help me spend my bonus!
So I will be getting my bonus within the next 60 days and have been given permission by the misses to spoil myself with it. It will be about $1500 after taxes. I need some help on how to irresponsibly spend it. I currently have a decent full squish 2008 mongoose teocali comp with upgraded SLX components and Rockshocks Sektors. I also have an On-one 456 with xt components and also Rockshocks Sektors. Things I am considering is a rigid 29er for commuting purposes/loaner bike/or the need to test my skills on the single track with the rigid. I was also considering a cross bike, such as the super versatile Surly Crosscheck, or something similar. So help me out BF.net peeps!!

C Law. I am not 13. I receive a quarterly bonus for my career, I work as a trader in the energy supply division but I will avoid boring you with any details. Normally I dump my quarterly bonus in a high yield savings for an additional retirement...oops, I said I wasn't going to bore you...my appologies. Now, if you would have some constructive criticism or even better, a reply that is helpful with my thread please do so. Otherwise, have a nice life.

mrgrunt99, look at C Law's location-NY! They need $1,500 per month for property taxes, he is just grumpy.
Congrats on the bonus. Usually a Surly is a good purchase. You can also get a decent 29er front fork. I like Scott so I am attaching my preference.

Money left over for gloves, camelback and new shorts!
