Parlee Altum disc 56cm, Zipp 303 disc wheels, sram red Etap hrd groupset

I sometimes honestly, sincerely, and deeply wish that I didn’t do research; that I didn’t spend a large proportion of my day looking at cycle gear and everything remotely related to it; that I had no interest what so ever in the never ending gratification of buying, building, selling buying building selling etc etc, because if I didn’t my life would, on paper, be so much better:

• 1) I’d be very wealthy (on the proviso hard drugs and strippers didn’t fill the void Cycling never found, which seems to be what people I know who don’t cycle do, and also come to think of it some of those who do cycle)
  
• 2) I’d likely know the intricacies of some other subject matter, like political economy, geo-physics, or molecular biochemistry instead of every variation of Shimano Dura Ace Groupset that’s existed since the beginning of time, and how it performs comparatively.
  
• 3) My other half would have very little to moan at me about (on the proviso I didn’t find a penchant for hard drugs and strippers instead)
  
• 4) I’d be clinically obese
  
• 5) I’d feel slightly more comfortable wearing short shorts and T-shirt’s in summer without such awkward tan lines.
  
• 6) I wouldn’t be so constantly conflicted by people on this forum who have posted less than twice trying to sell things at ridiculous prices.
