Yes, I felt very old. I had assumed only crusties liked retro but then the cut off date means that you could ave a 'retro' MTB new for your 11th birthday and only be 27 now. :facepalm:

Its been a great five years, I would have probably stayed in the AV sites and would have got fat and angry.
As it is at the moment, bike building is at an all time low, the tip and car boot sales are devoid (at least around here) of anything interesting. I like road and MTB and find that unless a good project comes along, my interest tends to wain at this time of year.

We had tips around here that used to sell reusable goods like old bikes, I assumed the tip workers got the money from these sales, then the local council banned the selling of skipped stuff and now it all has to be scrapped/tipped and no reusing, I thought that was just mean.
I would have though that summer would be when you got motivated, worm, dry and sunny weather........sorry forgot this is Britain

On a side note, local councils often hide behind non existent 'rules' or h&s bollocks and say that stuff cant be sold on - its all a lie.
It seems to be a worldwide problem:

If everybody complained, something might get done about it.

When I was restoring my old Peugeot to do the C2C ride in 2003 there wasn't any Retrobike, just Mudintheblood, which didn't have a forum, thinking of life without Retrobike is like thinking of a world that only has silent films, or meals that have no cheese.Isaac_AG":2mpxuqdg said:Where would we go? :shock:
