    Are you ok that is the important thing ???

    Yes is the answer because you are chomping on about it on this forum

    MTFU shake it off and be a man about it discuss about it with the owner of the yard and just get on with life HSE will fugg over folk who are trying to get on and make a living , life is hard enough at the moment without people trying to make a few quid

    "if money falls on my lap as a result then so be it."

    With that comment in my eyes you lost credability

    RANT OVER.

    18 I think you are right look at the questions he has been asked which are reasonable "see revised listing" is not a good answer and he does not want a home collect either

    Musings of a 47 year old duffer

    It is very easy to get misty eyed over your old bikes

    In 94 I used to race a Steel S/works full rigid bike and it was fantastic got some reasonable results to, but I put it into retirement in about 98

    Now 2009 and it is rebuilt Fast as fug it is (still) on smooth bits ie the road, but off road it hurts you get bounced all over the place. With a 130 stem and narrow bars it steers like a barge and shakes like hell on the downs that you cannot brake because you do not want to release your grip on the bars and the canti brakes do not work with 1 finger you need 3 fingers to slow down.

    Retro is short for retrograde.

    Sill a beautiful bike though but not for off road

    I have both the torch and bike light either does the job well

    What you want is bang for your buck and both give you that for me to buy again it would be the bike light every time.
