So it's my 30th in April and me and partner have booked a 8day guided tour to Morocco for my 30th! I plan to be sat on top of a mountain with beer!
Other half has asked what I want for my birthday present .. can't think of anything? he has suggested that he could pay or my trip to Morocco as a present for a holiday of a lifetime? or buy me a nice pimpy hard tail?? (I have a Giant Reign 2 and a 15 yr old Kona Fire Mountain which is lacking and dying a bit in itself (parts okay though), or a pimpy road bike?
What do you think? I am more than gobsmacked with all of the above as I think they are incredibly generous offers (we have been together for 6 years). But I don't know what to go for or suggest?

I did utter the word diamond but he is against marriage so I know that won't happen .. but to be honest I am quite happy.

What are your thoughts on the matter????

Well, the trip is for both of you, so not a present exclusively for you, so it's got to be a new bike, or the diamond.

He can buy you a diamond, without having to marry you formally, you know...

(Sidles away, aware that Mr. Munque might not thank him for this suggestion...)

Is it the singletrack trip with cycleactive or the other one?

Hardtail choice - difficult so many options, any factors to narrow it down a bit, racy, relaxed, steel, Ti etc
