Actually I think hitting a set of doubles on a Shopper is the ultimate trail centre oneupmanship.

I know he's taking the p*ss constantly, but I'm actually quite enjoying these...

Hoping (PLOT TWIST!) he rides it at the end and falls back in love with it!

I'm sure he won't.

There's also something sort of admirable about his lack of knowledge in regards to the parts he might have once had on it, or how much the full rebuild might be worth.

And I couldn't help but laugh at the part where he couldn't care less what bottom bracket went on it, likewise the choice to run Ules-esque grips rather than track down a legit pair... Just thinking about the attention to sourcing and detail that goes on on here, I'm sure those bits made a fair few people shudder and tut...

I think it is a bit like old race cars, the fans idolise them, the drivers it was just a tool that was constantly evolving and getting battered.

Has anyone, ever, idolised an ATX? Even around these, admittedly, fairly leftfield parts?
