Purchasing - Cold Turkey - How long can u go ?

[kingrollo]

I get paid friday - I'm trying to see how long I can go without purchasing anything cycling

Anyone up for a little contest

My new year resolution a couple of years ago was not to buy any cycle related stuff unless it was needed,cable tubes etc.I saved a lot of money then blew the lot on an ultegra group set after about 4 months

I've not bought a new bike for 14 months...

Im really struggling already - I tried a wahoo kickr at the weekend - and whilst that is well beyond my budget - I just been informed that I can get started much cheaper than that....
must resist - must resist

Me neither.

 

[vickster]

Me neither.

It's a record for me though. I'll be contacting Guiness later

I find it a touch weird when there's nothing to procrastinate over.

I am resisting buying new wheels until I know what's happening with my Bianchi. Really hard stopping myself at present.

Any more feedback from LD?

Had an email from them yesterday, with the name of the person dealing with my case. They are about to send the claim through to the gentleman's insurance company. The standard 21 days being given, as you no doubt know from experience, for them to respond. The tone of the letter appears to be softening me up for them telling me that this should go down the criminal offence route. They have been up front with me from the start, in fairness, but still prepared to give it a go on my behalf first. Will post in the other thread once I hear more. Cheers.

I had a response much quicker than that...3.5 years ago

I don't make it to payday - thanks to CRC and Wiggle excepting PayPal "pay after delivery"

I cannot remember my last bike or component purchase, I am though lucky that others buy bits for me quite often.

Wow!

Wasn’t sure from your response what you actually meant. I get it now and it’s not good news. Gutted for you.
