The demographic of retired, capable of riding a motorbike is a shrinking one. Used prices of classic iron were silly and are a lot more realistic now. Norton Commandos at 10 grand, 60s Bonnies at 8 and up....across the board everything was ridiculous. £2.5K for a CD175, superdreams 2k. I would...

We probably imagined what? We had 90 odd years of radio telescopes and with them we've intermittently surveyed less than 1% of the observable universe - and the amount of 'observable' is expanding. Fermi didn't say 'we are alone', he asked 'where is everybody?'. 'We are alone' is one...

What does this have to do with the Fermi paradox? Or were you just taking the piss?

The criticism of the Fermi paradox is his sample data is extrodinarily little and in cosmic terms he's not listening for very long. If you turn on an analogue radio between stations, listen for 5 and just get static, can you conclude radio stations do not exist?

It's certainly the official line in debunking most sightings. Even by USAF blue book metrics, it still leaves 5% of all sighting with no explanation. And then theres the sightings from history, such as the Pilgrim fathers recording transmedium objects at sea many moons ago.

Exactly....which is why I'm doubting we'd get the full skinny on 3iAtlas. And if there was some revelation we'd either not care or not believe it, or more likely both of those states.

...It seems not to be contained to the US - more that the US is the only country to formally investigate the phenomenon - and now these hearings. *Allegedly* the first UFO recovery is the Magenta crash from Italy in the early 1930s...Grusch talks about it. As for keeping a secret....there was a...

David Grusch ( whistleblower) outlined the US governement has a threshold to admitting that a UAP is the result of 'non human intelligence'. To deliver that assessement, someone from said government needs to visit the facility that made the craft and confirm that its not humans who made it. :D

...about that.... So I don't think we'd even be told. It would need to land on the building site of Trump's ballroom to get news coverage. And look at the amount of sh1t Avi Loeb is getting for suggesting it *might* be of alien origin - he has been ostracised from the wider scientific community.

Its not just bikes, its old motorbikes and cars too. Nobody wants to part with cash right now and unfortunately, close clearance race bikes with no mudguard eyes are back of the line for what cash remains. Elsewhere in this forum a very smart Mercian has no bites at £195. I consider myself lucky...

Been around for a while. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/cyfac-in-manchester.495897/ A price drop though - was £459

Unfortunate indeed. Still worth the revised price for parts.

Original fitment on a folder I bought. Neither micklin nor mucklin ie meh, functional. Swapped out for Deore Vs in the end.

@bhill22 I would just find space for this, any space and wait things out for sunnier days. I just wouldnt let this go for £195, its a travesty and an insult to you and the builders at Mercian

Seems gone already.

I get it @marshalllucky . My first racer was a 1983 Pug Premiere in pearlescent white. It was the time when I started reading Cycling weekly and as most of that bar the cover was B&W then, the team Pug bikes ridden by the Anglos (Millar, Roche, Anderson,Yatesy, Piper) looked great even in grainy...

For now certainly. If you needed a 122mm Stronglight ISO taper 68mm BB your options are ebay, bikejumbles or here. The last two options require a massive stroke of luck. The way things are going - including @Betsy s point on fake stuff - points to an implosion of ebay at some point. Then its up...

Involuntary bidding battles and people paying more than they can afford is bread and butter for the auction industry. I worked for two years on the trad auction side (a well known trad auctions website) and saw a few things that made me want to get out. The use of 'house accounts' to...

Agree. I tend to think if the seller really though these had the value asked, they would have gone into far more detail and tried to sell individually. Instead they've taken the strange path of job-lotting them but seems they will sell individually. I was once thinking of bringing in van loads...
