Stoo61

Around £1000, bought a second hand roadie, new wheels for the MTB... ritchey carbon finishing kit, tyres, bits an bobs.

Still so much stuff I see and want.

Eskimo427

Scott Spark 20 at the start of the year, various events during the year and a Tacx Fortius at the end of the year. This does not include new tires, intertubes etc.

Far too much money and I still need a new car.

Maybe this year.

Nachimir

Including buying a entry level MTB, a few upgrades, replacement parts, and clothing, between £1.5 and £2K. Some of the gear is also useful for snowboarding, but even if it weren't: totally worth it

Bred2shred

Another first year guy (well first year back anyway) so.

£500 on the Kona Hoss
£350 on Reba teams, front wheel and other bits for the bike
£100 easy on tools and maintenance.
£170 clothing and protective gear.

But i'll be blowing all that lot out of the water in Feb when i'll be buying a Cube AMS 130 team, hope the wife doesn't see the credit card bill for that month.

geoff93

£300 Carrera Vulcan
£1100 Fuel Ex 6
£200 Clothing
£100 Road wheels
£50 Road Brakes
£110 MTB stem and bars

And many more items not worth mentioning, at a total of over £2000, this year I'm going to keep a spreadsheet to be accurate

mudslinger

£1000 Focus road bike (to go faster)
£335 GT Aggressor XC2 (Halfords special offer - now converted to single speed)
£450 Specialized Tricross (2nd hand for commuting)
£200 road shoes, pedals & winter MTB boots

There is probably at least £100 of other stuff I've forgotten about so about £2.5K. 2011 is going to be significantly cheaper although I would like a nice fork for the GT.

Not including £450 on a bike for my wife & £350 for my son as these purchases come out of a separate budget

xtreem

£450 - Fork, front wheel, 2 tires.

miss notax

Ooooh, scary.... :?

Must be over £2.5k - £1,900 of which was my new bike, plus various other 'stuff' I have decided that I can't ride without

Actually, it's probably more than that but I can't bring myself to work it out :shock:

angry_bird

Around £800 in 2010 on components, kit, tools, new light etc. About £600 on a bikey holiday and probably a fair bit on petrol driving the bike around to various places.

reecesanders

i have only spent around £100-£200 this year so far but i am hoping to buy some new forks... does anyone know the steerer diameter of the manitou drake forks??

welshkev

i'd say around £800, i built up a hardtail from scratch and i've bought a new chainset for my full suss, some new brakes and a few other bits and pieces, along with clothes and stuff i'd say it's around £800.

not too bad if you average it out over the year
