  • Just keep it and ride it! My All City is too nice for a commuter but if I'm riding something for 10+ hours a week I want it to be fun. The answer is to keep the Varonha AND get a retro MTB to mix it up a bit.

  • I'm stictly (self imposed) on a 1 bike policy. I only have storage space for 1 bike, don't ride enough to warrant more than 1 bike.
    I need projects to occupy my mind and hands, figured old/vintage mtbs may be slightly more bank account friendly than keeping fucking around with custom built bikes.

    Winston 1 needs to/should really get powder coated this year, so that would mean stripping it down, posting to Winston/Aurum, that means the ball crushing agony of choosing a colour, and also means being without a bike. If I were to sell it for a decent price then the new owner could pick their colour of choice, saving me the agony/sleepless nights, and colour can be a major factor in whether someone chooses to buy your (ones) frame set.
    Anyhow, it's all just the ramblings of an overactive, under utilised mind.

  • How about keeping one bike for yourself that is custom and really nice and then spent your energy building bikes for other people who don't have the skills themselves, for free? Like you did for that friend of yours but instead complete strangers. Then after the build is complete you take them for a ride. And then that's it. I'd follow that YouTube channel

  • You could build up a nice folder, there’s always space for a custom Brompton and they sell really well if you want rid of it.
