Bo

Oh no Velo, sorry to hear that. I’m sure your mojo will return soon. I’m looking forward to seeing your new full bounce bike next time we’re out.

Bounce Bikes in shed and will remain there until I can be bothered, possibly next year. If I ride off road between then and now it'll be that old Emmelle Alpine l rode at Loch Leven as its still operational and untouched. Cannot be bothered to fettle anything else.

This reminds me of many a retro mtb build....

how about a group gravel ride in October to get your mojo back Velo.

Nice loop round, lochs, fitty, glo, Leven and lochore that I’ve seen a few folk do on Strava.

Also still got the glen farg railway tunnels loop to do before winter.

Certainly wouldn't hurt Keith, I shall await the plans with interest

Here's some light reading I'm sure we can all relate to...

That’s easy. I’ve a saddle and some grips that need used, all I have to buy is a frame, some forks, wheels, tyres, brakes, seatpost and a groupset. No need to buy a whole bike

I've a solitary spoke nipple sat here, seems a shame to waste it ... Oh well.... nothing for it then.... New bike time!!!!

I’m on a strict! 2 out 1 in rule for the foreseeable future . The better half drew a line after my last purchase.

It’s amazing how this rule never seems to apply to the other half’s shoes, handbags etc and it would be a very brave man who dares to mention the cost or frequency of the Hairdresser!

Chaos Theory is best demonstrated by a man without a woman to constrain his interests. SWWBO keeps us retro bikers under control and prevents retro junk critical mass. I nearly caused the implosion of the universe but acquired another partner just in the knick of time....... Phew
