    Do you mean cumulative cost, most expensive one or the one that is used the most?

    No just how much the bike cost, not bike clothes. Just the actual bike. you can include bicycle computers I suppose but not shoes or clothes or Helmets...

    Mine is a Spesh Allez (nice beginner level). Can't remember exact cost but your €450 - €900 well covers me. Good poll by the way. I'd love to splash out on one of them "Red Bvll" from another thread. I can but dream...:rolleyes:

    think mine was about 750-800 and great beginners bike. Will be increasing my budget for the next bike though

    Mine has cost me a broken arm, a skin graft, plenty of road rash - you really can't put a price on these things ...:)

    A) Price when bought originally?
    B) What it's worth now?
    C) Cumulative cost of frame, groupset, wheels, finishing kit if you built it yourself?
    D) Value of nearest matched priced factory built bike if C)
    E) Saving to health service?
    F) Cost of asparagus?
