if you had 10 grand to play with?

[mark ellis]

thanks to the loverly tax man...i have 10 grand to spend.

 

currently riding a ninty six 3000

 

if you had the cash, what would you upgrade on this bike? or what would you buy to contribute to a mtb addiction?

[Mojoman]

Spend it on a nice MTB holiday!

[tazman]

I'd settle my credit card

Wow, R10K. So many things come to mind from sensible to silly...

 

You could get some tools and spares (tyres, chains, cassettes, cables and chainrings) and enter a big race or two out of town and make a short holiday out of it.

You could put your bike on a diet and get some silly light wheels or replace your groupset and or bar/stem/seatpost and saddle.

You could get a new pair of shoes and helmet and Camelbak and/or Garmin/Polar.

You could invest in a coach/trainer and a program with a proper bike set-up to work on during winter.

Hi,

Rough decisions like this should not exist. Lighten your load and give it to a good friend and let him worry.

More serious:

 

RS800cx

Edge 705

Compression garments

Light weight wheelset

Double crankset (2x9)

Upgrade to SRAM X.9

Parktool toolset

 

[GTfan]

X-Box 360 and some games

[mark ellis]

maybe this was not a good idea!

 

more confusion than ever now!

 

have been thinking about the XX option, will this be the best approach:

 

rear mech, cranks and cassette to start - will 10 k be enough?
