Do you really need a £3k carbon full susser with TF-tuned shocks and cobalt wheelsets??? Joplin seatposts?
let the argument commence!
I really need one. Lend me a tenner to get started
Expensive? My full susser cost a lot more than that
* puts willy away *
need? want?
My SS cost double that!
is £1350 considered expensive?
F*ck off!
Poor troll.
Do you really need a lot of things in life? i.e. a tv, a bed etc...? I don't think that you NEED them, but they sure are nice to have
i would rather have 3 bikes at 1k than 1 at 3k.
Dunno if you need it to improve your ride, but it works great at work when you said you have a 6k bike 😉
This is pretty low-grade trolling.
its about want not need.
ride what you want
Do you really need a £3k carbon full susser with TF-tuned shocks and cobalt wheelsets??? Joplin seatposts?
No. I'd say you need to spend a lot more than that if it's an all singing all dancing full susser.
3K on a singlespeed for going down the pub on is about right though. 🙄
I spent well over that and didn't get a carbon frame, have I been had?
You don't need the £20k car, the £500k house or the £3k mtb, it depends on what you want, how much you have to spend, and how much you want to spend.
There will be people on here with 2x £20k cars but will spend £300 on a bike and people who will have a £3k car but £10k worth of bikes in the garage. Poor quality troll. 1/10
Yes.
No.
COBALT WHEELS SUCK A$$...... £3000 is cheap....surely we should be argueing over should people spend over £4000 on cars ?!!!!?
done.
Of course I do! I'm worth it 8) Ti rocks dontcha know.
I ain't justifying my bike purchases to nobody 🙄
Wanna pic sax?
No. £3k is not enough. Also, its better to have 2 or 3, more if you can, and one for the wife and one each for the kids... I have just realised why I’m always skint! Not to worry, at least I’m happy. 😀
yep just like i need the other 4 expensive bikes I've got as well 😀
bike bling is my only vice these days.
SPeaking as a shit rider, YES - I do. All the help I can get, thanks
YES
"3k carbon full susser with TF-tuned shocks and cobalt wheelsets??? Joplin seatposts?"
That sounds like a bargain frankly for that, or secondhand
Also (different person), £20k for a car? You make it sound like a lot for a car?
Make it a decentish sized estate with a decentish sized engine to keep your ecomony up on the motorway and I thought most brands would easily tip £20k?
Poor troll, must try harder 1/10 - see kasese for better.

If you buy new cars. The most expensive car I ever bought was £1700 and I went halves with the gf. My bike's total cost is quite a bit more than that now 😛
Thats not really expensive, to me like.
Can you put a price on fun?
How much does a dildo cost these days?
I can ride all day on my Ti 😉
How much does a dildo cost these days?
probably more than an on-one butt plug.
I have had five cars in my life.
Sum total spent buying them would just about buy frame, wheels and front brake of race-bike.
It's all about priorities.
No qualms spending over £5K on my bike, could never justify that for a car, nor indeed afford a car that cost that without selling said bike. (first car cost as much as the gear cables on the current race-bike!)
Having said that, I've mostly driven cars costing a couple of hundred, until my most recent which was couple of thousand. Drove a Ferrari at a track day, I can see why people buy them, and can justify £150K if they want one that much. Same with bikes I guess, £500 bike is great until you ride a £5K all singing one and realise the difference.
There's a Litespeed Ocoee for sale in the Classifieds. Great bike. Live dangerously!
bike rock!
There will be people on here with 2x £20k cars but will spend £300 on a bike and people who will have a £3k car but £10k worth of bikes in the garage.
£700 Diesel Polo... £5k in 3 bikes!
Why would I need to justify my bike choices to you?
I would prefer 3 1k bikes to one 3k bike.
Can we get a new troll please. This one is broken/dull/retarded.
[i][u]To everyone with an expensive bike...[/i][/u]
you are craven rat-brained mongrels.
bike bling is my problem,,,,,,, i cant see any point sticking anything on my bike if it has no performance improvment,,,, i doubt purple anodizing makes anything better 😉
i do have a couple of bikes that were considered v, expensive back in 2001 but now are bargins in ebay does that coount
Can you really get a quality carbon full suspension bike with pushed shocks and CB wheels for that cheap? I've been seriously ripped off!
I've read 3 threads this morning. 1 about a pair of boobs in the background on a shitty tv show, 1 about how hilarious the word 'muff' is and this one, well I didn't read this one as it is totally pointless. The quality of STW is seriously on the decline. 🙁
The quality of STW is seriously on the decline.
I blame tachers and the stoner/CFH/padeo labrat for having the little noisy one banned.
But yeah stw is going down, but at least I can focus on work 😉
[i]but at least I can focus on work [/i]
Same here.
The quality of STW is seriously on the decline.
That implies that it has been high at some point. Which I strongly doubt. 😉
DezB ... surely you just stop reading? Prior to those three aforementioned threads, STW was populated by unadulterated incisive comment on current affairs and carefully constructed discussion on bike related matters? It is the internet after all, lady bits make up 90% of available content ... or something.

I'm sure it makes you jealous that somebody can afford a bike which is over their "skill-level".
I seem to have lost my documentation regarding the approved skill-level / bike setup. Could you pass me a copy?
ride what you want, it just matters that you ride!
my posh bike's worth double that, too. i suppose one could spend £3k to get the dregs of the mountain biking barrel, were one so inclined.
This Troll you speak of.
Does he use flats or Clip in's ?????????
Let the debate commence
I much prefer seeing over priced, over blinged bikes to Chavs in their blinged up death trap Saxo’s…
Spend what you want/can afford/justify, ride where and how you choose, in all honesty the only person who’s approval you really need is your own, impressing peers/strangers with a bicycle is irrelevant… Does my opinion of your purchases really affect you in any way?
Again, Poor troll…
