When is it time to retire a bike instead or repairing it?

I mean, "invest"... is that the right word? if ROI is something important to you, maybe look elsewhere for buying stuff? I can get a whole bike for like half of your upgrade budget, and the items listed for a quarter. what I'm trying to say, buying and fixing things on my rig amounts to pocket change so I'm never concerned about getting a good run for money.
