I was right about that saddle
As I browse the web I occasionally glance an advert for a group set, priced at £1849,or a set of wheels at £1999. Now, I fully appreciate the value, advances and advantages in these innovative, quality products, but I can't help but gasp sometimes at these staggering prices.
Covering an anticipated 5000 road miles this year, my budget on parts (gears, wheels, chains etc) is probably £200-300 for the year at the most (and yes, I struggle to get what i need).
Furthermore, the prices for these parts is kind of the budget I might entertain for a complete bike (if I am lucky).
There's obviously a market for Rolls Royce parts, kit, bikes, and plenty of people with that kind of money and I'm wishing it was me I guess!!
Truth be told, if I had £5000 to spend on a bike, I probably would.
Roll on XMAS!
(EDIT - Truth is, I quite like fixing stuff up on a budget rather than throwing money at problems)
