As the title says when does one stop and just get a new bike. I was perfectly fine with my bike until started trying to race. Due to my weight I had to get new wheels $350, I'm currently running Sora but I'm starting find out that I just might need to upgrade $200+, I'm also thinking about getting a new fork $100+........

Right now I just don't have the loot to drop a new bike, so a part here, a part there is the way I'm going now. And part of me likes having a bastardized bike. As long as I'm comfortable and everything holds up I'm good.

Anyone else in the same situation?
