I have on order a $3500 bike. It's more bike than I can ride, I'm sure. But hey, I can't take it with me and I never buy anything for myself. Unless you consider vet expenses for three aging cats spending money for me. Oh and I purchased a set of Boyd wheels and will trickle down wheelset to the boat anchors on the existing bike. I bought the hybrid to continue commuting in wet, winter weather. I test rode a bike that had Di2 and it was really exceptional, but I couldn't really justify the additional $1300 price. Call it vanity if you want, but I call it treating myself. People at work have $800 coffee grinders (yes eight hundred) and I think they are crazy. Now they can call me crazy :-) I consider myself extremely fortunate to have enough money to be able to treat myself.
