The Triban could get different wider tyres and I'd use it along the canalised into work. Thus saving me nearly a grand a year, meaning the bike has paid for itself within 12 months... Well that's my thoughts...
TBH the gaffer is great I can spend my own money however I want once I've put my share into the house. |
There ya go... paid for in a year and sounds like she's a good sport.

I'm inclined to agree. As I mentioned a few pages back, I was originally looking for 105 on an ally frame. Had one bike lined up with the full group at a decent price that I'd have been happy with and then this thing grabbed me. Sucker!
My GF likes the good stuff... hers was about 4x the money which is fine by me even if I was paying for it. She gets pretty good use from her bikes while I was just getting back into it. I'm doing about 2000km per month now and if I keep going like this I can justify (to myself) getting something better sometime in the latter half of next year. In the meantime I'm very happy with what I've got.
