Only ever sold one bike- once I got onto sensible quality ones- and I regret selling that one. Still have my 92 Kona Explosif and it still rides well in the right conditions.
But recently got an old Dawes Galaxy as a project. Took it for a 10 mile ride a couple of months ago and I will will stay with my modern bikes out of choice. It is not the gears- not the groupset- not just the weight of the thing but given a choice of a modern bike or a 25 year old one--------
