Here is a page where I record the funding for the bike so far. This is only the money I’ve managed to save, or put aside for the bike. A second hand 675 seems to go for around the £6,000 mark so I’ve got a bit more saving to do before I can start thinking about colours.
*UPDATE – Newspaper was rather late in paying me and so the £400 got swallowed up by bills, hopefully when the cheque turns up it can reappear but for now it’s a mythical £400 like a unicorn made out of money.
Just for fun I thought I’d give a list of the things that have helped raise the cash for this bike, it’s not extensive so far but it should grow soon.
1 – £400 – I wrote a piece about some of the the awful things my ex-girlfriend used to do. It was for a newspaper, sadly they never used it but I still got paid.

slllloooow and steady! there’s nothing to shrug about 400 *which i’m thinking is a bit more than $800 cdn*
more than what I have saved right now…
getting my bike is definitely a pipe dream right now

Yes Leigh, it’s one step at a time. The real danger is spending the fund on other thing.

Put it in an ISA – you get some tax-free dosh on it.
