I nearly got sick when he told me.

OMG how bad is that. I would have been well upset if that was me.

I guess there would be deaths involved if it was me! :shock: :evil:

I know. Think about it... the best frame builders in the world, measureing you up, having a consultation with the team, and building the bike for you.
Then signing the frame, since each one is a one off.
Then putting his name, the Irish flag, the olympic symbol.
And then both of them (one track, one road) are put out for the bins.
It wasnt jut those bikes either. He had about 12 bikes hung up on the walls in the garage.
And the worst part of it was, the old man didnt even need the space. He just thought he would give the place a bit of a clean. |
