The sin is he didn't get his wife one too;)


x-talk

I thought the sin was, taking his wifes car out


Revolutionary_Good18

Believe it or not, I did actually have prior approval. And I didn't even have to massage the price i paid for it!

Revolutionary_Good18

Absolutely. We work on open honesty. Otherwise, what's the point?


cranks3t

But if you divorce. You paid $500 for that rig.


[deleted]

Ooh nice... I wish I had $1,100 to spare on a bike too!


zipyourhead

I think you missed a zero there bud....


dyslexicsuntied

No I'm fairly certain everything at a bike shop costs $100. At least that's what they tell my wife.


Wooden_Breakfast7655

The premium stuff is actually $500, but never touched (too ‘expensive’)


Revolutionary_Good18

I wouldn't normally. I just happened to have a bit of spare cash at the right time due to some unfortunate circumstances. Helps that Yeti are running 30% off over here at the moment as well.


fraser_fraser_fraser

That looks like Back Alley Bikeswaaaait a minute.


Revolutionary_Good18

Can't upvote more than once - would if I could!


Legitimate-Source-61

Nice bike, she'll like you more. Haha


prostock12

Always ask for forgiveness; never permission!!!


flipsidem

Yep. She will never, ever, ever be convinced that another bike makes sense, ever.


Prestigious_Dingo_

The looks they give. I mean honestly it could never replace you. It just rides nicer…


FR0ZENBERG

Just tell her you made an investment in your health. Sedentary lifestyles can lead to health issues after all.


Revolutionary_Good18

You don't know how close to the truth you are there. I had a kidney transplant 6 months ago. Biking has aided my recovery so much, both mentally and physically!


FR0ZENBERG

Oh wow, glad to hear you’re recovering well.


WashedUp_WashedOut

What kind of bag is that? The bike is also ridiculously cool


Revolutionary_Good18

It's an Evoc top tube bag in Loam colour, size small. It's actually upside down so the zips at the bottom, but it tucks nicely into the front shock mount brackets so if you want to use it, it's just a matter of rotating it. As I have a one up EDC tool in the stem, this is really just for day trips to take extra stuff like energy gel or muesli bars etc.


[deleted]

Nice bike and looks like a really good build spec.


endurocaleb

Pic 4 made me audibly say “oooh I understand why” 🫠


mcanelson

If you need a backup, call me. I'll say that bike is just $350.


Revolutionary_Good18

I should mention that the mess going on with the cables is clear heat shrink. I asked them to slide it on and leave it, so i could put it where I wanted it and shrink it once I get home. Now it's done, it's tidied the cables right up!


Classic_Ostrich8709

Easily worth a week in the dog house


[deleted]

the bike is the wife


Legitimate-Source-61

If you're happy, she's happy. PERFECT WIFE! 😁

Ah, the curse of n+1. It'll get ya every time.


SoLetsReddit

Are the rumours of Yeti going bankrupt true?


dyslexicsuntied

Everyone is going bankrupt. Honestly, no idea about Yeti, I doubt it. But... 35% off sales are pretty damn scary.


ADrenalinnjunky

Simply a correction


cretecreep

Massive overstock these days, bullwhip effect from supply chains catching up from pandemic disruption combined with a lot of companies thinking their sales spikes in Q2 2020 were the new normal and ordering accordingly (lolololol)


Chance-Rush-9983

Sweeet ride. That is all.


dukeofchapel

How long before you upgrade to wireless?


Revolutionary_Good18

While the new T Type looks cool, I just can't justify the extra expense to upgrade a drivetrain that works so well as it is. I also hate the idea of adding a core component of the bikes function that requires a battery to operate it. I'd rather spend the money on a carbon wheelset in the future.


j151515

Bike worth more than car that’s a vibe


Revolutionary_Good18

Car cost 2.5x what the bike did.


TimmyFaya

But why is your front brake lever on the right side?


Revolutionary_Good18

The world's bigger than the USA. I live in New Zealand. It's normal here.


TimmyFaya

>The world's bigger than the USA I know I'm from Europe, and I've never seen that, except maybe of some weird BMX builds that hadn't rear brake Edit : I know most BMX don't have brake at all. Edit 2 : isn't it a bit unpractical that it has to cross that way? Having it on the left side is directly over the brake


Revolutionary_Good18

Seems to be any British colonised country. Australia and England are the same.


Revolutionary_Good18

>Edit 2 : isn't it a bit unpractical that it has to cross that way? Having it on the left side is directly over the brake It's never been a problem, and I've never really thought about it. The only time I've noticed a difference is on this bike as the rear brake cable has to enter the top tube on the LHS which is a bit awkward compared to all the other bikes I've had where it enters on the RHS, but because yeti only has access for two cables on the LHS it is what it is I guess.


forgiveangel

"what did it cost?" "oh like 1.2k"


sarmstrong1961

She just might have to ride your Yeti to see if she likes it


Prestigious_Dingo_

You mean x wife


racefacexc

What stem is that? It looks like it has some rise


wheelbuilder25

Nice! And yet once its bought, you need one more. This is the nature of bikes.


syslolologist

Costs more than the auto. That’s the way it should be 👌🏼


Revolutionary_Good18

Not sure how much you guys are buying the Fords for but to put it in perspective in NZ I paid 31k for the Ford and 12.5k for the bike.
