I think my retro bike building hobby may have to go on a serious hold.
Ive just seen a shark fin for sale for £45.00.
Sadly as im not a millionaire, so i don't think i can afford to even finish my latest project, let alone start a new one!
£200 or so to have a bit of fun and build a bike seemed ok, but going on recent prices thats going to now be £600; IF and its a big IF, i can actually find the parts, as less seems to be up for sale either.
As for a donor bike......forget that. £250 for a mid range marin! 2 years ago, i bought a team for £150!
Well.....i needed an excuse to do more riding, rather than searching websites in vane for parts and being a cross between disturbed and infuriated as to the selling price!
