It started with a kiss
In the back row of the classroom
How could I resist
The aroma of your perfume
You and I were inseparable
It was love at first sight
That’s what Hot Chocolate said in 1982.
Except for me, it was a set of wheels! I got a pair of XT hubbed wheels from the tip for a tenner. It turned out the bearings were FUBAR.
So instead of doing the sensible thing and chucking them in the metal skip, I thought to myself what do you do with quality, but worn out parts?
Build a winter hack bike for pennies to save my nice bikes from being wrecked by Surrey slurry, that’s what!
