Wish I could could along, but I've got into Norseman for next year and I'm not doing it on my 39/25..!!

Really satisfied with my 4-year old bike tt-bike. Will have it painted during the winter to get the "new-bike" feel

So you are going to sit on your bike for the next couple of years thinking like this:
"Shit a grand prix 5000 is 2W faster per tire".
And after 5 minutes
"Shit a grand prix 5000 is 2W faster per tire".
And so on.
And when you come home to the wife you tell her
"Shit a grand prix 5000 is 2W faster per tire".

You'll have dreams about the grand prix 5000 not being faster. But than you wake up and think
"Shit a grand prix 5000 is 2W faster per tire".

Anyone else have a similar mindset? Plan is to buy nothing for the bike in 2019, except inner tubes if needed. I have to fix up a couple of things on my mountain bike, i.e. brakes and shifters, which I'll probably do over the Christmas break, then I'm good. I have enough of a tire stockpile to get me through a couple of years.

Opposite - In need of a tri bike after selling mine during a move, and likely finally getting a nice roadie as well (if work bonuses allow). I love my CAAD9 but the time has come

Yeah, I'm taking that pledge. Consumables (chain, cables etc) only if necessary. Everything else? I'm good for the next year.

(a lot easier making that pledge having just bought a set of race wheels and new top of the line shoes...)

Nope. Nothing but tubes and a chain (if absolutely necessary). I will allow tires, but they have to be Tufos or Gatorskins.
