I'm dumping it into a new bike. A Cannondale Rohloff.

Don't think I'll get much money back this year, if any. Probably not any.

Re: Tax Return Season.. what will you buy?

I'll be getting a sweet refund this year..... unfortunately I won't see a dime of it. It goes towards paying my Property Tax in June, and paying off my Wife's education

No TC Kline Coilovers for the Coupe

Filed my taxes 2 days ago. I get money once again(not to brag). I have yet to ever pay. I made almost $20k more this year and yet get the same amount for a refund. I will put $5k toward my savings and buy a metal skid plate from diesel geek. The rest I can use on my trip to Thailand.

The evolution plates are cheaper and imo better.
For me hopefully I get a return, should have lots of daycare etc to write off.

Sold the motorbike and put the money into rsps so the refund for that will buy me a nice cervelo tri-bike.

If you're always getting huge amounts back and it's not from rsp contributions you're tossing away money. It's best to owe the gov and make interest on it while you wait to pay.

Re: Tax Return Season.. what will you buy?

All I can say...

If you are getting a refund, you should stop over paying the government in the first place....

It's 2K which is unfortunately about where the high end intermediate stuff starts. It's not even carbon.

I sat on a 7K mountain bike a few months ago. That's more than my 98 ZX6R sold for!

What makes a bike worth that much?

Re: Tax Return Season.. what will you buy?

Same as wheels: Low Weight, High Strength or Low Cost - you can only pick 2.

But as with most toys or performance equipment, as you get higher end, smaller and smaller increases cost more and more. You can buy pedals for 70 bucks, or pay 200 and save 100g. Titanium or CF parts/frames drive prices up as well, same as for car parts.

A good mountain bike is min 800+, no way around it. Full suspension you're looking at 1500min. (That mountain bike quoted above is probably 3K or more).

Re: Tax Return Season.. what will you buy?

I really starting to think i should get a bike now. Tax return wouldn't cover it, but it could go toward it. I was at Bow Cycle yesterday, and got a little excited. Anyone here mountain bike much?
