It's all about the carbon, kevlar, aluminium and tiny little machined parts... every one of them costing more than my first car. I just wish Performance Bike and Performance Cat would merge so that I could at least save on shipping! I am able to use the same GPS on my boat and bike... and sometimes the bike clothes work well under the wetsuit.
It's nice to have a group to ride with and a fleet to sail with. All of the cool mods do a lot less for you than time in the saddle or trap harness.
Surfing, sailing and cycling do have some interchangeable stuff. I use a pair of tri nicks and rash vests under my wetsuits when sailing. The riding helps with fitness too.
My four bikes, RR/Crit, TT, CC and a trainer/commuter = a significant investment. Ebay is my Achilles heel. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
It can get very exy trying to keep up with all the bling.
