Doing up an old bike - is it economical

[noggythenog]

Defo some food for thought here, i suppose the answer at the moment is not to get too carried away,
I'll never be using a bike for commuting and apart from getting cought out in the odd rain shower i'll be a fair weather biker and that being the case then stuff like looks and cleanliness and no rusty bits if im honest is important to me,ive just gotta ask myself is my current bike that bike and how much would it take to get it there,its in pretty good condition but better ones do exist and considering it will in the near future anyway give me my money back i may well pass it on to someone else to enjoy,


Maybe i will hang on for a while,if i love it but its not up to the standard i want then i may well consider the thou as there seems to be as a general rule much more minters out there compared to the 600,


Big maybes though.


It seems some bikes are destined to be cherished from birth,some start off that way until they get a different type of owner and others get used as the machines they really are, i feel like im talking behind my bikes back now,poor thing, i'll take it out and ring its neck tomorrow to keep it happy, then polish it of course :rolleyes
