I am sizing up a Colnago EPS to replace my Ghisallo, that may be expensive...

LOL @ chakaping, I've done that before now. There's always something though isn't there - thought my nicely bald rear tyre would double as a nice summer slick but the recent rain may have put paid to that.

Can we swap? None of mine are running right. Its a bit like firefighting a wildfire, I just tackle the worst so some of them ride less wrong than others ๐Ÿ˜

Ditto, took some time but I'm there.
Now I keep wandering into my garage just to give them a quick lift and a spin of the back wheel before wandering off again.

BUT i've discovered the wonderful world of polish and developed a rag grading system for polishing. Keeps me of the streets I guess.

Oh and I've just remembered why my BMX is on the 'bay. Full face helmets don't come cheap . . . and a pimp white e-thirteen would be nice. Is it too late to delete my earlier post? ๐Ÿ˜‰

just minutes after I bought the last one was planning what to change on it and what would be my next one. You got to have plans for the future, reckon when I stop wanting more bikes and bits for bike my time will be up. Sram Shimano gore all depend on me and the happily deluded people like me. Love bikes love life.

I don't really understand this thread. You mean you are not going to ride them or something? Surely you fiddle/change things when they wear or break, which they will do from riding them.

Always the way eh? gah. Bloody bikes. Don't know why I bother. Be much easier to sit on the sofa and eat cake.

Mick, post some pics of your bikes - you'll get plenty of things that need sorting out pointed out to you so that you can get back to upgrading ๐Ÿ™‚
