You may have to if you find out you have to sell her into slavery/prostitution to pay for that new bike you really, really need.0

They're right i got bit too,thought i'd be able to buy all i needed for £350.By the time i bought the bike i needed and pads and a helmet and some baggy shorts cos i don't want to ruin my normal one's plus a few extras for the bike chainstay protector,chain cleaner thingy,oil,brushes for cleaning,fenwicks stuff nearly £800 so far and thats without any breakages.but once you got the kit it's the best £800 i've ever spent!GENESIS CORE 200

Yeah I remember when my mates all thought I was mad cause I'd spent £350 on a bike.
Now £350 buys you wheels, or brakes. And the frame costs £600.0 -
the prob is iv just forked out a grand on a hardtail so im gonna be slamming that about a bit harder than expected. already been looking at pads and a full face.0

Who cares how much you spend, I'm just glad youve bought a proper bike.
What make/model?0 -
£800 - I wish ! Probably spent £800 in brake pads over the years 0

I thought £800 was quite respectable for my first bike and the kit to go with it.GENESIS CORE 200

Yeah, £800 is quite alot of money for a first bike and kit. But it's not a whole lot in the grand scheme of things!
As for the OP, welcome to the most addictive drug ever! It's gonna be easier, cheaper and safer to get addicted to crystal meth!! **

No no, never smile. If you do you'll end up swallowing a mouthfull of flies as you hammer down the trail.
Grimmace my friend, grimmace. That's the face of a true mountain biker. Less internal organs, same supertwisted great taste.0 -
Get yourself a Go Pro Wide Helmet Hero video cam and mount it to you/the bike. Brilliant memories and it helps show your friends what you've really been doing instead of a description which just won't cut it 8)
