n+1 Strikes again

I stopped by the LBS today to say goodbye to one of the workers leaving for another job and noticed a new 2013 Madone 5.9 w/di2. Originally maked $4,799 now $2,900. I offered $2,800 and they agreed. I have never ridden di2 before, this thing is sweet! It feels like it just wants to go,go,go. Unfortunately the rain came just after so the real ride will be tomorrow. Guess the Domane 2.3 is for sale!

You just stole yourself a sweet bicycle. If that fits you correctly, the lottery just got won. Well done.

It actually fits better than the Domane 2.0 I bought last year. Got in 21 miles yesterday. What a step up! This is a great bike. Thanks to all for everything I have learned on this forum.

Actually n+1 because I picked up a 1980 Raleigh Super Grand Prix last friday for $100. She's gonna kill me.

Pictures or it didn't happen. You know the rules, pics and a first ride report, are mandatory here.

So, you're saying that living in the garage is *totally worth it*?

Each new bike is N+1. Each bike that goes away is N-1. There is no cumulative score.
