I'm funding something that I completely believe in, and I'd not especially using that stuff regularly enough to find it necessary.
If I can keep her family drama down by paying for the wedding and stuff myself, that'd be really nice.
If I have enough left over to buy a Thomson stem/post & some handlebars for the track bike - that'd be true perfection.
