And if you were trying to sell it, you'd be lucky to get half of what you paid for it.

I think the cycling industry is in danger of pricing itself out of the market. Some of the prices are getting a bit silly now.

Seems like a decent day weather wise
which means I have run out of excuse to clear everything out of the shed and give it a good clean and sort out
everything is covered in cement dust and grit and general muck after the landscaping stuff done so a lot of it will need a going over with the power washed
I expected that a loads of bits and pieces would be broken or "missing" after being spread over the lawns and moved around for several weeks
but so far the only thing missing is the nozzle for the hosepipe

That's true. The bulk of bikes my LBS sells are £4 - 500 and certainly below £1000. Then there are the high end users, of which I'm one. I'm always interested that the bikes on workstands either being built up or serviced are high end stuff.
Does that mean folk like me are more likely to get their bikes serviced or that we don't have the skills? Both in my case!!!

I
have heard of some people being turned away from LBSs because they had a cheap bike
The one near me takes the opposite attitude and will fix anything
most of what they sell are ebikes and high end
but most of what they fix are normal low end bikes that are used a lot

Good afternoon from a very sunny Dorset. Plumber texted to say that he was up and about so could he come earlier. Turned up at 08:00 and straight into the loft, as expected the recent work in the kitchen had dislodged some calcium in the pipe work which ended up blocking the ball valve. All sorted now. 💦

I’m watching the rugby. Scotland doing well so far but plenty time for Wales to come back like they did last year.

There's still the best part of an hour to go, hang in there you never know!
Mrs Tkk tripped and fell on her way to parkrun this morning. A raised water meter cover on the pavement being responsible. Once she'd picked herself up the tried to force down the lid but it was jammed. Water company alerted and two hour response promised. Grazed knee and elbow and a cut to the hand. Will contact them on Monday as Mrs Tkk was wearing her favourite " Sweaty Betty " bottoms.,
Crazy busy today, up early for an 8.00am appointment the other side of Oxford to have a pair of tyres fitted to the rear of our little Skoda Citigo, the originals had cracked through age. Then down to Harrow to meet a client, on to Brent Cross, home via John Lewis in High Wycombe where we collected some new curtains for our living room, and now home, feet up with a beer watching the telly.
