I have sworn off buying any more components or framesets. Nonetheless, this remains my favorite thread. The icing on the cake is that, in order to actually use anything I may buy, I or someone
else
has to come north to get it. I already have a significant srash up there, awaiting open borders and safe travel. I don't expect that time will come soon. Be well all.

that's what we all say at one point in time or the other. We are all as self deluding as we are enablers

Frames no, components to dress the frames I have, yes. Let’s see how long it lasts.

I’m never going to stop, I enjoy too much. I just don’t let it consume me, a couple bikes here and there.
