Yes, all fair points and it's a free country and all that, but if nothing new in content is going to be added and it's just a repeat of thread 1, albeit with some new contributors, then I just don't see the point.
If however thread 1 is removed as well as locked, then I think it's worth resurrecting
The fact that the thread was divisive, I see as a positive, cos like you say, it highlights a diversity of views. Apologies if you saw me saying it's divisiveness was reason to lock it
It's all good.
One thing we can be sure of. The locked thread won't be getting any new content unless it's unlocked!
My understanding was it was locked because of the off-topic pictures and posts. Keep this one on topic and hopefully we will get new content.
I also think that this bike raises a lot of questions about heritage and nostalgia and the companies that want to trade on them. And not just Raleigh. There are a lot of companies both big and small in that business. As the consumers we should be able to have a say. Whether this thread is the place for that, I don't know. Let's see where it takes us if the mods allow.
I'm trying to stay true to this thread and what was suggested on page one... and some very valid points have been raised that need to be investigated further. If as suggested the new Ti 40 is so bad then I feel that the other options to Ti Team Replica ownership need to be considered so that the uninitiated can make an informed decision about what's available to them whether that's Team Replica frames or bikes for sale or restoration services and products available.
