The rationale:

You are planning on going longer distances so need a faster, lighter bike.

It is an absolute bargain and you just couldn't pass it up.

It'll pay itself back in no time at all.

If your utility bike got a puncture/broken chain/broken cable etc. you have the new bike to use and vice-versa.

Or the ultimate rationale:

"I fell in love with it so I'm buying it. End of story!!!"

I know what the "fever's" like. I went to buy a pair of cycling shorts and ended up putting a deposit on a new bike. I still haven't got the new shorts
