BITD I got a nasty dose from a girl from the wrong side of town- although I remember it well I wouldn't want to repeat the experience.


yeah but i bet she was dirty ,and you'd have that again tho ?

when i go to classic bike shows i usually ignore the british stuff
and lust after the small jap strokers ,the lc's x7's etc
its the stuff you wanted back in the day ,for me bitd i didn't want a fat
or a ritchey ,it was a zaskar or a pro-flex

But back in the day I wanted Fats, Ritcheys and the like. Even though I can't afford one today I would love to get hold of a series one Breezer or a Cunningham. I will never get one ( or a Zagato bodied Masser either) but we can but dream.

Do you remember that scene in Blackadder where Baldrick is talking about turnips? Blackadder asked him what he would have if he could have anything in the world what would it be? Baldrick glazed over and looked toward the heavens and answered 'My very own turnip'

How we laughed.

I'll applaud an eloquent and well thought out post that generates some meaningful and constructive to and fro, irregardless of whether I actually agree with it or not. What was effectively a rant with some poorly made points that required other people to step in and actually make the points for him? No.

your avatar is giving me the fear ZZ and I have never been given a dose from some burd, I feel like I have never lived

Everybody of course realises that I MUST go out and restore a 10 speed Townsend ATB

Cheap bikes are great, On-Ones and Ragleys are expensive exotica to me and Dr.S makes me laugh, great guy but pete_mcc is a wee bit extreme for my taste

how have you managed to hold your council velo- get in there and give 'em hell!
