What are your retro bike plans for 2024.

[GavinD89]

2024 Plans...
1 - Like many others, have a bit of a new year sort out and sell a couple of bikes.
2 - Race the old bikes as often as possible starting with the retro XC race at the Cannock Chase Winter Classic next month! Also, really looking forward to the Malverns retro XC race which should be amazing!
3 - Try not to break any bones this year

I don't find riding an issue fortunately. See the winter bike thread

Thank you They're all used by me depending on purpose and weather conditions (apart from the FAMILY folders of course )

It's so much more convenient to have 2 versions of the same bike set up for lighter use and winter conditions. We just about have enough space...

Nice collection dear

of 7 bikes

@Mrs GIGFY it's a nice start, however, 7+1=8. Seven is a nice number, lucky, but perhaps a little too lucky? You could use another. But then you'd be at 8, and everyone would think that you failed in your attempt to reach ten, so maybe two more, but then it's just another couple to a dozen, and have you heard anything about a baker's dozen? Oh shucks, unlucky again at 13, 14 is one shy of 15...

1. Keep on riding
2. Ride and complete the SWXC series
3. Malverns with Kona (subject to them being there)
4. Have the Misser Replica finished

Some regional group retro rides even small would be good, lots of friendly, often eccentric people on here - it would be good to see again

I just heard from the arbiter; you are a cyclist, not a collector.

This is currently waiting to have canti studs added, then the bb shell narrowed and rethreaded to allow me to use a square taper chainset. Hopefully ready for the World Single Speed Championships in Germany….

i would like to finish one half of the builds on my list this year.

Realistically, my target for the year could be similar .... I will probably half finish one of my builds.

I guess if I find somewhere I can paint my Raleigh (and then actually repaint it) that would be progress enough.

My 2024 retro bike plans

1) for this week: finishing a 1991 Look Mi80 based build as I need a bad weather bike
2) for this month: finishing a 1995 Trek 7900 (700 C bike) based build as I need a workhorse
3) we'll see what the year brings.
