    Could be up for this, subject to usual lame excuses about not making it nearer the time. 🙂

    Today's Ride

    Technically yesterdays ride, and not actually pictures of the ride itself, but the difference smug guards can make. :) Though deep(*) puddles did help clean the T130 a bit. Deep = comfortably above hub level.

    Anyone in or around Pickering / Thornton-le-Dale? Want to make some money?

    So called big collectors belittling smaller.

    Have to say, that Retrobike is refreshingly free of Farbies . Yes we all have differences of opinion on what we each prefer, personally a catalogue build is not for me, but I respect the effort and attention to detail that they require - that bar the saddle, I’ve ended up with building one is...

    Kona AA - something different...

    Should I buy yet another vintage Kona?!

    Only buy the right Kona , anything else is waste. * Defintion of right is person dependant, I have four Kona’s (Fire Mountain, Explosif, Kilauea & Ku), and two “not” Kona’s (Voodoo Bizango & Circuit equivalent of Sex One), next Kona purchase has to be the right one - size and model.

    Am I missing something?

    £ for lb, they’re better “value” the either the middleburns or Kookas. Especially with postage included, they’ll be a “two man” delivery only. 🙂

    Why do you collect retro bikes?

    No, it makes the frame tubes look slimmer. 🙂 No amount of colour trickery will make me look slimmer either. 🙁
