Inchorent efficiency

After scouring Bristol, nowhere seems to sell second hand road bikes or, rather, this is precisely the wrong time of year to go looking for them.

I have dabbled with the idea of buying new, but it seems a bit unnecessary. Thusly, I was delighted to obtain, for £25, about 1/3 of a bicycle;


Woo. Now all I need to do is ungum the headset, replace the bottom bracket, straighten the chain rings, replace the axle on my wheel so it fits, fit a load of miscellaneous parts, and hope it works.

At that point I will establish it is too small for me, sell it for £50, and give in and go for the newshinyness.

Ho ho ho.
This is important.
I think.
Possibly.
