...ordered a new frame! 🙂

I can’t actually afford to build it into a bike at the moment, but have spent the last two years nearly buying it and then life gets in the way, (had to unexpectedly re-roof the whole house last year - goodbye life savings, then wife’s car died a painful death and had to be replaced)! I figured if I have the frame, I can stop prevaricating about potential builds and start piecing it together gradually.

...I’m sure those fence panels can be pieced back together anyway...

Is this a wind up?

Solaris Max - can’t get a wind reference but apparently it means “ pertaining to the sun” so a bit ‘weathery?’ I could say I’ll ride like the wind when it’s finished - but realistically I ride more like I’ve got wind which isn’t quite as impressive.

Oh, nice treat! Sod the fence. It'll only blow down again in a few weeks.👍

Yep, it is a bit expensive but I’ve just worked out I seem to by a new bike every 7 years, so it’s cheaper than some 7 year itches I guess! 😉

As for the fence - well I’m sure the wildlife will prefer it nice and open for a while.

get an XL old-fashioned hardtail and it can double as a gate ?

Going from a medium (26) Soul to a large Solaris Max, I’m trying not to think about garden gates! 😳 Or tight corners! I’m sure it’ll all work out though...
