One i justified building a new bike as I had a pair of wheels and brakes

Welcome chap.

I’ve built bikes from looking at a pair of grips the wrong way before now.

It never ends, the need to build, to buy, new or preloved, as long as we can make it fit, we just keep on, a never ending spiral of bikes and parts and excuses.

Great here, I have a habit too

The wife wasn’t happy ? but i am surprised she was ok when i finished work ? Its a great feeling that my work mates don’t understand. You spent how much on a bike that you pedal – the wife says if i give her my i-phone its alright ? Damn i should of got the bars and stem????
