MMMMM--Yep. Didn't even go into the shop to buy anything. Went in to get out of the weather. 5 months earlier I had bought Boreas and kept the OCR as the foul weather bike. Rode the OCR that day as it was foul weather and after Boreas- It was hard work. Chatting in the shop and he mentioned that he could do a good deal on a Giant MTB. I told him that if I was going to get a new bike it would be a road bike to replace the OCR as it was not up to the standard of Boreas.

20 minutes later and I had a TCR-C ordered in my size and I was sorting the extras.

I have learnt now and I don't go to the LBS much. I can't afford it and with N+1 bought in February in the form of a cheap Pinarello--I have bikes enough for a few years.
