I ws going to write a long post, but what i have to say is simple.
2.You shouldn't be angry with the forum, they've been towing the same line for the whole time. You should however learn from this, and i would suggest you start building a bike, for a small amount of money, just to learn all the skills and costs.
3.£550 for a 2nd hand frame ( even with new wheels) is ridiculous. My brand new BJ, with bulletproof wheels was less than that, and its only been ridden by me, ever. I know what BLB are like- i went and said- how much is a frame, your cheapest frame and they replied- £150 for some shitty looking pile of crap. They had some good advice however, and i heeded it, but with this thread, i aint going back.
Finally, if you're happy- and i mean truly happy with your bike- it doesn't matter what anyone sayd. full stop. just enjoy the riding, and no one will knock you when they see you.
I just hope that BLB are as decent as my LBS (where i picked up the Bob Jackson)- i rode in the other day and said that I'd like to change my sproket- and was truly amazed when they pulled out a new one, swapped it over with my old one, whilest i was waiting, and didn't charge me anything, at all. Fucking legends. You definitely deserve it after dropping £1000 there.
