Retrobike resolutions 2025?

Finish something, then ride it.

Update: Finished the Mercian SS, rode it twice, finished a Condor that doesn’t fit me so didn’t ride it.

Smashed it.

1) Failed. Rode less this year than the year before. Not really sure why though.

2) Done. Major clear out and lots of bits that I just wasn't going to use got sold on. Still a few bits to do, but de-cluttering has felt good.

3) Partial. In the two-wheeled context a bit of a fail on account of #1, however as a metaphor for life it's been a bit of a success and a realisation that doing my own thing is just fine thank you very much.

Oh, and I found my Unicorn. 16 years after I first joined here in the hope to gain knowledge about it and maybe even find one.

What is your unicorn?

A 1994 GT Talera with the mighty Alivio groupset and a very rare blue paintjob. A replica of the first MTB I bought with my own money.

In truth, the one I have is badged a Timberline - but it's the same frame, paintjob and kit. The only Talera in that colour I could find was in South Africa.

A build thread to follow...

2025 is the year of less bikes, though judging by being weeks into trying to sell a bike on ebay I might need to give them away

Looks like I set the bar fairly low for 2025 and I do now have less bikes, just not less by as many as I had hoped
