    Better to take a proper photo of it. Pull it off the wall, photo it right side up. Then list in the for sale section. What size is it?

    Why do you collect retro bikes?

    Because bike design seems to more like fashion nowadays.

    This is retrobike. Plenty of people still use v-brakes here. And even cantilevers. So there's that.

    So I'm "aggressive" now am I? 🤨 I disagree. I simply disagree. 🙂 I see what you are trying to do here. You are trying to stifle debate by labeling people with negative adjectives.

    I can only hope and pray that for all the people that now smirk with glee at the planned obsolescence of rim brakes (for road), that they're forced to buy electronic derailleurs or some other invention that they don't personally like one day, or be forced to buy from ebay, then see how they like...

    Well it could be worse jonnyboy. Chin up. You could be a lowly youtuber.😳 I hear you and it's very brave to admit that you live with your olds (and not currently paying yourself much). You wouldn't be the only one. It's a sorry state of affairs, but this cohabitation inter-generational thing is...

    Do tell.😂 What did you tell him? How did you explain it? Rent prices and sales volumes and all that eh? I always preferred CRC too over wiggle. Can't remember or recall why now. Haven't ordered that many things from wiggle over the years, just a few. Seems this has turned into a buying online...
