This year model vs last year model?

Well first of all, blue is my favorite color! Helped me buy more bike than I intended. You made a great choice. I'm sure you paid more because you got better upgrades. Better upgrades mean a more pleasurable ride. Lots of little things that add up to quite a jump up in the quality of your ride. When you are more comfortable and your bike handles and rides better, you will enjoy riding a lot more.

And who knows, you may have just saved yourself a bunch of money! My husband and I are on our 3rd set of bikes. If we would have just started out with better bikes in the beginning, we would have been dollars ahead.

See, its not what you spent, its what you saved!

I just used my REI dividend today to upgrade my bike computer to add cadence. A couple of years ago, I couldn't have imagined caring about my cadence. We've upgraded from toe cages on our pedals (skip that one) to mountain bike shoes and pedals to road bike shoes and pedals (could never have imagined being one of "those" people. Oh, and the cheapo bike shorts to much better ones.

You were smart, you avoided a couple of bike upgrades. Now get busy figuring out what accessories you and your bike need. Enjoy.
