I will 100% definitely blow my first ever Adult Sized Paycheck on a stupid spine-breaker of bike
I said that too....and then I got my first ever adult sized paycheck and had to rethink everything.
Maybe the tax man buys a nice bike with your first ever adult sized paycheck

I'm assuming I can maintain the Wretched Bachelor/Hermit Lifestyle as well, living on chickpeas and tomatoes, surrounded by old bike parts in a not-very-nice flat; my girlfriend may have something to say about that...
A new bike makes job hunting less soul-destroying so I'm going to maintain the illusion for now

Sooner or later I'm gonna get a Real Job (the search starts next week). I will 100% definitely blow my first ever Adult Sized Paycheck on a stupid spine-breaker of bike, I won't be able to resist. Favouring some sort of 160-170mm hardtail with 2.8" tyres right now.
But yeah, it's the end of my PhD and the end of my cheapskatery. I feel all nostalgic. But it will not be missed
Edit: some stupid carbon road wheels are on the shopping list too
