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...

To ride more, enjoy all the bikes more and take some pics in nice places ......and no more bikes......

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

hmmm

Def ride more, especially outside (for health reasons way more have been inside than out). Finish the Explosif - it’s coming upto three years of virtually no progress, mainly because I’d like to say “no more bikes”,

So 2025…
Met Al (among others) at the Malverns
Did not get any more bikes
Did ride more, but almost exclusively inside - whoever designed the human body needs to sit down and have a bloody good word with themselves and think about what they’ve done.
The Explosif has spent another year of me trying to work out what colour I want it to be - starting to arrow it down to five or six.
Seat post still won’t come out of the Stumpy
