I Need Money!

sound like a rich kid who think he NEEDS rear disk

just seem a bit like a tit to me

but thats imo

I'm not rich, and I didn't need a rear disc, but I wanted one so I bought one.

Getting money is not hard, it's easy. Everyone does it.

Your 13. At 13, you can either do jobs for family/neighbours, or get a paper round.

Make sure you maximise your cash by buying second hand. I am working on a wiki at the moment on how to make a rear disc mount. It's very long already, and only 20% complete. When it's done, I'll stick a link in here to it. You could make a mount so that you didn't need to buy a new frame, and buy a second hand wheel and brake.

The only parts on my bike I bought brand new are the frame, rear rim and freewheel, but I took the freewheel from my old bike.

Links in my sig, it has cost me £820 so far. Which is a lot of money, but not compared to a new one. Bare in mind I had a rear rim, frame and back brake to sell to knock the total cost down to about £600.

My brother is in the same situation, he had a paper round and paid off the debt for his bike, then quit it. It was a good mornings work for about £10, but if you want money at your age, you don't have a choice.

Get a paper round, or you'll struggle to get your bike upgraded.

Getting paper round soon!

There’s an add in the paper so hopefully they will get back to me :).

It’s the free papers as well so I’ll get more because you have to put the leaflets in them and stuff...

Or maybe just have a big bomb fire every couple of weeks :D. I’m sure it will all go to plan.

Craig :P.

You had the money so you brought one, you didn't ask about quick fixes to getting money. When i 1st started doing trials i had a weekly paper round but i actually did it.... They phone up after you and you can get the sack pretty easily, pah oh well at 1 stage i was getting 25quid a week for 200 papers once a week due to a paymet error :)

That’s well good! 200 papers for £25 how long did it go on for?

That would be lush if that happened!
