Owning your own home

If you’re minted you just gut the place and do what you want as whatever you put in is likely better quality than whatever was there before (@Dammit’s serotta or whatever being a reasonable analogy?)

Tl;dr: I feel personally attacked.

I've spent around £2,000 saving the frame of my original CSi and bringing it to "as new", it's had new seat stays now, plus a Colourburn paint job, on top of what I did when I bought it initially.

It would have been significantly cheaper to have ordered a modern steel road bike and then have "Serotta" painted on it.
