Let's see...what has TE cost me

...a bento box for on-the-fly snacking (great invention and not just for fast triathletes) -- $10
...bright color jerseys because dull T-shirts were just not acceptable --$too much but worth it for visibility
...new handlebars because the old ones were too wide -- $50
...a winter riding Surly $800
...a new Waterford $[oh, I cannot admit that price tag]

Oh, yeah, this forum comes with a really, really steep price tag, but like that MasterCard commercial....and the advice, support and commraderie...$priceless
