I believe the formula is s-1. S being the number of bikes you will have before she leaves you.

I bought a new mtb downhill bike and told the wife it was the same bike I just had it resprayed , that was many years ago unfortunately my son is now 15 and notices even if I change a headset spacer and would drop me in it unless I pay him ( the little git ) . I guess we are all the same , just reckon you need to hide one lol

Sellling your pride and joy is never worth it. Neither is owning similar bikes. Every bike must be different and have a defined roll. Is that too OCD?
