a rambling account of insecurity and lycra

[brocklanders023]

I find one hobby replaces another as I need something to mess with. Used to collect retro Tamiya R/C buggies and that got far further out of hand then I've let my retro bikes.

I've found that I've been through various stages of retrobike addiction that started with seeing lots of shiny toys and getting as many as I could afford. Found that my favourites were made mainly between 1990 and 1993 so chopped out the chaff. Always been an Orange fanboy but I'm getting to the point of owning / having owned all the Oranges from the years mentioned so am confused as to the direction to take next. I can feel another cull coming on and then starting from scratch (except for my Clockwork).

TBH, I like riding retro but also like modern. Can only ride one at a time and my Clockwork does that as well as anything + I'll never let it go so thinking of replacing my modern 5. No doubt my retro collection will be slowly replaced after the cull though as I can't help myself

If I were you LGF I'd thin the collection right down, take stock, then decide where to go from there.

You must give me the name of your plastic surgeon. Amazing transformation in such a short time.

Where do you want it to go/take you.

If your having fun and enjoying it carry on - i know i'm only limited by the number of bikes i can adequately store (otherwise i'd carry on collecting accruing and tinkering) however since finding Rb some 9 months ago (and lurking) i've ridden more and regained my zest for mountain biking.

I've been looking at the pic for some time now & I haven't noticed a bike at all...

I have got rid of most of my collecting bug through my retro games collecting, I haven't bought any more retro games for well over a year now. However my spare room now looks like this;

envy, is the only word i can use to describe my feelings at this moment.

That girl is sorta good looking, but she needs some good cycling musculature to be totally sexy. Put her in a pair of tight hiking shorts and a teeshirt. And, she needs to replace that disgusting makeup with sweat and trail dirt. Then.... YOWZA!
I still have '70s values...
