Please can somebody talk me out of it .....

lot's of clearance offers at the moment and may be able to get a new frame from US for sub £1k but I know that this will then mean lots of evenings at the laptop sourcing new bike bling and evenings in the workshop fettling with the new steed.

Mrs B wants a new bathroom 🙂

Bargain! Stuff the bathroom.

I paid 1800 for the Tracer 275 frame - not quite the same bike. Ace bike BTW.
