Did you really think we would HELP you with this?!?
I have this bike in the 2006 model... I LOVE MY BIKE!!!
(Putting on my Credit Counseling hat, now...) Just ask yourself:
- Is it a want or a need?
- Will this purchase help me reach my financial goals?
- Can I really afford it?
- If I buy it on my credit card, can I pay it off this month?
(sorry... I had to do it.Removing CC hat, now...)
Woo Hoo! It sure is pretty! Good luck with the decision!Congrats on the promotion!

Oh Aggie! Take her for a spin!!! And take your wallet with you! I am sure it would love to feel the speed as you zoom down the road for your "test of willpower".......
I mean, you might end up hating it, right??? <evilgrin> (I am the devil on your shoulder saying GO FOR IT! Never been called an angel in my LIFE.)

Do it.... do it....
I found the love of my life when I wasn't even looking for her, and knew I couldn't afford her. And I don't regret it a bit.

Being able to afford your dream bike is supposed to be a consideration?? Geezz, I'd never have Cielo if that were the case......

I was in love with the 2006 model, then I saw the green while patiently waiting for the green light on the 2006 (my shop still has a couple). The blue is gorgeous, the green is just different. If they would make me a good deal on the blue one since it is 2006, I would buy it. They are both so purty!
How do you like the saddle? I am_really_hesistant about no cutout.

I think I am test riding next weekend.
DH has decided I deserve the next new bike since his road bike was the last one purchased. He also said I should test ride so people can give me the right bike shop gift cards. He is putting off getting a new mountain bike so I can have a good road bike, what a guy! We are done buying things for our new house, I just have to wait for my bonus from work and Christmas. If I like it I might be getting it in January, latest February. The bike shop does do a layaway program, might have to ask about that. They also do inhouse financing with no interest if you pay half. After my bonus we will have half, I just need to determine what their fine print on that is.
