For success, this is what you should have done: or my "how to get your spouse to let you buy bike shit 101"
1. Mention you're looking at a bike. She'll probably say you don't need one.
2. After a week, show her a few bikes, just pics. No prices.
3. Another week, shower her a few more. Point out what you don't want but cost more, but then say that this other cheaper one seems just "ok".
4. Week off.
5. Show a pic of something that looks worse than what you already own on CL
You'll get a "just get the damn thing and stop bugging me, just don't max the checking account out".
Profit. Repeat later for wheels or other kit.
