Pre RetroBike sins of the flesh.

I used to use bar ends with riser bars. Sorry.

Likewise, but not sorry.

I sold a lovely Ibis Ancotech ti bar, back when I was convinced I'd never need another flat bar again. Today, I have 9 flat bars, and that Ibis would cost me hundreds to get back. :cry:

I traded my first Rascal for a new Manitou 4, back in 1994, but still... Stoopid move. :shock:

I had a great NOS derailleur collection that included Mavic, Sante, Superbe Pro, XC Pro, New Success and Record OR, all in boxes, and I sold them all. I don't think That was wise now, at any price! :cry:

For 2 years my white EWR was owned by a friend. I never felt right without that bike in the house. Home now, so all is well.

I stopped dreaming of summer days on empty trails.
I no longer saw the beauty in ball burnished or anodised alloy.
I no longer saw the appeal in spending a whole day in the saddle and having rewardingly achey legs the next day.
I forgot the simple joys of pedalling down a singletrack trail through the trees.

Me too, for ten years.

Add to this:

Sold my original 90 Clockwork because I'd bought a modern bike (the shame of this one led me to RB)
Sold my 89 Tufftrax to my brother in law. He chucked it in a skip.
Gave away an original pair of SPD's 'cos I thought I'd never need them.
Bought a modern GT XCR4000 that was so pants I never rode it.

Forgive me....
