Yes, yes…I know that sounds a bit crap, but for peanuts my oldish bike feels all lovely and new again.

Bought a tan Charge Spoon (£15) and some Charge faux-leather brown bar tape (£10) from Evans for my Airborne road bike as the white tape was a bit grotty, and I had to get a matching perch at that price. £25 = instant good. When I gave the Meta a spruce in the summer it cost over £400!

What non-bank bustin’ goodies have you bestowed upon your loved one?
