Anyone want to display there ride at the cycle show (NEC)

[themountie]

Hi guys Any one want to display there retro ride at the cycle show at the NEC next yr . Cheap or possibly free of charge.

As I contacted them about organising a display but the price for a stand was way to much.
They liked the idea of a retro display to show you do not have to have a new bike to get in to cycling I have receded an email back asking for Photos of the bikes that would be interested.

I wanted to do a restored display , survivor and a barn shed find display. May be from 1980's to the late 90's

Anyone want in please post pics and specs guys

Its chance to display at the NEC amongst the big boys and show the olduns are the best

Hi guys i will be sending all the pics to the guys at the cycle show and if they are able to offer us a free space or use us they will decide which rides they would like.

kingbling will be helping get this organised any questions please pm either of us .

that being said post pics specs of your rides any qwerkie funny werid stores of how you came by your ride would be great

May also offer they our time for some classes e.g on how to restore and set up old kit where I can be found ,restoration tips tricks, how to guys on the website and the achives

PICS if you have em
If we pay for a space you are looking at £3k
but as they are very intrested they said they could poss do it for free for us.

Re:

But £3k ?

Re:

It is set up to humour big companies who insist we all buy their new products and not recycle our old ones where they see little return. Great idea but at £3k I think it will struggle.

Perhaps another idea would be to contact the companies themselves, Orange etc etc and say hey, have you thought about having a retro on your stand to emphasise your history and evolution?
