Perhaps not a good premise, but why should he be offended, if considering my own purchases in that same light doesn't offend me? Oh, well, live and learn.

We have traded enough about bike stuff for me to know you know what you are talking about. I do agree with WhyFi that your choice of words was unfortunate but I do agree with the premise of what you wrote....a family man strapped for funds should seek value and not foofoo...even though foofoo is very sweet. I like Rolex's and don't own one either. We shouldn't judge other people's buying decisions but I think the difference in your explanation is...you know yourself so you can say whatever you want in your private dialog....a different matter on a public forum however.
Cheers.
