Pride? Kona? Eh?

rather have a trek...

I think the only deadly sin is buying a brand new bike...

 

[LQQK]

Pride: Thinking you can still go riding in tight lycra shorts and jersey (a result of sloth and gluttony).

Envy: Seeing others that fit into their tight lycra shorts and jersey. :roll:

Lust: Also seeing others that fit into their tight lycra shorts and jersey.

Wrath: What you feel when someone comments on your ill fitting tight lycra shorts and jersey. :evil:

Well that’s 6 of them covered....
