Same same !
35 years or is it 36 now ?
colwyn bay triathlon 1990 I paid 3 k for an argon e114 then retro fitted di2 to it when electronic shifting was very very rare 4 k total IIRC?.
My e119 rim brake manual shifting is faster than I will ever go at my age now and still a lovely bike Lance lied about everything else in his life, but it really wasn”t all about the bike.
10 k on a bike is alot of money but we are all on a running clock ..
The bike I used for tri - basically a road bike tricked out with tri kit - cost me £2500 back in 2004 which was a lot then.
Nice, as we’ve said before, your commute will be faster and more stylish, plus just think how much that lovely Rachel would be subsidising it 
Decent wheels as well.
JFDI sunshine.
Absolutely great for commuting. In a straight line. With no traffic. Or rain. 
Or potholes or twats on escooters or …
Not sure exactly what im replying to, didnt take in the previous three posts.
Edit:
Oh.. yes would be brill.
I think XS is going to be someone smaller than 5"7 TBH
I’m 171 and small in tt bike
Dr fruit is 5 10? 11?
Just an example there are lots for sale just now
Don’t think you can say, without knowing the stack reach of the athlete and the frame, ie - I’m 171 and can do S or XS on the Argon E118
That looks like a nice bike for someone at a great price. Bit yellow perhaps.
It’s green ?
No ?!?
I reckon there’s lots of people who sign up for an Ironman, buy a TT bike because that’s what they think they should be riding for an IM and then sell it at a big loss when they move on to Hyrox or whatever the next fitness challenge is.
They probably don’t have the riding skills to ride the TT bike properly and realise that it’s not a great bike for casual riding or going out with their mates, so they sell it with hardly any use.
I have bought my last 5 bikes all off eBay
Two you could have put back in the shop and nobody would know.
One .. the guy spent as much on modifying it ( making it better ) as he did on the original purchase ?!?
Some people have too much money some people are just crap with it, I reckon you are pretty spot on.
For me it’s like buying a brand new car with your own money .. I just wouldn’t.
The depreciation is shocking as the next model comes out.
You’d have known, when there were only 3 bikes left in your garage…
But know what you mean and would 100% agree if I was buying a bike from taxed income. But the opportunity to buy a new bike (and only a new bike) from pre-tax income has put a different slant on it this time round. Plus I just want something shiny for once in my life, got to be some payback for driving round in an Aygo 
Got to be … !
Got a 5% off any Canyon bike code to share if anyone wants it
Probably right. I’ve just found that cycle exchange take cycle to work vouchers, and there are two Tri bike under £3000 there. So it’s in the realms of possibility. Take the tax off and split over a year…
