And today I did......

Technically as your building a new bike to reflect old tech then under the definition you are building a retro bike. I was never entirely sure Retrobike was a good name for this site but its stuck and its distinctive so what the hell, maybe the Oxford English Dictionary can describe a retrobike as something different from the definition of the term retro.

Get your bike's bloodline registered now - only £350, and comes with free valve cap for the early adopters.

All I need now is a blazer and a 500 page book of simplified regulations.

Serious enough, and it would appear that the above book does exist as it was quoted from earlier.

Apologies, due to a rapidly changing mood (i'm mildly hypermanic) and imature personality (look up symptoms of XYY Syndrome) I do tend to argue for no good reason. I know I do it but dont often actually notice at the time I'm doing it and thus the pedantic drivel explodes all over the place.
Sorry, cant promise I wont do it again but sorry anyway

Based on what I've just posted, you could just not bother to read and save a few brain cells. After 44 years I'm used to folk rolling their eyes and ignoring me
