Kona locally before lockdown = 80:00 and worth it
Identical Kona on eBay during lockdown = 400:00 and I think silly money.
but there's a real sense of community on RetroBike and genuine
horror when people jack things up to ludicrous levels. Yes, things will go occasionally for silly money but I hope that the good availability of sensible things and Karma will continue....
Yes, Oranges. I don't "do" any other social media. I've found this site is covering everything bike-related that I'm looking for. Well moderated, decent demeanour, language etc.
And maybe best of all, a huge organic soup of enthusiasm and knowledge.
I've "met" so many nice folk on here. And bought some amazing framesets and components too. Different environment altogether to eBay, for example.
But back to the money thing. This recent overheating probably won't last, it's a perfect storm right now. Folk here know this, and don't want it. So, I think all will be well. Or at least not too bad.
