Being a designer / architect a part of my role is to make new things and create a desire for it with potential customers.
But as I've matured and taught myself how to make these things I've also fallen in love with the idea of preservation and repurposing. I love repairing and improving and try to implement these things in my own designs.Obviously I could have just build my wife a brand new bike. It would probably have been faster by now, but there is just something about having "saved it".
My wife and I was giving our old Beogram 1203 turntable away on danish Gumtree. This guy got in touch saying that it was worth a bit more than nothing and that if we wished he'd repair it for us. We paid him £90 to do so and it's better than it ever. My wife has had that record player for 20 years and it is definitely ready for another 20.

I love and hate the difference between us,
old hardrock frame, has a cracked chainstay, best I can do it scrap it without the kit / space to save it.
New stay, new life for the bike... maybe I should look to get things together
