My ride turned into a solo pub crawl, I turned up at the local old mans pub, to find the crew with wives celebrating the birthday of the guy who originally bought my Levo.
I completely forgot about it and managed to blag I had meant to end up there.
The guy on the left crushed his collar bone, not his shoulder as they first thought, hes still off work.

I’m glad for you, Charge, that pub life has recovered since COVID. Around here we lost a lot of (mostly good) “pub-ish” style restaurants. C’est la vie.

Are any of them? Is Spesh, the Taiwanese owned, constantly bailed out & constantly in danger of bankruptcy the same as it was in the 80s when it made the first Stumpjumper and Rockhopper?

Accell Group (Dutch) now owns Haibike. Corporate world gobbling each other up.
Not just bikes. Everything will be corporate owned soon. Want to buy a subscription? We don't sell bikes or appliances, just lease them.
