Thanks for the wonderful comments ladies.
The boyfriend- Not sure how I got this one! But we have been together 3 years...and it looks like he's not planning on leaving me anytime soon...
And I have my ways of "paying him back"...
The bike- It's my dream bike. I seriously looked all over, test rode different bikes... and when I rode this bike, I KNEW I wanted it. There was no doubt in my mind, that it was the bike for me. Unfortunately, my wallet could not afford my *dream*.
I am honestly shocked, and blown away by this overly generous gift.
I hope to get it setup this weekend with my seat, pedals and carbon handlebars... so I can ride it soon."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

Wow that is a beautiful bike. From another rider who got an amazing bike from her husband I say enjoy and dont worry about the cost it was a gift and just the joy he sees on your face when you ride it will be payment enough...well maybe a few extra hugs wouldnt go astray.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
