so, say you were to receive a grand, somewhat unexpectedly, and were in the position to be able to spend the lot on things for yourself; what would you spend it on? bike related, but not a bike itself...
Obviously Some nice coke and a few hookers..
For me it would be a new frame, it's the weakest link in my bike at the moment.
Week in the alps
Wahoo kick'r
A custom titanium hardtail frame and if there's enough left over, rims for the fatbike.
A tent and camping gear?
YHA membership.
Nice camera.
A really good two weeks in Ireland?
Or a Brompton.
It's not really a bike, more like ridable luggage.
£1000 on Haribo.
covers flights for me , the mrs and the bikes to malaga - where i will head into granada and ride my bike round the trans sierra nevada trail for a couple weeks.
Somewhere guaranteed sunny and 28 C
Defo a week in [url= http://bikeverbier.com/ ]http://bikeverbier.com/[/url]
How about a LeJog, visiting some great vegan restaurants and hotels?
Or how about WWOOF'in for a while?

God daughter found it an an ideal way to turn a few quid into transferrable skills whilst seeing new places.
We did a week this summer.
It's fun.
🙂
Pay off some of my debts so I can do a smug post in the other thread 🙂
a really nice used watch. You can wear it riding so it's bike related right?
I'd buy this place from Mrs Blenerhasset, & knock it down.
5 points anyone...
If there's nothing on your bike that really needs fixing then a trip abroad biking.
A sleeve.
At the moment nothing until I decided there was something I actually wanted then I could buy it without a second thought.
I could do 2 holidays abroad with £1000 and have change. In fact I am - Spain Next week and then Alps in Summer.
that's with my own money though unfortunately
I would find a way to spend even more time this summer with Bike Verbier.
20 minutes in Saxonrider's DeLorean
TT bike. Just got a hankering.
Mizen to Malin Head CC tour via the north and west coast.
&
Seiko SKZ323
An Aerocoach session.
TT bike. Just got a hankering.
I like to think I'm at least partly responsible for this 😉
some Cadovious shelving or maybe some Kai Khristiansen.
if i could find a bargain then a real not repro Finn Juhl spade or chieftain chair
@takisawa - and the finest wines known to humanity
Three weeks accommodation in Le Bourge d'Oisans .
Coke and hookers
I'd buy a jukebox, to liven all you stiffs up a bit.
*pockets £5*
OP said it has to be bike related! Otherwise I'd obviously use it to pay off some of the mortgage 😉
Coke and hookers for me too. If there was any left put it towards a good divorce lawyer!.

More sensibly, not another bike, probably a mini trip with the missus and then another mini cycling trip, and some camping kit for me...
I'd absolutely bloody love a holiday. Never been bothered by them really, but by really want one now.
Wake up somewhere warm, go for a pootle on some dusty singletrack taking in new scenery & widlife, eat some local food, have a swim, potter about somewhere, more food, then enjoy a drink watching sunset and looking at stars on a warm evening until the early hours.
..and repeat for 7 nights.
*sighs*
Cake and hookers.
Summer Euro trip.
Could I get tits for a grand?
You could get one.
Hmm. Get a loan for the other? The get one gift tit one on tick tit trick?
Get someone to splash out on the other for you.
Dirty boy
If you gave me £1k and told me I had to spend it on bike gear I'd get a Lyrik and a Fox Float X2 for my enduro bike to jazz it up a bit.
You're not going to give me £1k though, I bet.
I would buy a Osprey Farpoint 40 flight bag, thats £75 with my YHA discount and put the rest in my current acc so it looked better every time I checked.
A new sump guard for my rally car, some race overalls, then a silenced .410 shotgun, probably enough left for quite a few cartridges too.
