i thought i’d share with you all my heartbreak of the morning… walking to work through a cobbled laneway, past a few cafes, listening to the beatles, sun-shining no wind, wanting to be on my bike. about 50m before the office i stumble across a Hetchins road bike… just sitting there. i guess everyone has their fave builders and frame types and Hetchins (esp their lugs) are way up there for me. This one was nice… wicked middle ages looking lugs, twin plate fork crown, no tubing decal but i’m sure it was lovely.
and then heartbreak…
SHIMANO ALIVIO… ALLLLLLLL OVER IT.
I try to stay positive about life and bikes in particular, everyone uses em for different reasons and builds em to suit themselves. but honestly…
anyone else seen anything like this?
