I've never?

[Lhatch4]

I have restored and sold bikes for years as part of the hobby. My goal is always to make a small profit to keep it going. Over the past 9 months I can't move anything. I have 3 complete projects that are listed for sale. One more that needs to be built. No one is interested anymore.

I’ve never owned an MTB with Shimano or Suntour components.

After decades of clunky shifting and compatibility hassles, I’m beginning to feel a chump..
“look at the finish on that Campag mech!” and “those bearings last forever” just isn’t as convincing as it used to be

I usually find at these times the customer you are aiming for is yourself.

Anyway back on topic I’ve never…

I think the same as you, very pretty but just not as good shifting. We will both be burned at the next available stake No arguments please gents, just a personal opinion. No offence intended to anyone. Ride what makes you happy, peace

I can’t say goodbye though, - it’s a love/hate thing!

Delicious hubs. Have you seen the L.F. Euclids? https://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=d050e6d2-1679-46cd-aeb2-097e4d62fd1f&Enum=110
I’m currently converting some LF Nuovo Tipo’s for a ‘83 MTB (I loves the holes)
