Ok...so heres my problem, as you can see I'm selling my drumset and will be getting roughly a grand for it. Now the trick is what to spend it on (when I get it...)? Im going to Moab, Utah and winterpark, Colorado among many other local cities for 10 days (telluride, ect.) And I've also recently gotten into photography. And on top of that im going on a week long cruise to Alaska.
The problem: Should I buy photography equipment since it will be almost to hot to ride anyways, and take good photos. Or should I buy an AM bike like I've always wanted with the 1000 bucks I'll have (older '05 models, likely) or build a singlespeed hardtail of my dreams. Trick is eventually I'll own the camera gear I want and bike, but which should I have before/for my trip?
The Camera gear I want:
-480EX Speedlite flash
-2 spare XTi batteries
-10-22mm ulta-wide angle Sigma lens
-Slik pro 340DX tripod
-Giottos screen protector.
The bike (or gear):
-Giant Trance/reign, Jamis Dakar, or something else(depends on prices)
-Or build a single speed Atomlab Pimp2
-Or buy new cranks and BB (mines broken), Atomlab pedals, Rock Shox Team fork.
P.S. Im hoping to be getting at job at a bike shop by the end of this week if that goes well...if it matters.
So hand it to me! What would you buy especially for the trip? These are locations I probly wont be back to for awhile, and riding conditions will be super hot, so they wont last long anyways.
thanks
