Please do.

Laner's a good (semi) Northern lad who has wangled himself a job mixing it up with investment bankers.

We'd have to attack him for the mock-tudor nouveau riche aspect of his builds rather than straight up rich kid jibes.

Also I should just reiterate that I am genuinely interested in this build, that picture of the crushed up steel bike is heart-wrenching, plus this is going to be in my size.

And I was a right lame little 15-year-old, I used to wear Diesel clothes and aftershave to try and impress girls even though I listened to No Use For A Name at the time. A 15 year old who is building up fixie skidders is pretty impressive in my book.

Haha thanks Tom
The steel frame is rideable again, not that I trust my dodgy repairs.

hey... no use for a name were awesome.

And let me tell you chaps, not much has changed in the last 10 years...

I hate this assumption that people who have money to spend on bikes get it from their parents. I know for a fact that Indra isn't a richkid that bags off his parents. But if he were would it honestly be your business.

As I'm 100% you all know, cycling/bikebuilding is an expensive hobby, but it's also a seriously addictive thing, and like with any other addictive hobbies, people often put it before things they maybe shouldn't.

Anyway, Indra's a sound lad, so please stop making assumptions about someone most of you have never even met.

^Thanks George.
I'm sure we'll all forget this soon enough and get back to enjoying riding and looking at bikes.

This is what happens when bikes don't get built quickly.

Moar pics!

You did let slip that you're able to drop a grand on a road bike.

It's really isn't.

Nah, I was wrong. Anyway, I'll have you know my dad is unemployed and has been for over 3 months, and my mum works part time on NHS salary, so kindly fuck off you judgemental twat. :)

why are people assuming that because someone is willing to spend a lot of money on something, they are automatically rich, and if they are younger, then they must be getting it from their parents?

The latter, because people under sixteen don't tend to have jobs

Really?
I do and so do plenty of my friends.

The latter, because people under sixteen don't tend to have jobs

Also don't tend to have rent/bills to pay etc etc

Jesus its hot in here

So what if he does?
How do we know he hasn't saved for the past 2 years to get it?

Maybe they were just a whole lot more lazy when they were kids but more likely they've just forgotten what it was actually like and that if they worked for something they could get it.

Was a window cleaner from aged 13, it funded my early bikes and racing. Mind you, back then they sent kids up chimneys!

Can we move on? There's no point arguing about it.

or do you mean people that you know didn't have jobs at sixteen? i echo indras statement as i have had a good wage since the age of 15 and i know many people who have had the same. perhaps younger people are more inclined to spend their money on material possessions such as bikes because they have no outgoings at all.

Fair enough. When I was younger you couldn't even find work until you were 16. Mind you, that was oop north, it's not much better when you turn sixteen. When I was still living at home and earning money, I did buy a bike and a lot of meals out and stuff, so I can appreciate that.

Out of interest, what do you young 'uns do?
