[quote=Anonymous]Your husband is being a gear head and he emphatically does NOT need to spend 2K. not not not. That is a want, not a need. In the context which you present -- $80K HHI, Sahm, money being tight enough that you get grief for PRESCHOOL, ffs -- he is being unreasonable. And before you gear junkies respond to school me on value and quality ... I work at an outdoor goods store that sells bikes and has a bike shop. I own 4 bikes, ranging in value from $50 to $2100. Don't even start. NOTE to OP: While your H doesn't need to spend more than $600 (new) upfront for a commuter bike, he WILL need to regularly have this bike serviced for ~$80 a shot. Tune ups, mainly. But he'll need to replace tubes and stuff once in a while. Not that often, though, since his roundtrip commute is only 30 miles per week.[/quote]
