Rake aboot 4,935 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Biggest regret was breaking a 1975 Eddy Merkx 10 speed. Beautiful steel frame and full Campag. Belonged to my old man, but I was a young twat, and wrecked it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hot Meat 3,109 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'm glad I never took kids to shop. How embarrassing would it have been when I was more excited than them lol I nearly bought one there and then but guy in shop advised against it and instead told me get old un serviced for now. Same as kids bikes he could have took a lot more money than he did h advised us on cheaper bikes built to same standard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
