Rubbish....

You cant you wont you shouldnt.

RE - RECORD DONT FADE AWAY....

Well, don't know about that but since working at 'that' bike shop last year, it still makes me angry. Everytime I pick up a tool and start work, I'm sprited straight back to that awful workshop. Even after 5 months it still burns! Add to that the fact that resources have all but dried up makes it no fun anymore. Sure, the odd bit turns up but to what end? I'd rather concentrate on riding more. Something I've neglected over the last few years. I't doesn't mean that I'm flouncing off either! And, if anything exciting does turn up, it will be posted here as always.

What made working in a bike shop so bad LGF, i would have thought you were in you element, ?

glad to hear you are are"nt going anywhere, and more riding can only be a good thing..., grab a camera and take lots of pics,...

it'd take something truly spectacular for me to start "building" again, given i already own a spectacularly good bike.

i enjoy the actual act of spannering, it's just that i have broken the cycle of acquisition.

you'll be much happier with a couple of really lovely bikes. I'd have to go full custom to get any better than what i have.

Very presumptuous to assume happiness is involved but I get what you mean.
