a badge of honor (show your pal ohio how that word is properly spelled,)
jealous of a little punk@$$ pip squeek like you ?
you're one of those guys who ten seconds after you've met someone you've popped off to on-line, you'd be on the ground cowering and shaking, all the while begging forgiveness.
I get money for bikes by not spending a ton. I have a decent paying job, but I just don't go for the latest and greatest. My last 2 frames have been used and were good buys (traded for one, paid about 800 for the other). I buy cheap, look for deals and try to get hookups.
well, up until this summer, my bikes have been a product of christmas/birthday presents, work around the house/neighborhood and also saving like crazy. i decided i wanted to get a full suspension back when i was like 12, i didn't know what it would be, but i knew it would be sick. so, i saved, excessively. 2 and 1/2 years later without having spent more than $50 since i started saving, i was able to afford my bike. whenever i got gift cards from grandparents to places like barnes and noble and blockbuster, my parents would buy the cards from me whenever they found themselves going to that place to spend money. it was pretty torturous saving for so long, i didn't even buy new pedals once my old ones died on my first bike, and i ended up not riding for 2 months because the spindle broke on the right pedal. well, this summer i'm getting a job now that i'm 16, so hopefully i won't be saving so much. maybe i'll be able to afford to go on some trips too, who knows? very exciting, i can't wait.
I use the affiliate programs and Google Adwords to make money. I can go out ride all day, then come home, log into a few accounts and do my work to see how much I made that day. ...I cringe when I think about how if I never learned this stuff I would of had to get a real job.

Then I realized I was an idiot and wanted a fully...luckily (or unluckily, however you put it...) my grandma became to old to live alone in her house and diagnosed with altimers (sp?) so I had to help my parents move her out all summer about 2 years ago (my grandpa died 15 years ago and owned an auto shop, so his garage had been untouched other then my dad, brother, and I...so ALOT of random metal was in their from welding...thats what took so long, heavy.) , as a result...I got alot of money and used that and christmas to buy a bike.
