Random Question Thread

I've been meaning to ask this for a while but always forgot... have any bikes ever existed with the drivetrain on the left hand side?

Also, in the For Sale section it states 'Nothing too dodgy please'.

So what level of dodgy-ness is allowed until it becomes too dodgy

I've seen BMXs with LH drive.

Random question - NOS parts, you know, proper ones in boxes... At what point would it be a shame to fit them, or heaven forbid ride them? Value? Type of part?

I suppose if it's something that's needed to complete a build and you're struggling to find an alternative then go for it.

We only live once and money isn't everything!

I'll reply to the left side drive question with another question. Why?

Are you asking why I'm asking?

Is it possible we are misunderstanding each other? Was I not clear in my question?

(Sorry, tough to post in only questions without it seeming like attitude! The question I intended was more "why bother with the pedals? It's a motored cycle")

Are they bike parts or display pieces? Do they cease to be bike parts if they never go on a bicycle?

How long can we continue speaking in question form?

Now (although it is a question thread).

I'd imagine though if you used a chainset the opposite way the pedals would become loose.
