Not even a month has past and I've already spent a fortune (for me anyway) on the bike. I'm actually wondering when or if this bad habit will end
K-Force light crankset - £180
Ultegra cassette 11-23 - £45
SRAM chain - £30
Inner tubes x 2 - £12
Track pump - £25
Relevant tools - £50 approximately
Total - £342
And I'm sure I've spent more somewhere, just can't remember. This can't continue :-(
How much have you spent roughly this year?

A wheel and tyre for the turbo trainer, and a couple of racks for the garage, not much really.
Spending might be down this year, as Mrs C has just had a new kitchen priced at £29k :shock: :shock: :shock:Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.
