Money

yo!

just wanted to know how much money you spent on your lovely bike!

Too much

just a chainring £12, wheel built £50, chain £15 bike £75 brake pads £4

Proper budget!

Road bike - shit loads but its shiny and quick

about £200 with the stuff that is on the bike right now, and another £70 or so in stupid mistakes.

£70

i spend £250 on my old peugeot including the bike itself (the most expensive is the rear wheel that needed to be built for fixed gear), sold it for £200, and then add another £240, got the Bianchi Pista.

I cannot believe how shit my Peugeot is until I rode the Bianchi, I mean it like I've been drinking decaf coffee all my life and finally taste the real thing.

once you go track, you don't go back..:)

How much do you reckon you could build up fixed gear for? including frame et al, under £100?

Oh and is the difference between a converted roadie and a track frame that different?

once you go track, you don't go back..:)

I did, and loved it!

Saying that I'm back to track now.

which one ?

£400 on my first fixed (OTP -& now for sale), budget for the second one is £500 (building it), £700 on my OTP touring bike...

coupla weeks ago I priced up a no-holds-barred bob jackson at cavendish (not that they're expensive, but they have access to good parts): £1400.

BJ frame: £400
v's on phils: £400
Nitto stem/cinelli bar: £100
sugino 75 crank: £150
peddles & straps: £100
saddle & post: £100
sprocket, chain, bar tape tyres, tubes etc.... £150

pedals and straps £100?

toshi doubles?

usually £700-1000 pounds. i swap parts around to much to take notice. even my polo bike has had a far bit of £'s thrown at it, to think of it.

£999
spending a grand or more is mad

Im going all out and spending probably around £1500+ on my new bike. I have ordered a Yamaguchi frame and a HED3 wheel so far. I want top end everything. It will be nice to have a top of the range bike for once (though I am assuming it will get stolen very quickly!)

Nice bike - £1300
Pub bike - £200
Really nice bike - £3500

actual one less than £100
next project, that is in the way, around £500

current bike, somewhere around the £500-600 mark I think. But it has a phil wood rear hub, dura-ace cranks, NOS this, NJS that, track ends. I think i did pretty well :)

yeah sounds like you did! is that that the HHSLP?

I try to spend less than it's value but defiantly spend way less than it's worth.

Bike 5 hundred
Import Tax 2 hundred
nxt time all parts from the UK.

yeah sounds like you did! is that that the HHSLP?

Yeah, it's a combination of several luck-outs. Phil wood rear brand new off the bay for £65 shipped, frame, plus 2 front wheels, stem, cranks, bars, bb, headset, 2 seatposts, saddle, carbon brake lever all for £160, dura-ace 7600 cranks and chainring for £70. Saying that, I've still spent a huge amount on little changes.
