I'm in agreement with anyone here who tries to find deals. Sometimes, it gets your/me but most of the time, the deals are legit. I find it rewarding to do this even though I really don't need to.

I often hear people complain about the rich folks, or something about retirement, blah, blah, blah yet when you look at their spending habit and buying the latest and greatest disregarding last year or older models, I just agree with them. Why? So many things that they need to learn and it's hard to tell them it's the smaller things that add up. Sure they saved several hundred on a TV but buying cycling kit after kit, or tires after tires, etc. add up if you're paying full price.

And yes, some of this has to do with trauma growing up poor.

Would be fun for someone with some cash and spare time to build up a bike with best fakes money can buy and see how it compares…let me know how it turns out in under 100 words please with lots of photos.
