    What's happened to all the "stuff"

    Prices are not low, they are simply dropping from their peak. When I first joined the site, prices were considerably lower than they are now. NOS Syncros stem - £36 including shipping. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/syncros-cattlehead-stem-nos.20584/ NOS Chill pills - £10 a set...

    So what do you think about this 3iAtlas comet behaving weirdly in our Solar System?

    All of these comments rely on a ‘human centric ’ interpretation of what life is, what a power source is, what time is and so on. Given the probable infinite nature of space, why would ‘alien life’ be bound by the same scientific or physical restraints that we are?

    So what do you think about this 3iAtlas comet behaving weirdly in our Solar System?

    Time is relative. A fly’s lifespan is 28 days, a dog’s is 15 years, a human’s is 80 years, these are species that coexist on one planet. What if human’s lifespan is 80 years to an aliens 28 days?

    Hand-built Vintage Swallow Merlin Mountain Bike 1987 eBay

    I’m in Cheltenham so it would be an easy sale but at 5’8” I’m a bit sceptical of the sizing and my bikes have to be riders. Still think there is a bit more to be done with the price as well (the fact it hasn’t sold bears this out). The echo chamber is strong but I think somewhere around £300...

    Innovations that weren't...

    CF layers should only move against each other if there had been some sort of damage or a huge f?!k up in manufacturing. I wonder how many CF frames are damaged by users not realising that they need to treat them differently, arguably with more respect than a ‘metal’ frame? CF is good enough...

    Modern standards - I need updating!

    If it’s old tech compatibility you’re after, hand built money can get you a very nice old frame.

    Modern standards - I need updating!

    Is it? Gut feeling would be that this is incorrect. Need to calc it out.

    So what do you think about this 3iAtlas comet behaving weirdly in our Solar System?

    I think we’ve only ever confirmed the existence of ‘interstellar’ objects three times and all three are in the past 8 years. Are we getting better at spotting them or are the probes just starting to reach us? 👽
