Where did you find your coach? I agree that spending money on bike bling doesn't pay off like spending money to improve performance. Robert Kahler is near me and twice a year he does what he calls a torture clinic. I will probably try it in January, but I thought I might look around and see who else is near me.

those glasses look like fake oakleys from a gas station and would be lost within a week, so NO on the glasses
+1 for paying down debt, but i'd have to get at least one cycling component as the money passes through my hands

I'd buy an Ultegra 6700 group and nice wheels for my wife and a good spare set of wheels for my bike, unless I had debt to pay off.

. Can't say I can keep straight the cycling interest of all our members here at bike forums..
This would be my dream bike. A Lite speed Blue Ridge.With accessories, it probably would chew up the better part of 4 k.

I'd probably spend it on a supported tour of the Alps.

I'd get my wife an Ariel elite and some road frame for her as well, build it up with rival, get myself a crit frame, get a full red kit for my tarmac and put the force parts on the kit bike. then i'd pay off some loans. (the bike dollar goes further when you work in the industry).

I'd get a nice, though not top of the line, AL bike with all the trimmings, a used Fender Blues Jr amp, and a used Martin hd-28v Acoustic guitar
