On totting up...

[fossyant]

Just don't ask...... £1200 on new bike (via CTW and own cash) - Garmin just short of £400, two helmets at £100 each, Lights oh £250, rebuilt best wheels £150, clothing £300, bits and bobs £400.

Included in the bits and bobs - No major parts - couple of chains, a cassette, two sets of MTB Tyres, work stand, tools.

That said I did used to spend £250 per month on fuel.....

I'm hoping spend in the next 12 months is lots lower

1 bike, 2 bike computers, 1 bike app, 1 iphone mount (waiting..), 2 tri books, 1 turbo trainer, 2 sets of clipless pedals, 2 pairs of bike shoes, tri suit, magazine subscription.... It's been a bad one but well worth it. Love the shopping as much as the hobby!

33 p******e repair outfits? Why so many?

Thought that might raise a query!

Simple really. I'd had a bad run, and was getting thru the outfits at three or four quid a pop, when I saw a job lot of 33 listed on ebay with a starting price of £4.99, if I remember rightly. 'I bet no-one bids on those,' thinks I, 'after all, who the hell wants 33 p******e repair outfits?' So I put in a snipe bid, and there was one other bid, but I think I got them for about £7 all told, including p&p. So I'll never need to buy another one again! I know, I know...it's a bit tragic but hey, it works for me!
