Yeah, not sure I can use that term love for anything other than humans. But I get your point. I thought I was having the time of my life riding old vintage bikes. But when I got my brand new Tarmac in 2020 at 62 yo, I found what so far is the most fun bike to ride that I've ever had.
Can't wait to see what the next bike is like. However so far the wife still says no! Hope that this isn't your last bike either. And glad you went with color. Bikes and cars should have color. The grays, blacks, whites and other blah tones are somewhat boring.
