it is infectious isn't it. i started with just my old clockwork found at the dump and now look at my signiture below, it's just wrong!! but right!!! :D


i mean, why do i need them? i don't, just see stuff and reach for the wallet! :( it's just a natural reaction to seeing shiney stuff! :D
 
Since i joined ,i've spent about £700 on retro[ish] bits +two ti frames but i still haven't got a bike thats running :roll:
i was just thinking about extending the overdraft :( :roll: :lol: :lol:

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

that's what the wednesday night Chat used to be for till it stopped getting used :roll:

oh :?

Haha, whenever my wife looks over my shoulder, and I happen to be on a thread you post on, she always makes sure to ask to see your latest avatar: "Does pickle have a new pic?" - your baby has become quite the celebrity over here...her other comment- "He's so cute". :D

He changes every day, so I am keeping a bit of a scratchbook going :wink:

He is just starting to smile at the moment, so I will do my best to catch one :D He'll be 6 weeks old on Monday.....time flies :shock:
 
Damn it!

Just put a bid on an 18" Zaskar on the Bay :roll:

Although, it is the one bike I need in my shed :D

That's cool...mine is due in just a couple of weeks...I was racking my brain researching convertible car seats...just to find out they're really not great for infants :x

ah well...I've spent/wasted much more time researching tidbits of info on old bikes...so I can't really complain.

I think I was watching that auction, but I already have one Zaskar LE boxed and waiting to be built up again....btw, I have a few sets of 8 speed wheelsets, but it probably would probably defeat the purpose with shipping cost across the pond.
