    Much more than someone of my rather limited capabilities should do.

    I think I realised I'd over done it last week when I had 3 frame builds on the go. Just need to tape up the handlebars on one, cut the cables and bar tape another and am now waiting on the arrival of a stem before cutting the fork on the third. Whilst waiting for the stem I have been going through my inbox deleting all emails starting "We have just processed your Wiggle order".....

    Sh!t loads !!!

    That said, I built my Enigma to my spec last year, so there's not a lot in the way of components that I need at the moment. Which is good, as Mrs C is currently channeling all spare funds into a new kitchen :shock:

    That said, I have been eyeing up some new wheels lately. I've got stronger this year and am now noticing som flex on the hills..... Well, that's my excuse anyway :wink:

    Even though I don't have the need for components at the moment, there's always jerseys and gloves.........

    I'm considering getting my wages paid directly to my LBS and just asking them for spending money occasionally...

    Yup, running very cheap... Two pairs of trainers a year, cycling very expensive

    In sheer desperation I discovered the effect of gravity and inertia on the human body... Problem sorted

    don't forget to factor in the physio costs when your knees blow out whilst running!!

    As far as cycling goes I don't drink, smoke or eat take aways (I sound fun don't I) so that offsets my spend!

    Varies depending on how much student loan is left and how much I earn.

    This year, close to £2k. Last year, <£200. Years before that will all have ranged from £200-£1000, depending on my circumstances. I could spend more but I'd rather keep my savings as my savings. Got an emergency bike fund from some of the money I earned in my gap year should I need to replace things which I keep separate but I don't like using it.
