How old are you?

[ColinJ]

Have you been watching this thread for 8 years ? a very well remembered comment.

Ha ha - I would like to take credit for that, but I was brought back to this thread by THIS POST earlier, so blame Mugshot!

Once I spotted Cubist's post, I couldn't resist commenting on it. (I think he actually had to take early retirement due to his bad hip, but the question still stands - does he feel as old as he now is!)

While we are here, I have somehow hit 61, which is a bit of a shock. Mind you, it is a nice shock given how close I came to popping my clogs aged 56!

As old as my Tongue and a little bit older than my teeth! Impertinent pup!

You're only as old as the man that you feel...


...which is why I have a toy boy.

@User is a girl?

How old is this thread???

It's that old,i had forgotten i had posted on it.Doh.

 

[ColinJ]

Really? You kept that quiet.

I love you more and more with every post ... I didn't think it was possible, but honestly - I do!

I have read enough of your posts to know that there is a kind, sensitive person in there somewhere. Can you please unleash her on me a bit more often because this s**t actually upsets me. Thank you.

First time on this thread, 65years old, was riding fixie at 12 years old or there abouts. There were not to many people i knew that would ride one.

That's a coincidence, I am 65 Monday and the first bike I built at about 12 years old was a fixie, it was a frame from the tip and various other scrounged parts, it was ice blue with cow-horn handlebars, it would be a hipster machine today

I am still riding fixed occasionally, and still building the odd bike or two.

My fixie was a Viking racer, given to me by one of my Uncles. it had a few gears on it, i slid of it going round a bend and broke the derailier, so i just spun the rear wheel around it had a fixie cog the opposite side to the gears, shortened the chain and rode it like that for years. Am still riding fixie if i am doing anything local,

That explains a lot.

Ok then ... DO YOU FEEL OLD?

Good work!

Yep, I felt old as my hip reduced to bone on bone. Now three weeks since having it replaced I feel rejuvenated. I can walk without a stick, and without a limp for the first time in years. (bit sore though)
