At a time filled with cars with loud exhausts, I sold a Klein Pulse with Judy SL's, full XT for £125....

...It was perfect. So light and everything was immaculate. Forgive me :cry:

I've used ahead converters instead of quill stems.

Please forgive me, only now do I see the error of my ways. :roll: .

Forgive me as I secretly like looking at the latest Evans catalogue while sat on the throne.

Gave away my '91 Fire Mountain - had been updated with STX-RC and odds bits of same era Deore LX.

I did keep the saddle, original push-push shifters which are now on a '92 Cindercone - which hopefully counts as some atonement.

Threw a USA made Zaskar frame in the trash in the belief that no one would want such an outdated frame. This was also pre-ebay for me!

 

[paulwakinshaw]

sold my Marin Hawke Hill which was rebuilt with LX everything and quality mavic rims for £150 to fund buying a Triumph Spitfire 1500 car

what a moron I am :shock:

where is it now? :?:

I sold my 91 Stumpy that I'd given custom paint and covered in campag and x-lite as I couldn't pay my rent.
A mate then bought it from my then landlord and its now all rusting away in pieces in his back garden.
Ever time I offer to 'clear' it for him he says he's going to start restoring it next month...this has been going on for about 5 years now

Have you ever thrown a White porc in the bin?

Or given away an entire XT 730 groupset with Mavic M7 Oxygen rims because they were old?

Left an original, mint, year 1 Flite saddle in a room with a puppy labrador? And then return home to find the Flite in roughly 300 pieces.

I'll not go on.
