And today I did......

Cotic got another rebuild today. Back to 140 forks but wider bars, lighter wheels and tyres and a new 1x10 set up with a 11/36 cassette. Also reverted to Formula brakes instead of the Hopes. Looking forward to having a good run on thursday night.

Decided to make a start on looking for a pre 65 trials bike this week. Something i've been thinking about for a while. There is an event on at a local farm at the weekend so i'm going up for a sniff round. I'm getting too unfit for tgis peddling lark.
 
My conversion part has arrived and i have to pay £21 to pick it up[custom handling+VAT charges]
Makes a total of £75 :(

Not a lot cheaper than an entire CK headset

Fookin Joke :x

Ooh! What's taking your fancy? A Greeves perhaps?
 
I have a mid 60's Greeves Scottish with a Villiers engine somewhere in boxes on the farm that i bought about ten years ago fof the numberplate, but it needs a full rebuild and i dont really have the time at the moment.
Not a lot of choice around at the moment but would like to find a decent user- not mint, but something well screwed together and reliable. I really want to do the Scottish Six Day next year.
 
One for Kaiser :cool:

I decided to do the right thing and send some business the way of my LBS instead of buying online.

Did some pricing up and have decided to buy online. :cry:
 
Yes that happens a fair bit for me - sometimes it works but more rarely now.
The biggest issue I have is they can order it in for a couple of quid more but it takes up to a fortnight, if they had it in stock I probably would have paid more and taken it but it is quicker and cheaper with CRC etc.
Unfortunately it becomes a downward spiral where they stock less and less.

I probably would have bought ultraMiniKen's bike from there if they had it in stock to try - but with out it there to try out I was not willing to risk it being too big.

Congratulations mate.

My brother became a grandad for the the first time last year, it's completely changed him. He seems to be an outstanding grandad despite having been an uninterested parent. very odd.
