How Much Money have you spent on BIkes in 2008?

My mrs is highly attuned to how much bike parts can cost. It kind of works out OK tho e.g. this week came home with a Thomson seatpost and asked her to guess how much it cost. She guessed £140, so when I told her it was ~£50 it suddenly seemed cheap and the conversation moved on :D

I showed my mrs a pair of ambrosio hubs I had bought.
They are budget hubs I said smiling.
40 pound for some hubs, but you can buy a bike for 200.
Smile drops, and I resolve to be less up front in future.
