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 http://bikeverbier.com/

How about a LeJog, visiting some great vegan restaurants and hotels?

Or how about WWOOF’in for a while?
Wwoof.

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!.

deferred gratification, and I would only have to wait another 23 years to claim my extra £250…

More sensibly, not another bike, probably a mini trip with the missus and then another mini cycling trip, and some camping kit for me…

@Jekkyl – Oi, I got there first 😉

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.

Probably a taxidermy squirrel paddling a canoe.

Pretty sweet.

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?
