I'm a minimalist expense-wise, but I have lots of bikes - The present stable:
1990 ish Steve Bauer Boreas 12 speed 105 grouped road bike - paid $200 for it from the classifieds from a guy who liked it, but bought a $1500 Bianchi and was really surprised that the Steve Bauer was almost as light as the Bianchi.
1992 Norco Katmandu MTB - paid $90 at police auction about 10 years ago, rode it occasionally, then commuted for 3 years including 2 winters - it's waiting for conversion to a S/A 3 speed because drivetrain is shot.
1990ish Bianchi Poggio 12 speed - SunTour Arx - bought for $17 at thrift store 3 years ago, invested in new tires and tape - This is now my cottage road bike.
For the past year, I've been lucky enough to participate in a "bikes rescued from landfill and sold for charity donations project". So far my $100 donation has given me:
1990 ish Velo Sport Appalache 15 speed touring bike - my present commuter, I've added panniers and lights and new tires
1995 ish Norco Bigfoot front suspension MTB - my racer and bigtime investment, spent $200 on a new front fork, $100 on tires.
It's amazing what people throw out, I don't think I'll ever have to buy a new bike!
