Oldschool Pet Peeves

[YGT]

I dislike the following bits :

1. Chrome foiled backing to stickers on painted frames, looks wrong.

2. Cut up pro bikes to make dinky bikes ... yes pit bikes can be kool, but come on .... if its been done before then the novelty is over ... I wonder if anyone has done a 24k hutch pitstar with the special brakes and hutch cranks yet? I am sure some one will do it soon even if a red one has already been done.
why is it we never see bikes converted from 20" to 26" instead? ... i guess its only a matter of time.....

3. Ebay & Paypal online crooks

4. same builds over and over again

5. Dodgy repros sold as originals .... I know that no one wants to get done for fraud by doing repros, but selling them as originals is wrong.

Hehehe.....  I swear to God Laz, you must have a direct link to my brain....

My local Halfords used to carry a couple of dozen all black shopper tyres just for me. All them 540 kickturns used to knock the tyre out in a couple of weeks and there was no way on earth I was going to run those bloody awful whitewalls

Superb restorations with a totally loose chain hanging down (a bit like wearing a chain wallet!)
