Can't beat the feeling

Sadly too posh round here for bike jumbles.

Either that or not enough hipsters.

You only have yourself to blame.

The memories of spending hours in OnYourBike and Rayments in Brighton, looking at the same bikes as I had done the week before - scrutinising every last detail. Seeing if they had the latest widget or trick bit in that I'd read about in MBUK/MBR/MBi to feel it in my hand. No chance of ever being able to afford it, but that and the heady smell of GT85 and new rubber was the stuff that teenage dreams were made of. Walking out with an ano bottle cage bolt to go with the one I bought the week before. A few more weeks and I'd have the complete set.

Every once in while my ebay trawling takes me back, or a random post on here about a long forgotten bit of kit or rider.

Happy days. Night and day from bike shops (in the main) of today, much is the shame.
