As I am new to cycle training (as opposed to trundling along on a £180 hybrid clunker) I am still reeling from paying £800 for a road bike, though it is verrrrrrrry nice.
So cheer me up by telling me how much you've spent.
Betcha there's some big spenders....

It's got a teeny weeny frame and tiny wheels.
It goes so fast compared to my old bike. But it doesn't like potholes much. Shame since Edinburgh is most potholed place on the planet.
When I got on my 'dale it could've been made for me though. These bikes built for girls are great.
I liked it so much I bought the MTB as well
That was 3 years ago.
But totally love them, best things i ever brought.

4 weeks ago I bought a Cannondale R800 2004 £1099 (with wheel upgrade to Mavic Kysrium Elite included)
This is my first bike and move into Tri, im not rich by any means but love nice things and just loved the look of the Cannondales from when I first saw them. Contrary to comments I got at the time of buying I don’t think the ride is harsh though have nothing to compare it to, I gather the wishbone rear forks on later Cannondale somewhat reduces the harshness though.

Have you changed you name???
Oh and is that training twice a day or are you 'knackering out your partner' lol
Saw a beauty at the recent Tri exhibition for £8995!
NINE GRAND for a bike???
And if I win it, who'll be my best friend, I wonder?
chris - i do.... but i was thinking of taking that logistics firm on the ironman austria website up on their offer, just to be on the safe side!!
biking is an expensive hobby if you like nice kit
no kids helps!!!!
Well thats what i should have paid!
Strange though as i look after my bike very well, clean it and all that, but my car cost's 3x the price and i drive it and treat it like ive stolen it?!
when i clicked it there was a quote order form in english (below all the german) so i was going to see what it cost
will probably just do the ryan air thing though - i have a nice hard box
