But don't you feel bad for all the future C&V'ers because now they'll have less bikes to be enjoyed by them. Stop being selfish! more original bikes are a good thing. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!! (BTW send me that spacer kit)
I agree with Alan, for all the derailleur hangers and stuff he's removed i say we remove some of his "stuff" before we treat him like a witch in the olden days......bikes have feelings too
I am still a kid (sort of) so I am thinking of the children! There will be plenty of nice vintage bikes for all to enjoy for a long time. As somebody else mentioned, he's not hacking up an MX Leader or a Curly Hetchins (though I wish he would). He could cut up every single 1970's Sekai on the planet and I think the world would be fine.
And re. the spacers....unfortunately (for you--and you can blame Robbietunes) I will be installing them this weekend as I have an 8s Campy mini group on the way. I tried running Shimano on my commuter for a few weeks but just can't do it any longer.
