Following my bike being wrecked while on my car, those bracciano wheels from the last purchase made it to nearly 80km/2 days before being wrecked... Not a great $/km ratio, but biven a car smacked them it's understandable
Pro-lite Bracciano Wheels $419
Prolite Photochromic sunnies $69.95
Orbea Onix $1600
GP4000s Tyres (2) $109.50
Saris Solo Bike Rack $40
New Total $3717.96
Hopefully to be offset by some amount from insurance, sometime down the track...

$95 from Super Elliotts. It works pretty well although we're at the limit of its height so its slightly wobbly if you bump it. When we get a new place hopefully we wont have ridiculously high ceilings.

$123 6700 FD
$128 2x7900 Chains
$180 6700 RD
$128 1 pair of Evo Corse tyres
$146 2x6700 Cassettes
$206 2 pairs of Gatorskin folding tyres
$152 Prologo saddle
$132 FSA Carbon stem
$250 Time RXS carbon pedals
$166 3 sets Time RXS cleats
$25 2 sets of Kool stop brake pads
$18 2 sets of Venzo Carbon brake pads
$400 2 sets of Fulcrum 5 rims
$150 Bont A3 Carbon shoes
$275 Bont A1 Carbon shoes
$80 Used Shimano SH-R14 Carbon shoes
$267 3 Vermarc Jerseys
$169 1 Vermarc 'Foul' weather jersey
$291 3 Vermarc Bib Knicks
$66 3 Vermarc gloves
$72 6 pairs of cycling socks
Total so far (without the cost of 3 visits to the bike mechanics & assorted lubricants)-about $3500, yeah I know, I've included riding gear, but I've not included a new Carbon Fibre frame I had sitting around to a mate who's bike snapped in the rear end, a used frame that I purchased to build for the Pan Pacs (but now mightn't get built because I'm thinking of going back to riding track), no I haven't bought a new bike this year or re-built a frame, my costing is all due to the amount of riding I do.
My money pit is- cycling.
