Winter bike = cheaper

Actually no. I have replaced the groupset, well with a bit of help from lbs, then realised BB was graunching so had to buy tools to remove cranks and tighten BB. Thought i was away then the hub on my rear wheel went leaving me with an 8 mile walk, new wheel ordered and now realized i ordered the wrong one, it's for a tourer so wont fit in the dropouts also now realised that the headset is grinding and graunching when handlebars are turned. So far about 300 quid spent and still a fooked bike :evil:

Is anyone else as useless with bikes as me?


Sorry for the rant but this is getting rediculous, to commited to stop, to expensive to carry on :roll:

My winter bike cost me £50 about 5 years ago.. I fit new tyres every winter,+ chain and block.It gets used bits and pieces as needed which normally see the winter months out.Then they go in the scrap box.
Sometimes it breaks down and then I give it a kick. :evil:
