New Bike Syndrdome (NBS)
So I've noticed that since I bought my new bike, I ride faster, climb better, my joints feel better, my wife is more attracted to me, my teeth are whiter, my work is stronger, and children now love me. Of course it has to be the bike.
Anyone else get this?

I've only had this feeling twice in 17 years

3 in 12 (but only 2 in last 11)
Amazingly, those feelings -- at least the riding ones -- kept going on my new ride last year. Probably more due to the fact that I just about tripled my mileage last year compared to the previous one.

today! If it makes you feel better, your w/kg dwarfs mine. Of course, I am not exactly your competition 
Oh, and to the OP -- what is your new toy?

For a second there I thought the OP said "wife was more attractive to me."
