Time for a rest I reckon, still love it here, but must admit to being pretty much done at the tender age of 50
Sold my trusty M2 and newer M5 also selling off a few bits.
Just keeping some spares that are so expensive now like an XTR Cassette,Shifters, Mech and Brakes
Got a garage queen (hanging from the spare room ceiling actually) my back to new 93 Team Issue Marin and a 93 Merlin Mountain for everyday use
Not boredom by any means, but I suffer from a condition known as Cluster Headaches which come in surprise,surprise Clusters.
Decided that during the periods I am left pain free that I want to get out and about to enjoy actually riding the bike.
Admittedly part of the decision is financial, my daughter has been offered a place at the LSE, so that ain't going to be cheap
Not going anywhere,been here since 2005 and it is without doubt my all time favourite website
The frame and parts buying/selling has almost stopped and no more projects being considered
To be honest haven't really got anything left undone,not seen anything I desire in preference to the Merlin and hoping to wheel the Marin out at the Dutch Oldie World Championships later this year
Going to enjoy seeing all the great builds that continue to surprise me on here and really do think the qualty has got even higher every year.
If I can offer any advice, assistance or help out with a spare part I will, but think that's me done, so keep up the good work
Cheers
