Yesterday in an idle moment I looked at Auction Watch and spied a sweet looking IF frame in my size, going for not much at the time and only an hour or so for the auction to run. With precious little thought I loaded the sniper and rode home, planning the build if I won (yep, counting chickens etc).
Thankfully I was outbid although it was a close run thing. But why the sin? Well although the disc mount (heresy, obviously) is something to raise eyebrows, it was also a 29er frame - clown wheels, what was I thinking :shock: ?
I have spent most of today bewildered and confused - was this some sort of subconscious cry for help? A second midlife crisis? Was I destined for a red sports car and a lithe lovely far too young for me? Would I be pierced and branded by month end? Had I lost it? Did I ever have it in the first place?
So what should be my penance? I throw myself, prostrate, at your mercy.
