lol, driving all over the country to races and shuttling to the top of the hill constantly-the flights overseas were the real budget killer.

I used to budget $15k a year to race mtb,and I got free bikes and a lot of free gas.

After years of doing things as cheaply as I could out of necessity I now take pleasure in buying more expensive gear if I see a benefit, eg weight,longevity or just working better.
Most of my stuff...
