Was going into a new MTB, unfortunately had to put it into the house loan to help cover the extra cost for the house extension we are currently in the middle of building :(
But I did pick up a new frameset, front wheel and aero helmet during the year so can't complain too much... :)

Cyclocross bike and/or computer. My current roadbike is more than adequate for triathlons at the moment. :D Though i might get some aerobars and a forward seatpost and try them out for a "poor mans" tri-bike. :)

Cranky old person answer: I set up withholding so I don't get a refund - Uncle Sam shouldn't be holding onto that much money without interest!

I agree...but I'm actually refiling my 05 and 04 taxes to get a $4000 life time learning credit from law school tuition.

Not only do you have to be able to afford stuff now, but you have to sell the purchase to the wife. Trust me, she's already got every dime you make allocated :p

Guys, can we keep the wife-bashing out of the tri forum?

How about you
Probably a Trek 1500.
I want to road ride a lot, try this tri thing, and am not yet ready for the all out, bull horn, bar end shifter, saddle forward setup.

My fiance wanted (and got) an '06 Orbea Ordu instead of a ring. I was even able to score one with the same Limited Edition paint job as Hunter Kemper's. I love that woman.
