your correct...small ring..small matter...comes after bike that come swith the new house .
I think next year will be the year. We'll get our next house sorted and then I'll be able to get the bike... though there is the small matter of the engagement ring too lol
simples
if your partner loves you, ring won't change anything
You guys are trying to get me in trouble!!
Though to be fair I was planting the seeds of a new bike a few days ago. She asked ‘why’ as my bike is nice as is. My literal response was “to keep up with my online friends”
She wasn’t amused

other option when she said current bike is nice : that old thing ? blah...

Unless you want her to get you a n*b piercing for your birthday, I would strongly advise against this line...

A new chainset consists of multiple rings. Why get her a small engagement ring when you could get her a big 52 tooth chainring for your bike
No thank you to the prince Albert!
To be honest, I don't deserve a new bike yet. I'll just look like even more of a tit going slowly on a nice bike! I've set myself a few goals I'd like to do (most important one I want to do first is a local climb and destroy my PB by minutes) before I feel like I would've earned or at least be more deserving of a nice bike.
A measurable one I'm going for is to be able to do the ADZ in <60 minutes. I cycle up it like a glacier at the moment with my best time being 74 minutes. If I keep putting the work in and actually improve over the year, ring or no ring I'll be getting a bike next year

One does not simply "deserve" a new bike.
Just think how much easier and quicker ADZ would be with DI2

I already feel like a poser with my aero wheels and power meter whilst huffing along on the flats
New bikes come with nasal strips which help you to reduce huffing.

You need to start talking about marginal gains. Isn't that what getting married is. When she starts extolling the virtues of marriage just tell her its only "marginal gains".

Just gives people more time to appreciate your sweet bike.
*frame
Although at this point its entirely triggers broom sans the old parts wearing out. It does look mighty fine on my wall though.

Good point, if he gets a new "frame" his mrs would never know if the other components change.

Guys can we all have a sub-forum to privately discuss what we bully @Junglist for next after he's finally given in to a new bike?
to be fair I do usually like throwing money at problems.
*Gets new bike* "What did you do that for? Your last bike was fine!?
