The best was catching a friend of mine for a beer Friday night. He said, "Hey I saw a 2007 PowerTap SL listed on Craigslist..."

I raise my finger, "I own it."

The math I used with my wife was this:

Used 2007 PowerTap SL + rear wheel: $725
I need a new wheel: $380
I'm selling my iBike/cadence/TT mount: $340

Therefore the total cost of migrating from iBike to PowerTap: $5.
$725 - ($380 + $340) = $5

That, and I watched the little one all day Thursday so she could spend the day in the city with her college friends touring the yuppie wine bars. "No honey, you deserve it."
Good logic. I built that psycho rear wheel I have on there now, so I've got like 3 more years before the "I need a new rear wheel" argument will ring true

Christmas will be here, and I'll be just as disappointed as everyone else with my power numbers
