Wouldn't be seen dead on the Ridley but agree on the sentiments.
Just wait until lockdown is over and bikes bought on a whim are sold. It's a buyers market now.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
You mean it's a sellers market now?
I love this place, H³ was saying last week he should get a bike for pootling about with the family but had no space to store it. That space is now being commandeered for a race bike Seems entirely reasonable to me.0 -

If you have a look at what's for sale, its generally underpriced.
How much was that Ridley new?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
yup. shedloads of pristine gym equipt starting to float around and turbo trainers have started to trickle on the market, all near as perfect condition.pinno said:Wouldn't be seen dead on the Ridley but agree on the sentiments.

I haven't really been looking at bike prices but I thought demand was still high so prices were inflated. When you said wait until lockdown is over I thought that was also because prices are still inflated now.pinno said:

I suspect if the Ridley was a Specialized it would fetch more because most people are ignorant and want a big name they can impress their mates with. Certainly the case on Ebay, not so much on here of course.0 -
I've noticed fewer people out on bikes around here compared to last summer/autumn, but then again the weather has been a bit shite and there's been loads more traffic on the roads.0

My local FB bike groups are already loaded with lots of super-expensive bikes and bits bought and barely used last year. Prices are still high-ish though.Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0

With the rate *I'm* falling apart lately, I doubt it. I already have one bike I've not actually ridden yet at all, and a second that has done 1 pootle of about 15 km on gravel paths. 4 months ago.Ben6899 said:Wheelspinner said:My local FB bike groups are already loaded with lots of super-expensive bikes and bits bought and barely used last year.

Where in Northumberland? Beautiful county. If you haven't got a dog, get one, buy one, hire one or whatever, coz every other fuckers got one. Never seen so many pubs and hotels be so dog friendly.pinno said:[Oh yeah; c is pretty close to the space bar.]
It's shopping day, yippee...
Booked holiday to Northumberland. Highlands are way over priced and pretty booked out bar boxes next to main roads.
Will be not too far from Wayay territory but far enough away from Redcar.
I really did think I was dying yesterday but it turned out to be indigestion.
Great walking along the beaches. Can't recommend the North Sea though. Brrr

I would have love to have been right in the middle of Northumberland national park for the scenery alone but...
2 kids ain't going walking every day for a week and I don't really like walking that much either. So, Newcastle is 20 miles away, Prudhoe and the water sports place is a stone's throw away and so we can keep them entertained.
Maybe canoeing on Derwent water.
Go to the Science museum in Newcastle and make a day of it.
We'll take a drive to one of the beaches.

We stayed in Bamborough. My missus loves the sea and will watch it for hours. I don't mind that as it costs FA.0

Northumberland/Durham is acceptable. Any further south and you might set me off.pinno said:

The Highlands are mostly fully booked and what's left is extortionate Seano.
I do like the North east of Engerland.

I’m with your missus. The sea is awesome. Can’t wait till all the ice bergs melt and I get a sea view without moving.ballysmate said:We stayed in Bamborough. My missus loves the sea and will watch it for hours. I don't mind that as it costs FA.

Think what a sea view will do to the value of your property.seanoconn said:

We'd like to go to the Highlands as our trip booked for Summer 2020 was obviously cancelled, but looks like it might be a no no now also.
Have bad memories of Northumberland. Was in Seahouses 3 years ago when my mum's condition worsened, so we cut the trip short and hurried back, but she passed before we got home.

Your experiences of Redcar shouldn't blacken the whole of the North East. People actually talk to you there. Although, I don't always understand what they're sayin' like.Stevo_666 said:pinno said:

Remind me again when you're going so I know when to avoid...
I have a Geordie contact I used to sell waste cooking oil to. Struggled to understand him half the time but he was good for banter and didn't take offence to my cheek.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
It wasn't quite the League of Smoggy Gentlemen - we did leave Redcar once in a while. (And spent a few years in Durham).pinno said:

The lad's squeeze is at uni in Durham and he said he was surprised by how nice it is, but then he did go there from Selly Oak so I guess it's all relative.0

Durham City is quite nice and historic but it can get a bit interesting when the residents of the local former pit villages come into town for a night out. We used to go up to Newcastle Quayside for the odd night out, that was funveronese68 said:The lad's squeeze is at uni in Durham and he said he was surprised by how nice it is, but then he did go there from Selly Oak so I guess it's all relative.
