Please tell me which sentence is correct:
1)It took me more than an hour to repair my bike.
2)It took more than an hour for me to repair my bike.
3)I took more than an hour to repair my bike.
Thanks in advance.

#1 & 2 are the same. #3 is grammatical, but slightly different, implying a value-judgement on the speaker's part that an hour was too long for this task, whereas #1 and 2 are simple non-judgemental statements of time needed.
