Bit of rant, perhaps.......because well. That red vino is flowing in the vains at the mo.
Let's see something with V-brakes and not XTR M900 cantis with those dreadful spanner requirements, let's see who is pushing old frames beyond what was envisaged at the time, don't be shy about welding a disk tab to a frame not designed for it, *ucked up mash up of "wrong wheel sizes " put in frames with some cold setting to correct OLN, let's see who is filling the gaps between what they want, what they can engineer themselves in a world of make believe marketed off the shelf easy satisfaction, let's see who modernises nut to allen key centre-pull brake converations by putting the drill to the frame and forks, let's give credit who goes to the tip for raw input for inspiration to revive some metal, let's have an outlet for those like early Keith Bontrager minds who raided the skips of Specialized to produce fault free no nonsense designs, let's celebrate backward compatibility, let's celebrate what can be done in a shed with a pillar drill, let's be impressed who can wield a welding torch themselves and let's have some fun with some basket cases!
