Мартин имеет новый bike

Мартин смотрело много sexierее чем обычно на сегодняшней езде. Более специфически, его новый принц Pinarello горяч!

Велосипед фанатики знайте что хорошие bikes дороги довольно дорогие так угождают не посылают Джанет соединение к этой статье, пожалуйста!

Мартин toying с немного стратегий на как «спрятать» эту покупку от Джанет. Не очищать bike будет его идеей руководства - и смотрящ derailleur его старого Pinarello, котор заднее он уже хорошими напрактикованный в этой стратегии.

Местный магазин цикла в Франции в настоящее время продает некоторые un-sexy bikes на как раз над €100. Во время сегодняшней езды, я выучил то которое чем педаль Барри левая. Оно чем его правая педаль слишком! Младенец углерода! (Bike Барри posh новый от 2007).

Я знаю почему Мартин чувствовало потребность купить эту sexy машину. Он слабонервн о наше предстоящем Путешествие d' Enfer над Alps этот июль. Модели воспринимают к мне.

Мартин имеет новый bike

Лично, I имеет множество bikes. Не потому что я люблю bikes. Но потому что я буду таким lousy механиком когда одно начинает подействовать вверх, я закупаю new one.

Но я только имею один небольш «дорогий bike» и это было закуплено за неделю до a случай 173 километров над несколькими гор последний июль. Мои слабые ноги делали мной панику и я убедил что новый bike был моим единственным шансом. Так я понимаю покупку Мартин.

Ли он может держать его секретом будет другой вопрос. Здесь будет как мой супруга заметил мою покупку:

Пока нагружая Trek Madone в автомобиле:

Супруга: Тот bike стоил?

Я: Вы намереваетесь?

Супруга: Я НИКОГДА не видел, что вы будете настолько тщательн с bike. Никогда.

Я: Мед, котор вы смотрите красивейшими сегодня.

Супруга: Oh мой бог, будет вами оборачивая его в одеялах!

Если мой супруга читает это:, то Звери Барри и Мартин sexy были далекие дорогими чем моего просто но практически bike!

Сегодня, of course; мы сделали милую большую езду для того чтобы испытать новые колеса. Мартин было ясно по крайней мере 10% более быстрым (только 100% более sexier). :)

  1. Good! Martin even shaved (the beard) for the maiden trip on the Prince. Wow wow and congratulations. Will, you know what this means for you. Barry has a brand new 2007 Merida with 2 (two!) carbon cages, Martin is a hero with his Prince (so new you can still smell the paint). So you have the choice. Or you say “Sorry Doreen, I had no choice” or you keep logging miles like you have done this week. The last one sure is the easiest option : peace in the house and lots of fun riding!
    PS : could Martin join for the after-ride drink or did he not bring any $$$? I wonder where those went? Maybe Janet knows ;-D

  2. LOL. Doreen, I definately saw lust in Will’s eyes today (so I rode on…. fast!), but you should think of his garage more as a walk-in wardrobe ;)
    However, I’m sure I heard him and Martin saying something about surprising their loved ones with a new dress soon :)

  3. lol, first thing I thought was only one carbon holder? Then I clicked on the pic and you had it for a caption, I don’t feel so bad now.

    I understand why he only has one, he needs to be able to show his wife that he isn’t being greedy or obscene!

  4. Sweet… but I also have to comment on the one carbon bottle holder. It’s kind of an insult to this exquisite Pinarello. :) If you’re going to go all out… go all out! Maybe the shop only had one in stock… so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt… for now.

  5. Hello Boys — on behalf of wives everywhere, I feel compelled to respond!

    I will say what Will says to me when I ask him about a ‘big’ purchase: ‘If you like it and you’re going to use it, go for it!’ I have even resigned myself to parking in the driveway during spring/summer so that the garage has enough space for all his bikes — what more could a husband ask?

    I just think it’s kind of sneaky to not mention the purchase in advance, and wait for me to notice it. Because you know what, Chill? I WILL notice :-)

    And the other thing…you never have answered my question of how much the Trek Madone cost……….

    Doreen, the eagle-eyed wife

  6. Uh OH! Are you OK Will? Will… Are you there? Please Doreen… have mercy. :)

  7. Doreen is right – they always notice. A warning to all out there! It may take a day, or more than a year, but they find out. A friend of mine in Canada holds the record – 14 months. One day his wife asked: “I didn’t know you had a red and white bike?” The Cervelo Soloist was out of the bag and he was in the dog house.

    In fairness, the purchase will not be a total surprise. She’s caught me drooling at the shop window on several occasions. The shop is run by a husband and wife team so I asked her for advice. Without blinking she advised that Janet should also get something special and suggested jewelry or a trip.

    Next time Janet caught me drooling I told her the shop keeper’s advice. Without a second thought she said “Well, I’ve always wanted to go to Portugal…” A few weeks back, she asked if we would be going to Portugal this year…

    She gets back from another trip this week. I am presently taking wagers on how long it will take her to notice the new bike. Any takers? I’ve also already started researching trips in Portugal – any suggestions?

    Martin

    PS - Donald, you are correct about the bottle holder. There was only one in stock and the other arrives this week.

  8. Suggestions? Buy the ticket now!

    My only experience: The Algarve beaches are beautiful (south coast)

  9. I have a friend who one wanted a new tv. Every time he watched TV with his wife he would ask her things like, “does the picture look funny to you?”, or “I think the red is washed out a little - do you?”, or “why are the lines so fuzzy?”. He kept at it for a month until his wife finally DEMANDED that he go out and buy a new tv that actually worked. Make sure to spend enough to get a good one.

    I’m still trying to figure out how to translate this into getting a new bike :)

  10. Doreen, don’t worry about how much Will’s bike costs. It is actually so cheap that you do NOT want to put yourself to shame by knowing it. Will’s bike has been the joke for months at almost every Geneva cycling club. Your husband is an example of frugal cycling in a very bling-bling Geneva. And look what you get in return for this little cash : LEGS, LEGS, LEGS and (almost) no tummy!

    Martin, I have the solution for you. Tell Janet you bought her a new bike (Pinarello Prince) so she can join you on the holiday you offer her to go to Portugal. I’m sure she will think it is very sweet of you and that she will love the bike because it is so …sexy. But I’m equally sure that before you reach Satigny, her butt will hurt enough for her to suggest you use the bike. What do you think???

    (Both Will and Martin, please call headquarters immediately to confirm you are still alive.)

  12. A Prince! Be still, my heart. Even if Martin has to sleep out in the garage, it will be worth it.
