Hey Mr,

I know how you're feeling. I had a perfectly decent bike, but decided to upgrade to a custom bike, and felt really weird about it. As the bike building process was underway, I found myself trying to justify to myself why I needed this fancy bike. I knew I still wouldn't be winning the Tour de France. It seemed like such an unnecessary luxury. Well, sometimes it's the luxuries that make life fabulous! You need things like that in life.

One thing that for sure is true--it's more fun to ride a better bike. So I say go for it. Your other bike will be for rainy days and going to the store. You need a backup! Plus, we can all tell what a great guy you are. You deserve it!
