For me, its got to be..


Specialized clothing - helmets, glasses, tops, shoes, shorts, etc. etc.
SIS Rego Recovery drink (strawberry)
Torq energy bars (banana)
Endura socks (coolmax and thermolite)
Camelbaks
Hardtails

    Hookers, for me. Once you pop, you can't stop.

    No, wait, pringles, not hookers.

    Never tried them, but just looked them up, and they look pretty good - what tastes better? The berry or banana ones?

    its rare that i buy stuff as a repeat prescription so to speak, ive not been riding long enough for stuff to wear out.

    however, i will always buy specialized eskars and the captains. i spose soon enough i will have to buy a repeat order of stans sealant soon too.

    I'm not an idiot, he must be riding day and night to have to make "repeat purchases". I've ridden twice a week for over 3 years on my old Vulcan frame and it never needed replacing.
