Ladies, thanks for the advice. I like my bike, she fits me well. However, she was what I could afford at the time. Or I should say it was what my ex would spend, actually it was the last thing he bought me before... I know I could put nicer componets and better wheels on the current bike. But I thought why not the new bike. She is a little beat up now, scratched, etc. I wash her often and sometimes read stories to her too. She gets to sleep in the in the living room. I plan to put her on my trainer so that I can still use her when the weather or work prevents me from riding.

It is also sort of physchological. After a divorce some women get botox, new breasts or a young boyfriend, now that the dust has settled I want a new bike!
