Big thanks Graeme for providing us with this forum. It has been a wealth of knowledge for more than old bikes. The brains trust on here is wide and varied. Hopefully someone may pick up the torch, like a vmx club perhaps. Even if they sold advertising so it pays its way.
I'm sure a lot of old bike tinkerers will be lost as we won't be able to run in from the shed and search or ask for a solution to whatever problem besieges us at the moment.
Unfortunately everything changes and/or comes to an end, the next generation never carries the torch the way the previous generation want it carried. What was meaningful to them will be irrelevant to the next and so on.
