A while ago, there was a bikey fund thread on here. I think it was before the system change and the purge of many threads. The idea of it was to see how much money people on the board have put into the bike industry. I belive we had JUST broken $1 million when it died off.

So lets bring it back!

Post how much you've spent, and the new RM total.


I'll start with a reserved $5,000 on ~7 bikes over the years, gear, race fees, etc.

New RM Total, $5,000

 

[Toshi]

i'll add another 13 in.

new rm total: $18k

 

[MTB_Rob_NC]

Directly to the bike industry? Or bike related? How does travel to biking related places count? IE Moab, Whistler, SnowShoe?

I am probably around $8k, between 3 real bikes(progressively upgrading), 1 road bike, gear etc.

oops RM Total = 26k

 

[DVNT]

how about a 2005 tally sheet on what we spend in the industry.
might be another tool for RM to get more sponsorship for the site.

$30 in race fees two weeks ago.
Monday i spent 75 bucks on videos
today i spent 60 on a crash replacement for my carbon bars etc.

165 dollars in 2005 sofar.

 

[caboverpete]

About 2600 so far in 2005.... probably around 15000 since i started riding.

$4000 on parts(just a guess) and I have a frame sitting in the bedroom needing to be built and maybe a tandem this year.



RM total -- $306,365

 

[escapeartist]

Im gonna guess that Ive spent about $3200 in the three years I've been riding (ouch, that kinda hurt but admitting is the first step i guess...) but when it comes down to it i wouldnt trade it for the world (but maybe a foes inferno with that awesom curnutt fork...)

So that brings the new RM total to.....$309,565

 

[ioscope]

My parents have spent at least 3k on me!! I'm spoiled!


$312,565

 

[downhillzeypher]

$2600 + $312,565

[dexterq20]

I'll go with $10,000. EDIT: This is for everything bike related in the past 6 years or so, not just bikes and parts.

RM total: $324,965

 

[-dustin]

6300.....oh geeze. that's kinda sickening 'cause it's a low estimate, and all my own money (i.e. no bike stuff from parents). just bikes and wheels.

$324,965
+ 6300
----------

new total = $331265
