I've changed settings so that I don't get notified every time someone has a minuscule proto thought.

What about organising a bike jumble in Walthamstow or Stoke Newington even with proceeds split 50/50 between gia and Ukraine?

Exceptionally nice.

Last question then. Humour me, would you interfere if I offered to make a donation to a Russian charity in a thread which I opened in order to sell my Decathlon? And you were making that decision prior to reading the above and you happened on the Decathlon thread and I offered no explanation in it of why I thought donating to said cause was good?

True, or at all.

Thanks for that. 1. There's a straightforward Dickensian critique of charitable giving focused on the suppressed motivations of givers. 2. There are actual and obvious questions here about whether donating/giving in this case prolongs a miserable situation, and I don't mean that as an example of some general effect of giving, I mean in this exact case. I've been doing this on this thread because really why not.

... and are a salve for the bike-ridden mind.

Not to do with you in particular. To do with the donation mentality. I don't like that people don't see the limitations on their actions or have a bit of modesty about the effects of their actions in real terms. Charitable actions cause dependencies, shunt or defer issues where other types of actions are required. I don't have a connection there though and you do.

No trying about it. Look at who it was addressed to.

Imagine you were a person, and some other people, some military force of some previously allied kind were/was enforcing some part of an enclosures policy, harassing and burning down homes, committing various brutal acts against you and yours, what's the thing you should do—yes, why not, wait for a stem to sell and see what dribbles through. Arsehole.

Paste away but, no, you can't have a hierarchy on a fucking bike forum for dealing with questions of war. And there is nothing much more stupid than a thread dedicated to it.

that's what's in doubt. Like it or not.

You feel, maybe rightly, that you have some relevant experience. I feel—I think rightly—that the British—sorry, English—are manipulating once again, and donating, however intentioned, contributes to an ugly impasse; which is what I'm sure the situation now is.

I had no joy communicating with Handyside, did other people get their parts?

Please tell me—why the assumption that 'donating' to Ukraine is a good thing?

If you don't mind my saying, it's the sort of bike that deserves a look at; really lovely European geometry and the columbus genius frameset rides like a coiled spring—and (almost incidentally) I need to work in my work space and not store bikes there!
