Anyone else love the sight of a knackered bike

[Jones]

Is it just me who loves having a stinking dirty, badly maintained bike with various knackered but fixable bits shoved in front of them

My brother in law just brought over his Explosif that got nicked, trashed and spent a week in a skip :shock:

Even though I'm starving hungry and knackered after a 10 mile run this morning, a gentle jaunt out on the bike this afternoon followed by 3 mile walk with the dogs :shock: I can't wait to get at it

Frame stripped and cleaned by 5.30pm I reckon

Covered in shit to clean enough to be on the settee in 20 minutes

I was expecting to see a real dissaster

yes - the anticipation of getting something in sh!te order into top nick is fantastic. Especially if you got it cheap!
