What are your retro bike plans for 2024.

[youngsspeed]

I aim to finish my MC Shockwave MK1 build before the Sea Otter rolls into Monterey.

Trying to keep it simple

 

[PhillB]

I have 3 or four project build for later in 2024 when the weather is a bit warmer, in the meantime, I aim to ride more and save for a bigger shed!

 

[PanoIgano]

Finish two ongoing builds (American and Specialized M2) and take f break with it all as soon as the weather turns good!

I know super optimistic as always.

Ride more and do a week bikepacking trip.

Do a retro race.

Find new interests / hobbies to spend my time with…

Looking for assistance again from the North American brothers to get my bikes into the UK so I can build them... PLEASE PM if you have any ideas.

Also, making room for aforementioned bicycles by finding new homes for around six bikes/frames.

Why make plans then pretend we aim to follow them , we all will spend money we don't have on bike stuff we don't need ...we can't help it .....!

 

[Bike Hoarder]

Yes complete builds
Yes start builds

What do I really want to do this year? Ride, ride again, ride more.

Seriously though, new years resolution - get stuff done, finished, completed, so I can finally spend time with space on my hobbies!

 

[Once A Hero]

Get fitter - which I’ve started on

With the aim of riding more, including the retro race at Malverns

Im glad you all have some aims for the new year. I know some people doubt the point in making plans and resolutions, but, I personally find if I don't make an action plan I will just drift....quite happily!

However, if I make plans, I'm pig headed enough to force myself to stick to them! Its got me into all kinds of situations over the years, but I've also acheivied more than I thought i ever would as a result, from academic stuff, to marathon running, to house building!

So, keep strong guys and girls and dig deep into those reserves, use the renewed energy of a new "blank sheet" year ahead and motor on with those projects.

Think how good you will feel when they are complete. The other option is looking at the sad pile of parts next Christmas and disappointedly thinking....."oh, maybe next year"

The year has started well, I've already turned down a Giant CADEX CFM2 on the 1st of january.
Instead of cleaning, refurbishing and ride it for couple of times of the usual mid-range bikes that most of my sparetime is spent on, I'd like to explore my technical ambitions.
Build wheels, spraypaint frames and master the art of decalling (is this a word?) ; saved up budget is spend on a cutting plotter.
And if there is some time left, I will rebuild a Voodoo Wanga frame ........
