1) specialized Allez - first proper bike
2) Track pump - obvious reasons
3) Helmet - saved me from serious injury when I had my "off" a few years ago

Studded ice tyres, well worth the money if you live in Scotland.
Joe Blow track pump, better than the park tool one.
Altura night vision jacket, so comfy, almost waterproof too.

I think I was most pleased with what I considered my bargain buys.
Altura Nevis jacket still with the labels on for £20.
Lovely Shimano fleecy backed windproof jersey/jacket. So cosy and well fitting. Again, someone bought wrong size so stuck it on ebay and I got it for around £20.
Pair of lightly used Specialed SPD shoes for around a tenner.

I love when I feel I have saved a fair bit of the new prices and they turn out to be really nice and fit well.

Boardman MX Sport - the bike that got me back cycling after over 20 years out of the saddle.

Garmin Edge 810 - keeps getting me out there, finding new roads and more importantly, getting me home.

Decent cycling shorts - after starting out with some of Muddy Fox's worst, getting a decent pair was a revelation.

Honourable mentions to Continental Gatorskin tyres, Topeak Pocket Rocket minipump and the indispensable Joe Blow Sport II track pump.

1. The Viner. Under £800....what a bargain it was.
2. First pair of Shimano A530 SPD pedals...never looked back.
3. First Fizik Aliante Gamma. Picked on price. That worked out very nicely for my posterior. Bought another for the Condor, the Litespeed has the VS version.

1 Track pump (Joe Blow - other brands available)
2 FSA Omega handlebars - the shape is perfect for me
3. GP4000s tyres - great performance and no flats over multiple sets

[BalkanExpress]

1) The first £1 I paid @dellzeqq 's night time barmy army. It reignited the passion.
2) Cycle Turing in Ireland by Tim Cooper. So many cold, wet, windy but wonderful days in the saddle
3) Third hand brake adjustment tool. 'Cos I only have two hands.

to 1, never quite understood the need for 3, even though I'm a pretty cack-handed all fingers and thumbs mechanic and have often had to work on not-so-easy cantis.
