My budget was @ 3500 or less and i really wanted that bike.....nothing else would do.....so i left the shop with my old bike hating myself for being so "poor"......
Im still hating on myself now.....
Damned TDF gets you all hyped ands stuff and you just want , want and more want.... ha ha.

On a positive note , back on the bike after many months of hybernation. Had a decent fall a while back and hurt my right wrist , hip and knee....
Smashed my mobile phone and damaged both tyres and drew some lines in the pavement with my pedals at 25 klmh..
luckily was more of a skid and no other damage to bike. I used my body to shield it.... you know, broken bones mend and all that and broken bikes just cost too much moneyz.. LOL !!!
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission

Surely you couldnt 'find' the extra $400?
