Fat Lad: Sweetheart, I need some new wheels, the old ones are groaning a bit and these are very bling for the price….
Mrs Fat Lad: Will they make the climbs any more rewarding or the descents any more satisfying?
Fat Lad: Okay, but, Darling, those handlebars of mine are looking a little tired now I was thinking of these ones…
Mrs Fat Lad: Will they make the warmth of the Summer shine longer or rush the Winter through to the spring?
Fat Lad: well no, but honey bunch, the suspension forks on my steed were state of the art when Ned Overend was a boy, these are the latest and bestest and would make it ride like a new bike…
Mrs Fat Lad: Will they make the good rides better? Will they make the epic’s more epic? Will they make the smile any wider?
Fat Lad: errm, right, but babe, look at these cranks! Super light, stiff and looks to die for..
Mrs Fat Lad: Will they make every ride even more of an adventure or make the post ride pub ride bragging any truer?
Fat Lad: look this isn’t fair! Oooh, boutique titanium frame, think of the potential of that…
Mrs Fat Lad: Will it make the miles and memories of past rides brighter in your thoughts? Will it make the climbs less rewarding and the trail call out to you more?
Fat Lad: what sweetie? Wow, shiny!! New model GPS all the buttons and features a geek could ever hope for…
Mrs Fat Lad: Will it pin point your soul and keep it on the trail? Will it lead a better path out into the night to meet friends for miles, smiles, and the hipflask? Will it show the way to a better ride?
Fat Lad: No. No it Wont. Sigh.
Just these two inner tubes then please mate…
