If you were given R6000 ($400) to spend on your bike/s what would you buy?

Just out of interest... 

 

Post links or pics. It doesn't need to be worth exactly R6000.

 

I wouldn't mind a pair of these: http://www.competitivecyclist.com/fizik-m3-uomo-boa-shoe-mens

I would get a 11 speed SLX drive train

Hmm. No upgrade necessary. Give me the cash and I'll submit a leave form at work for one month unpaid leave. Use the R6k to live...and starve I guess.

Now I can ride the bikes for one month solid. The training would far outweight the benefit of any material purchase.

[EDIT]: Is that not how this hypothetical works? :3

I would buy a Garmin Virb Elite and Jabra sport Pace Wireless earphones. Bot on my wish list at the moment!

Racing Quattro wheels for no real reason but they pretty. 6k for shoes is madness. I'm a fan of spending big on kit to get great stuff but 6k , no chance.

= 30 CASES of Windhoek (bottles or cans).

 

= 32 cases of Castle Lite

Very precise! Carboloading?

[popcorn_skollie]

With the way the rand is looking next year this time I'm getting the best set of grips I can for R6k. Well, I hope...

A Thomson XC Carbon straight bar and a new Specialized Phenom saddle.
