How much did you spend on your main bike, total?
Kind of a lame question I know, But I was just curious.

The bike: $1050, give or tax a few dollars, tax included
The wheels: $667
TOTAL: $1717
The other bike: $300
Maintenance and such: ~$800 (amortized over two years looks nicer)
Upgrades, parts and other things: $300-$400
TOTAL: $1400 - $1500
planned purchases
Soul 4.0 for the first bike
Xero XR-1 for the second bike
so that's like $600 right there
