Nakoota Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Every time I see a bargain my overdraft gets bigger I have another kid on the way and can't seem to pass up a red sign with a white sale price in it. It all started 4 months ago with this: And then after a month someone suggested I enter the 947 after a 20 year absence and i got this: And a week ago he found these on sale so they got shipped: And now i saw this and i'm thinking of ways to make my pregnant 1,67cm wife fit the large Anthem 1 so that I have an excuse to get a bright shiny orange Pyga: And on top of it all I now have a spare 2x10 xt that needs a bike, anyone want to take it off my hands before I can't afford school fees anymore. ... funnies aside, I actually do have a problem here.
hayleyearth Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Yeah, I had the same problem at a stage, luckily I have calmed down A LOT!
'Dale Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 It's called Upgrade-itis Syndrome High prevalence amongst cyclists TIPS*Don't visit bike shops or Classifieds*Let your spouse handle your credit card / wallet and she must assist you to withhold any further spending on fietse stuff *sell everything and start running ????
Muzzarati Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Also known as CUD, compulsive upgrade disorder.
AlanD Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Dude, you need to take a step back and get your priorities straight. We all have an upgrade apocalyptic virus running through our blood but when you start getting into financial difficulty where you can't send your kids to school then its a no no. Your family comes before cycling, period and their well being is much more important that ugrading your bikes.

Pah Bear Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Upgrade-itis Syndrome *(Don't) sell everything and (just) start running Been there although mine was like 20 years ago. Took my wife to call me to order big time (I'm scared of her) . LOL. Now, the bug visits occasionally and I give in if I have spare cash (only). Like the saying goes, once an addict always an addict. So consider me in long term recovery. LOL Stay strong and say NO. One day at a time. . AND like Dale suggested, got some running shoes and started beating the hell out of the tar. Think the bouncing causes my brain to stay more calm.
Prince Albert Cycles Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Don't stress man . Many many worse things to get addicted to
Pah Bear Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Thats what I (we) do; I only get some pocket money for the month - like a little kid againSo Pulse you not in recovery, just under control? LOL
Danger Dassie Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Biketitus .... it's real thing. Be grateful it's not a motorised addition too!
Pulse Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 So Pulse you not in recovery, just under control? LOLAbsolutely...Don't think I'll recover, ever! 'Cause that means I must admit that I have a problem...
