Torque wrench on the horizon for me too. How cheap is too cheap with those things? What's the happy medium for occasional use?
Doesn't matter how infrequent your use, if your torque wrench is a long way out you can break stuff. You need two, because there isn't one which can properly handle the ~5Nm required for bars and stems and also the ~40Nm for BB cups, cassette lock rings etc. If you shop around, you should be able to get both for about £150
