    Max tyre clearance on old 90s aluminium GT

    Measure the gap And it depends on how wide your Rims are - the wider rim makes the tyre wider. 2.4s would be extreme for 97 though.

    Best LBS in Britain

    There's historical precedent: Before the mtb boom, many bike shops were run by men with zero filter and lack of people skills. Now we are sadly in the minority. 😉 I'll get my Polo Shirt... ... oh no I I can't, I don't own one. 😁

    If you're swapping parts around with similar value, there's not necessarily a parts cost. And if a bike is more original, it's much easier to be relaxed and confident about its quality and value - from a salesman's perspective. A happy seller is more effective, that's for sure.

    Is it worth rationalising if you're flipping? You must be planning to sell to discerning collectors, a famously deep pocketed group😉.

    Raleigh Mustang, ruined

    Tbf the original capri had class. Not necessarily the class you were looking for, and certainly not the target class of the relaunch. Usually a brand takes the name of a product with a good reputation and foists some lame-arsed designed-by-committee rubbish on the gullible - this upends...
