Confession of a modernizer.....

[letmetalktomark]

I have done a bad thing........







I have sold all of my retro bikes......*





My oldest bike now is a 1999 and that has discs (courtesy of Argos) :?





My other bike has five inches of travel at either end :?

Just wondering if the retro things comes in cycles? (Pardon the pun :roll: )

Has anyone culled their flock only to acquire more retroness?

Feell a little bit empty (group hug anyone? )

Hmm.






* I do still technically own my brothers 1997 Lava Dome

I too have sinned!

I'm going modern on a retro (ish) frame, a '98 Clockwork

The build was all down to which forks I was going to use & I have now got a modern fork coming for the bike, which has some modern & some retro stuff on it already, so I broke into the spares cabinet & stuck modern Sram X9 & Sram X7 on it as well

My other bikes are a 5" full susser (modern) & a 1980 Falcon road bike with flat bars.

Am I a retro Black Sheep :?:

I don't think an interest in retro means you can't have anything modern. However selling all your old stuff leaving only a solitary Lavadome is surely going too far :cry:
