Some guy on Gumtree was selling the old custard colour 853 Inbred with slidey dropouts, with mavic on hope wheels.

She saw it, phoned man, bought bike, phoned me. An unusual order of things...

I don't understand how this pertains to n+1 if +1 is her fault. That's four 853 hardtails in the shed.

Cheers love.

Does she have a sister? Ideally with lots of money, low self esteem and father figure issues?

Was it larger than you usually ride in a subliminal longing way?

Presumably that's the one in Edinburgh. I spotted it too. Seems like a bargain

I'm getting ahead of myself, we get married in a month. I reckon she reckons making me happy means I'll forget about things. She's practising being the wife.

So, in the spirit of interminable husbandry, I'm off to plan how I can sneak that new Bfe 26" in next month.... whatsit, "a wife receipt"?

No sister but you can have her Kona Cindercone she wants to ride, but leaves in the shed. That one, I bought for her. IRONING DEH IS.

Edit:it is the Edinburgh one. He text the missus to say he had a Prince Albert too if I was interested. Must be off here, weirdo....

Prince Albert 853 Classic frame (2012) Medium in Red. Straight steerer 1 1/8th. Been in the wrapping since I bought it. Was going to be a spare parts build just wondering whether I might rather build up a used Soul of same vintage instead. Value ? email in profile.

Better hope that prince Albert is stainless and not 853

Sounds like you owe her dinner.

Contrary to popular belief many wives are actually the women you chose to spend the rest of your life with, as a result they are people that like you and you should in return like them too.

No need for 4 handrails personally, but I loan them out to family & friends, constantly swap stuff over etc etc.

I have no need for a full sus or a road bike right now! So, yeah, I like options.

She gets the jokes like me. Just now she mentioned we should get matching trannies for the Europe trip.
