Things I have bought for my bicycle in 2013

I bought a used track bike in the fall of 2012 for the purposes of commuting in NYC. I met some seedy asian dude in LES and forked over $180 bucks. The bike was set up with a fixed gear and track pedals, a crappy seat and dirty handlebar tape.

Here is everything I've invested into this bicycle in 2013


  • new bar tape - $12 with installation at LBS
  • clip on rear fender - $15
  • clip on fenders (rear and front) - $10
  • rear hub rebuild and new bearings 2x - $40
  • white lighting 2x - $16
  • lithuium grease - $5
  • Park Tool Chain cleaning system - $30
  • rear rack - $15
  • REI Panniers - $60
  • Continental Gatorskin tire - $30
  • Inner tubes 3x - $20
Total $243
