You've taken the right choice, as a father, and for your current bike. Hows that, 2 birds happy with one foul swoop, or some such metaphor. You are now back on the upgrade trail, I am afraid, but that is not a bad thing at all. Too many of us have rushed into buying a new bike- too soon and although not regretted it, have had a few seconf thoughts. Now about those shiny new barends that you have been promising yourself_________? By the Way, The camera has got to take a picture of every bike she sees, just to stop her from getting bored and give you something to make you realise that your current bike is not that bad.
