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.0 -
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.0 -
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 it0

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.Never argue with an idiot, he'll only drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.0 -

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:Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of moments that take your breath away....
