So with the Klein sold and my job going well I need to prioritize my bike spending. You know with what ever is left over after the bedroom furniture, new TV, living room furniture and lawn mower.
The wife and I are apparently convinced we can tag along with the BF's in pulling the economy along. Anyways I digress.
So my boss (the work one not the wife one) has Zipp 404 tubulars with ceramic bearings and he is willing to sell them to me for about 1/3rd of retail. A very sweet deal seeing as that includes ceramic bearings which are $400 by themselves. Plus they have less than 1000 miles on them and are the dimpled tubulars which is what I want.
On the other hand I could get a cross bike and try my hand at cyclocross this fall. It looks like a blast and my previous athletic endeavors should give me a leg up over of some of the rather uncoordinated people I cycle with.
Of course I could also take a less expensive route and go to Fitwerx for a proper fitting which would most likely require a new stem and seat post but still cost about 1/2 of the other items as long as I don't also need different length cranks.
So much to think about!!
Of course my boss has also indicated I would not get a bonus if I didn't agree to buy his wheels...
I am open for suggestions. And trust me I will make sure to make the beautiful wife happy first as we both agree bedroom furniture and lawnmowers come first!!

I'd sue your boss for 'Cycual' harassment and then go buy a new bike and a Corvette with your settlement. Plus you wouldn't have to worry about the extra money for a decent TV. One you can hang on the wall.
AND standing up after consuming 15 beers is not considered "previous athletic endeavors".

Seriously though, I think you should buy a new bike and include one of those pull-along carriages for me to ride in. That is my only hope of keeping up with you after my IN-activity of a complete year.

What what? I have seen many people fall over after 15 beers and I was able to run across the bridge with large holes in it after 15 shots of tequila and 15 beers...that takes skills man!
