I so badly want a new bike and I so badly despair of ever getting my dream madone 6.5 for my 65th birthday in 2 1/2 years that I am going to have to remove myself as well. Bike lust is a bad combination with general depression over lack of progress in training, weight, resistance and cardio not to mention speed in riding that I too will have to take a break from the forum for a while. Sigh....

Can you get a time payment plan with the bike stir- layaway style.
