my wife actually sat down a few weeks ago and totaled up what i have spent on my rides over the couple years (lucky for me she only looked at the bank statements from one account), she didn't factor in cash, the other day i sat down and worked out what i have spent over the last few years, i think i should probably check myself into rehab.

2004 K2 Attack 2.0 $750
extra crap for it $100

one i don't really want to talk about $100

2006 FRW Northrop 1000 Euro/$1300 *stock
build kit/other shiny bits/protective equipment $2000
"custom" paint job $25

2006 Cannondale Prophet $1400

2006 my Stumpy Comp $2000

2007 Specialized Womans Stumpy Comp $2200
plane ticket to fly halfway around the world to get the exact bike she wanted $900

2007 Stinky (frame and shock only) $700
build kit and some more shiny stuff $1300

Tools $500

Tires/Tubes $150

Trips/lift tickets/shuttles $3000

misc parts (chains, cassettes, grips, ect.) $500

Wrench hours- i wish i only knew

Hours being chastised for spending too much on bike stuff- more than i spend wrenching and riding

TOTAL CASH SPENT- $16,925 (this is just the stuff i can remember)
