A (male) friend said to me today, after I told him about the bike I'm buying (he's really into bikes), "you know, that's the difference between men and women; a man would just buy the bike, not care about the cost or if he's a novice rider, and just be thrilled to show it off."

Unless that man happens to be a Scot like my DH who thinks that if the bike has 2 airtight wheels, working brakes and a seat set on the post, why on earth would you need a new one??

Trust me, while money may not be an issue, I'm still trying to get DH mentally past the cost of my entry level Trek 1000 I bought a year ago.
