Yes, selective memory it must be despite the fact that I did the PDI and my name is still on it out there
somewhere.
the bike at grafham that is. not an elephant if thats what you are thinking.
Back to cheap cycling - retro has nothing to do with it, theres plenty of cheaper stuff to be had. Even back in 2011 as I was turfed out of said bike shop, one of the mechanics had bought a little reynolds steel MTB with decent forks etc for around £350 on some sort of special. Zip back to 2014 and an RB member had bought something pretty decent for around £1000 as the company that made it had dispappeared.
Nothing was as good as my £47 Raleigh RSP300
£47! ahahahahahahahahaha!
