I've just spent a fortune on bikes this month - loads of parts - some useless (thanks kaiser ) and I finally bought the sithlords Foco Gazelle Superbe.

I think I'll need to get shot of my 531 'butler, Cannondale frame and Even my Kooka stem to pay to fit it out.

Gaz where did you get your cannondale welded and how much was it?

any pics of this bike AC or are you waiting until it is finished.

I'll keep a wee photo diary of the progress on my facebook page and my flikr account so I'll let ya know when the ball is as they say...rolling.

no you can keep it/ sell it, what ever mate

If this is the case then you need to take another of the fugly parts which I have.

page 1 post now includes planned meets.

well done, we need to keep up with the jones erm I mean the NE crew

I'm sure they copied it from us anyway besides they have a rubbish name

Get fooked, I invented the calendar before yous loosers and the Romans.

However, I'm six weeks into a MacRetro style beard growing thing which I believe was your idea though.

Name wise, I'm just glad Janey Dyer hasn't had a crack at making something out of NE GROup after the weekends politically incorrect photoshop fiasco.

Si :?

Ken, kaiser recommeneded a fella in glasgow- took a crate of beer as payment forget his name and firm :? kaiser?

velo your regional subgroup needs you

 

[velomaniac]

Regional Sub Group :? More like Sub Species

I do not want to go to Trumpton, knacker myself then have to drive a 100 miles more in my plastic pig. I would then be too tired to enjoy the rest of SSUK.

I have ME, an underpowered car and a tendency to crash my mtb and hurt myself :roll:

I'll stick to my slow progress south and keep my crashing to the race only

so........................................................................................................................... are you trying to say, in a round about fashion, dare I say it, kind of beating about the bush abit, that you may not make it to trumpton?

Get where you are coming from, it will be a hard day all told but I'm sure a night in a tent will invigorate us all :roll:

Where are you planning to go on your grand tour velo?

 

[velomaniac]

Tour plan, still subject to changing my mind is this :-

Wednesday roll down A7 through the Borders and Dumfriesshire into Cumbria and stop in the northern lakes for a night.
Thursday go down to southern lakes and mooch around a little stop for the night again.
Friday cross the country over the pennines by a minor A road into the vicinity of Pickering or Scarborough for overnight stop.
Saturday stock up on provisions and then head to Dalby in late morning.
On Sunday head back to a campsite in Yorkshire.
Monday head north via A68 through County Durham, Northumberland and possibly stop off for night at Keilder.
Tuesday head home.

Knowing me i'll change my mind on route and end up somewhere else :roll:

Cheers

sounds like a cool tour, some very beautiful parts of the UK, here's hoping we/you get some nice weather to go with it.
