Retro Newbie
First off, hello all, new to this forum.
Met a few of you the other week at the Purbecks ride. Really enjoyed riding my alpinestars for the first time in 16 years, can't believe how good a rigid bike felt after so long. Shame about the stem cracking as that brought my fun to a premature end - could have been much worse.
Now the dilemna- I now want a modern rigid/short travel hardtail and am struggling to fund it. First to go will be the on one 456, then the 531 raleigh retro road bike and probably the Alpinstars too.
Anyone got any idea of what it might be worth? as i won't get rid of it if its not worth it. Photos on the Purbecks thread.
Thanks Rusty.
