Dirt Disciple
Covid raised the cost of bits 20%.
On Fleabay.
Iv found the best hope stuff often goes to the states. Big bucks for Ti6 especially
Patience still brings rewards however.
Nothing is unique over 6 or 12 months.
I tend to buy based on condition,
pick up a few mint bits I dont
need but know to be well priced.
Then sell to ease the cost of what I keep.
If you look frequently and the right part comes up in correct colour and mint condition.
If you don't buy it you might as well stop looking.
I would admit stone cold bargains are rare. I find Sunday nights Bin offers good.
We want someone who doesn't know the value right?
I like XTR 970. Chris King pretty colours.
Hope mono mini, m4, Ti6 pretty colours.
Recently paid £40 for a pair of blue lever blades £15 for a red Reservoir cap.
Excessive I know. I know.
Price does not always bring reward.
Iv had a Salsa el mariachi kung fu steel
Which I obsessed over for years.
But was roundly under-whelmed at £400
And went back to a charge cooker £100
In my opinion the better bike. I'v had 2.
Top drawer and top price
Does not mean top performance.
Aluminium is a cruel mistress
