 Minor bike problems already - Focusless
>> Spending a fortune on a bike won't make it any better

I would rephrase that as 'you don't need to spend a fortune on a bike to make it better' - it's possible to buy better components eg. just a comfier saddle, but whether it's worth it of course is another matter. My commuter bike was £160 a few years ago and so far I've only changed the brake blocks and the rear tyre (which is now slightly smaller than the front!).

>> you need to work on
>> your fitness-not throw money at a bike.

If the bike is more fun/comfortable to ride, or less likely to leave you stranded if you invest in better (ie. more puncture resistant) tyres, then you might be more likely to use it.
