Re:
:x :x this is how it makes me feel, i would like to say from time to time but its started to increase. ok so i dont ride,but that does not mean i dont have passion for what i do. not a lot of you know me but when i see a nice old bike that needs saving and needs new life breathing into it ,thats what i do 99% of the time.
people may think i only do it to make money but out of the 8 or so that i have finished i think i have only sold 2,the others i cant seem to part with.if anything saving these bikes is doing the retro scene a service. also another thing that keeps me on a downer it the "how much is my xyz worth" section,do these questions go to some far off distant planet and were waiting for contact from it.
another thing is mtb chat. i put a topic on last week asking about ballistic frames and out of 80 odd views not one reply, someone some where must know something about them on here.
on the other hand i suppose im very lucky as two of my friends both run bike shops, so usually i get first refusal on things at good prices.if it wasn't for these guys i think i would of packed in by now. :xmas-wink:

Actually, I have been giving serious consideration to the idea of a pared down 29er for marginal speed gains to reduce my commute times – I have seen how fast these things can travel. Mind you, I was well and truly out-smoked by someone on a fat bike recently.
