I like reading everyone's stories!

I don't have a job but i'm considering working at a bike shop near my house. I'm planning to keep my aluminum Trek for about another year unless it completely gives up. Then i'll upgrade to a Carbon. Like I said in another post, i want a BMC. Hopefully i can get a job while at the same time get some extra allowance from racing. My friend has saved up around $1300 just from racing, but there's only 2-3 races per year which give prize money to Juniors.
