As posted earlier this all depends on getting the right fit Etc.
I started riding in 1989 with a garage sale bike. Then a cheap nashbar bike. in 1991 I bought my first decent road bike. in 2004 I bought my current bike. it's a rare day when I buy a new bike.
I'm a little different than most.

So I placed a Rapha order last night. Two items (winter jacket and an on/off the bike sweater), both of them different shades of pink. So I got that going fer me, which is nice.

Of course, it's possible that neither fits, but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Reviews from last night’s date:
Blinded by the Light: Very good. My bias as a Jersey native and Springsteen fan may be showing, but even if you are neither I do recommend it.
Impossible Whopper: Was just ok. Having been veg for over 30 years, I don’t even miss meat anymore. The taste and texture seem quite close to a real beef burger. This is probably a good choice for the veg-curious and newly veg who misses a meaty fast food burger. I am glad I tried it but unlikely to go for another (unless I am stuck in the middle of nowhere, hungry, and BK is the only option).
