Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I bought a turbocharger for the SportWagen last week. But no bikes.

I last bought a bike in 2018 when I got the mtb. I bought a used crankset for the road bike last year but that's about it since I retired in 2019.

Pretty much Bam"s entire wish list. At least the one page version, maybe not the whole thing.

I last bought a bike in 2019, two in fact. Hear me now and believe me later; I don't see myself buying any more ever.
Soon I will begin clearing out the shoeboxes full of spare components

That was my problem with C&V bikes. They were way cheaper, so there wasn't as much reason not to buy them.

I have not bought a bike this year. Last bike I bought was December 15 2021 - the Litespeed. I DID buy the R8000 Ultegra groupset plus other bits to build it up. Since then, it's mostly been better bike clothing.
