I know what you mean. I think the first real bike i ever owned I spent $600. That was the bike that got me hooked. I never looked back. Since that time, every other bike I own or have owned has 100% been paid for purely by the "sweat equity" or my time in other words, put into the bikes. Which for myself I consider my labor to be free. It is not so much about the money, it just helps me acquire what I want as far as bicycles I otherwise would never be able to afford. So I "Sing for my Supper" with bicycle labor. That's it.

There are two kinds of people in the world, "Those who help themselves to people, and those who help people!"
