You’ll be right, as a former potato owner I think I’m just suffering seller’s remorse.

Me 3! 4 clinchers and 2 tubs. Those prices were ridiculous!!!

Plus a 56cm Corex with Nagasawa lugs and BB shell, and Tange tubing from Korea.

I got the card from the Postie and knew it was the frame so I rode the bike trailer down to pick it up. Then saw a box with wiggle on it at the Post Office, and thought that there is no way the wiggle order could have arrived as well. Sure enough it was mine! Loaded down the trailer and rode it all home. Double pleasure! 😉
