i feel for you, i do, we were all there once, holding onto our last pair of 316 slim straight jeans hoping we'd one day fit back into them, recapture those youthful days.
but alas, we have to accept who we are.
"yeah 30mm of spacers is nothing"
"yeah i can take them off any time i want for the club run"
"oh not today, i need to be out of the house"
the eternal belief you will one day "remove a spacer", when you're back at "your summers best" or when "cross season starts"
much like that fine crafted japanese denim you hold onto, a refusal to accept the spacer height is the true height, if anything, it's only going to get higher as you're in your 30's now, and backs are not known for getting stronger with age.
