I've got a week left at work, and that means a week left to buy a bike on the cheap.
I don't need a new bike. I like my hardtail a lot, but the Zesty 314 is beckoning and I feel inclined to buy it as I will save so much money. On the plus, if I don't like it, I can sell it easily and recoup my money. However (and a lot of people must have felt this), I really don't want to resent my hardtail. I will feel terribly, terribly guilty if I don't ride it as much, which would make me sad. Is this normal?
Then again, I could buy a road bike, which I don't currently have, but same again, I don't need the bike.
If I don't buy one, I have missed an opportunity, and I know I will regret it next year. I was planning to buy one on the cheap about march next year, but obviously circumstances have meant I am now leaving work now, instead of then.
So... to buy or not to buy... what would you do?
Well you know you're going to get the answer you are looking for here. 😉
BUY BUY BUY
If I wanted it and could afford it then yeah I'd buy, but then I don't have any weird emotional attachments to my current bikes...

no, you'll just have spent a bit less...
I take it you work in a bike shop?

yeah, quite a big one..!
I guess I knew the response would be quite biased, perhaps that is what I wanted 🙂 However, go for another mountain bike (140 travel, AM), or a roadie - something which I am not currently 'into'. With winter coming up, roadie is sensible, however I know with a Zesty I would happily hop on a plane to the alps next summer!
Good point on the saving, it's still a heck of a lot of money, but has such a large amount off.
@rob - lol? link was kinda random.
