Oh no! I've fallen in love!

I've always believed you have to follow your heart.
Get a really good case to ship it to the UK.

Oh, I mean...mantra.....
uh....
must not buy the bike of my dreams.
Yeah, that's it.

How much do these bikes cost normally? Also these opportunity's don't always come along very often. Example- we are trying to watch our money right now, but had a client who was a furniture company. Had an opportunity to buy a couple pieces at wholesale price plus no shipping charge. Couldn't resist. We got this coffee table for a 1/3 of the floor price as well as an awsome wine rack for a 1/3 of the price. That opportunity was not going to happen again. I love our new peices. By the way they charge a lot for furniture. It makes me never want to buy retail again. Our coffee table cost us $129. in the store it would have cost us around $500. AHHHHHHHHH!

Geez and I was having trouble resisting a Ruby that was $150 off retail last week. Question is- can you afford to spend it. If you can that is one heck of a deal. Of course I am biased because I spent a good 30 minutes drooling over one last week before I determined we needed to save more. And I didn't even test ride!

Sorry, I can't be of much help here either. Fred the Red, the black and red Redline Conquest Pro would disown me if I dissed a lovely black and red bike.

If you can make it happen financially, it would give you the ride you want, and it feel perfect, well????

I was just about to say "look, it is keeping you off the streets", but that would be accurate.

See if the guy at the LBS will take care of the packing and shipping and throw that into the deal. One can never have to many bikes.

[KnottedYet]

Ooooh, SurlyGirl has a great idea there!

C'mon, you know you want the bike. Need the bike.

Go ask the nice shop-guys if they'll pack and ship. And give your beloved another look while you're at it. Another little ride. Just give it a little love and see if it loves you back, like a puppy up for adoption at the animal shelter.

Love the bike. Buy the bike. Ride the bike.

Hard side bike cases fit two bikes, don't they? If you're bringing one bike home with you pack in a hard case and bring home two. Oh, wait, you weren't asking for practical solutions on how to get two bikes from NZ to the UK, were you?
