wel I am going to stick up for Marxy again, having done it in the past, everyone is entitled to their opinion and my opinions very often differ with Pauls, but we are still great friends. I nipped over to France last week to conclude a deal with him for some spoked wheels (disc front, drum rear) which was a bit complicated to say the least and has taken a long while, the end result is that Paul saved a lot on postage and import taxes as I was "smuggling" in some expensive parts for his 3C rebuild (ex roundabout crash/fire) and collecting the wheels at the same time, I am very happy with my purchase which was at very fair market value prices, not the ridiculous (not selling) prices that you see advertised. Not only that but lunch by Corrinne (pork casserole) was just the ticket for me, in a not feeling too well state, it revived me no end, Say what yoiu like but IMHO Paul is one of the good guys.

Nickdav7, stop harping on about an SFC, you will not fit on one and you wouldnt be able to handle the power, or cornering ability.
Shuggie, you simply must buy a copy of the ILOC 50th anniversarry book, you will have your faith restored, there is a very good article by both Sir Sid and the Manx Mog (Andy Jessup)

I dunno why people want to bag Paul Marx out.

If you don’t like his posts, don’t read them…. simple.

Besides, there was one I enjoyed 🤔 a few years back. 😆
 
One absolute classic idea is if everybody thought and did exactly the same as you how fucken boring would this world be. It's the eccentrics that approach life in a different way that add spice and flavour and they should be celebrated not vilified like PLENTY like to do here. If someone doesn't live up to your particular closeted expectations lean to either ignore it or live with it. Sheep think exactly the same as each other, so don't be a fucken sheep. Does anybody else notice the constant exit of eccentrics from here lately, guess why. It gets pretty boring just reading parts-for-sale posts really fast.

I don't see how making the bikes we love, want and sometimes buy cheaper can be bad news.
The only problem is that we'll be seeing the birth of the bobber orange Jota, but why not.

I think that those who consider low prices bad news, should consider persian rugs or designer furniture but not contraptions that wear, break down, blow up, get mangled by idiots in cars on their smartphone or setting their satnav, or worse, horror of horrors GET DIRTY.

What's your problem? Anybody wanting their objects of desire to be more expensive has a serious problem.

I see you have pissed off the speculators, most now got squeaky bum moments as their "blue chip investments" depreciate and the interest rate on the bank loan they took out to buy aforementioned blue chip investment is getting a bit worrying! Well done Paul, way too many polishers of false gods out in the world right now. Bet I get lynched now and I dont give a shit
 
It's got nothing to do with value, I don't look at mine as an investment I've owned Jotas since the 80s and have had to sell in the past due to various reasons. I don't need to sell now I just hate the fact some people feel the need to talk them down, especially if they are orange and aren't a 750 with points. Unfortunately I'm not a yuppie and still have to work every day, some people in this club have been financially clever or have had well paid jobs, so are able to retire early and enjoy what they have. Good luck to them.
