    For a bike, I'd buy a Btwin Triban 3 (€400) or Triban 5 (€505) from Decathalon.

    Or for accessories, I'd buy fancy new wheels and panniers for my touring bike and stuff like that.

    Kind of like the look of the Ribble Gran Fondo carbon frame which clocks in at €479. That, or replace my ageing 9sp xenon group with 10sp centaur at €529.

    A Super Record cassette. The remaining 137e would be set aside to save up for another.

    This. Don't really know what it does, but it's absurdly extravagant so I want it.

    Chain guide for a downhill mountain bike crank, innit.

    Steve Pete is a british downhill rider, a 3 time world cup (point series) and 1 time world champion ship (single event) winner.
    After Nicolas Vouilloz (10 time world championship winner in 11 years and multiple world cup winner) he's just about the biggest legend in the sport, in fact, he's probably a bigger legend than Vouilloz in a lot of ways because he's a bit of a character.

    He's old as the hills and still going storng as well.
