I've got £100 burning a hole in my paypal account and I'm itching to spend it! Just don't know what on….

A Garmin Edge 200 seems like a nice place to start….any other thoughts??

What's the best bike part or upgrade/whatever that you've bought for £100 or under??

No, live like you only have a few weeks left - spend it on lottery tickets.

Hookers and booze, obviously.

May not get you all that much, mind you.

CaptainFlashheart - I like the sentiment - problem is I don't drink but even taking that out of the equation, I wouldn't get much for my money -

Reminds me of the famous George Best quote about how he lost most of his money on women, booze and drugs and the rest of it he just wasted…..

Depending on the type of riding you do, whether you stick the bike in the car or not etc. but I found the Dirtworker to be a revelation when I bought it.
Ride - clean bike - stick bike in garage. Job done. Love it.

Workstand.

Decent waterproof

re: Edge 200.

Extend your budget to £129, and get the 500.

Posh shorts, Assos or the like?
A taster session at a velodrome?
A new saddle?
Or on a non-bike note,
Steak, lots of steak?
Cake, lots of cake?

A really nice meal for both yourself and a someone who needs it maybe more than you do?

Add another £30 and buy some north wave Arctic boots. The best purchase by far I've ever made for all year round riding ever. Seriously. No more cold toes.
