Ha! ATM I have 3 bikes, my HUSBAND has 0! Mind you the kids between them have 12...
We were going out for a ride, she asked me to get her bike out for her and when I asked "which one" she discovered she'd forgotten she had two.
So I'm sure I can manage to forget how many I have if there's ever an awkward moment.
A friend of mine keeps his new bike in the back of his works van. It never leaves the back of the van when the van is at home as funnily enough, why would she go in there...?
It's fair to say that having met her, he does what he's told when he's told, and that an unapproved new bike purchase would mean a likely divorce!
Also goes some way to explaining why he's so bloody quick on a bike, as he's always got to be home by a pre-approved time from any ride!
Wasn't it Brant in the early On-One days who when you placed an order for a bike would send you a letter saying "Congratulations, you have won a bike. Just tell us what size and we'll send it to you". You showed it to your wife and he sent you the bike. Win!
I'm not sure it was standard practice, but yeah, I heard about that.
Does ctbm offer this? I have my eye on one of those slack 29r frames....
Bike consolidation saw me saying bye to an Enduro and a Ti hardtail for one Blur. It also saw me saying bye to my Hybrid and my Allez and saying hi to a Croix de Fer.
2 bikes!
That lasted a few months and recently, I've bought a cheapo road bike (£200 from Halfords) for Turbo duties and a full on DH bike for uplift days.
Mrs coolhandluke just accepts it as long as I pay.
My missus thinks n=5 at present, she's wrong of course, it's currently a transitional 7, plus three more frames...
I don't think she even notices the different paint jobs anymore, the variety of paint schemes acts as it's own sort of camouflage...
rscott - how about this tattoo? 😉
