We need to start a support group immediately, and have a weekly e-meeting...we can call it R.A. (retrobike anonymous), though it wouldn't be all that anonymous

Don’t ask me what I’ve spent the last couple of months cus I don’t know, I daren’t look! :shock:

My shed is crawling with tyres at the moment, spare stems, bolts, a set of forks etc etc :roll:

But, this retro thing is infectious, its spread to Mrs GT too as she now has a 95 GT Backwoods, I caught her looking at the site yesterday and she’s coming to the Peaks!
