The Correspondent's Bike

Regular readers of this blog (all 4 of you) will notice that I have regular comments posted by a certain person. I like to call this person 'The Correspondent', he is my equivalent of Dr Hutch's Bernard. Oft he throws his morsels of wisdom on my comments plate and I gratefully gobble them up (even though they do give me acute indigestion). Unfortunately he got knocked off his bike the other week. I say 'unfortunately' because it meant that his insurance payout has gifted him a complete upgrade and I have had to live with the regular phone calls, texts and picture messages - 'Guess what I've just got?', 'Guess which wheels I've got?' and so on, and on, and on....So, today, behold the finished article (another picture message, hence the shoddy quality). Quest frame ('He's a mate', he says), Reynold's Assault wheels ('Deep section carbon, so quick'), Campag Super Record ('It's a solid as a Swiss watch') and Deda white carbon fibre bars ('Flash' (that's my comment)). All in all I have to admit that it is a very nice bit of kit, albeit in a 'European' sort of way and, though I hate to say it, he was apparently quite a good rider in his (long departed) youth and possibly worthy of this indulgence. Of course the problem now is that, much though I deny it to my beloved, I feel an arms race in the offing. Mmmmm.......what first?
