Anybody can tell you to spend money. Spend time and earn fitness. By the time you get there that stuff will be on sale.
My least favorite argument. Why shouldn't someone have the bike they most enjoy riding? I know I wouldn't ride nearly the hours I do if I didn't have a fast bike that gave me a thrill every time I hopped on. The investment also provides some incentive to get out there on days when the weather is bad or I'm not feeling 100%.
