Up for Xmas night out/velo 40th bash. Dunkeld and/or Mr P land sound good too - my next door neighbour goes fishing up Dunkeld way, and reckons there are some cracking tracks up there.

Can't seem to get a broon Spoon anywhere (No cutlery/erse comments either)

ZigZag, Charge Stool saddle in broon available from Edinburgh bike if thats any good, it is a saddle your after isn't it :?

 

[zigzag]

The stool is too wee, it's the one for jump bikes - I've got one sitting down in the basement right now

Going to hit the bike station tomorrow and see if I can pick up some bits for the Stumpie - Shimano 7sp mech and rear cassette.

I have an xt rear mech prob 1995ish might be a bit to modern?

 

[zigzag]

Hmm, let me see what I can find tomorrow... If no joy, I may give you a shout.

 

[clockworkgazz]

in fact I have a stx one too

we should do a wanted list, as I need a few things.........in fact if there are any retro looking black grips, pick up a set for me ZZ.

Best time to hit the bike station is from about 12 mid day on a Saturday. The place is heaving from 1030 as loads of students often foreign with poor English try to secure the latest batch of restored bikes, utter chaos :roll:
From 12 they've all gone leaving the rest of us time to pick through the spares boxes/drawers
You might bump into me as I'll be looking for some rigid forks.

Happy 200+ and counting Macretro.
Not been keeping up to speed lately as I've been 12 hours covering holidays at work.
Discovered 'that' flat not only stole all me air but also split and cracked my rear rim terminally, hence my current interest in acquiring a spare wheel/rim or two.
Still on the lookout for a cheap complete work/pub/runaround so I can strip blast and paint the Mission this winter.

No jokes about my split rear rim plz

Dave.
