My wife and I had the goal of 100% debt free, house included, by 50. We got there at 49. So, extra cash for bikes for me is there, but every purchase is made with retirement in mind. An extra $3,000 for the Sworks version is $3,000 that might triple by the time I want to spend it. But, I wanted a bike I truly loved. So, the Epic Expert WC met, meets that bar. Like the guy in the NYTimes article pointed out, sometimes spending a certain amount can lead to savings over time.
