    Just been out with I guy I used to train with in the mid seventies. He has also just returned ‘The great bike race’ after thirty odd years.
    But the shocker is the price guide he gave me, this is a 1981 though, but the prices! BB’s £72.45 Campag brakes £92 Campag chainsets from £75 to £229.50!
    Compared to wages then that’s flippin expensive.

    Inflation has gone up by 142% since then so the BB today would be about £180!!!!
