Flux. Her bike's worth a lot more than mine
I'm struggling to understand why swapping one bike for another is an issue even if you do have a SO who's bothered about you acquiring more bikes.

MRsBouy has a mighty fine attention to detail eye like you wouldn't believe. I bought a scarf and a matching black flat cap (to wear backwards BTW) the other day and she pulled me up on it saying "that cap has an interesting detail on it, not like your other ones" I didn't even notice the detail.. So things like this I learned early on, don't ever hide anything.
Honesty is most definetly the best policy, never hide, be open and honest, if shes doesn't like it, tough.
I thought this was going to be a follow on thread to the one that got deleted Saturday morning. It had potential to be epic but I guess it was sailing pretty close to the wind
