I've been vacillating back and forth and I am about to fall off the fence. I have decided I deserve, and will get a new bike very soon. I have the trek 7.3 fx, and I will be upgrading to a 7.7 fx. It's lighter and has some nice components and comfort features and it's time for me to do a little revenge spending. So there!
Welcome to the other side! You go girl! Life's too short to not have the bike you love.
You have my approval. Go for it!
Good for you!! :)
It is really nice to feel like you deserve a nice bike...at least it was nice for me! I never do anything for myself, and buying a nice bike (I got a 7.5fx) was super splurging for me, and I usually feel guilty, but I didn't this time! Go girl!!
The older you get the easier it is to get past feeling guilty for doing something for yourself. Eventually you won't even feel a twinge:D
... says the girl with the new, fancy dancy, gorgeous, "all decked out" 16 lb ride!! :D:D:DQuote:

The carbon fork seemed ridiculous to me. By the time I was through with my bike it weighs 40 pounds. So with a carbon fork it might weigh 39 pounds? But now I wish I had gotten a higher end model, carbon fork and all, so that I could have disk brakes.
