Elgin or Moray

Are any of you MacRETRO'S near to Elgin or Moray for a potential bike pick up?

Ah wait, talking about the '88 frame... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Specialized-Stump ... 4149d120b3

Nah, my Hopper will be soooo much nicer.

Thats the one

most of the fellas are down in the central belt Kev but sure there are a few in the aberdeen area, but they dont come on to often and I cant remember names at the mom.

anyone help?

I have the go ahead for drum on sunday next week so that is cool.

More pictures when the tyres have been in the washing machine and I have the wheels trued (radial spokes are a pain) and buffed to within an inch of it's life


SS all the way ZZ- 36:17 seems to be the magic ratio!

you manage drum Si?

 

[clockworkgazz]

and yes kaiser knocked his pan in buffing my cranks :shock:

 

[Dr S]

you manage drum Si?

Maybe. I'm having next week off to spend half term with the girls. I will do my best to drive Mrs S mad over the week. She'll be begging me to go away by thursday Saturday might have been better as she has all the fishwives around for a kids Halloween party and she will want me to go away probably. :?

 

[clockworkgazz]

You would love drum Si- mind you if it is wet it will be fun rootastic!

Jamie might regret saying he will cover Inverness and North

 

[Dr S]

I have no fear of wet roots Gazz, bring em on I say!

Show us yer bike then man

HUGE KARMA points to my driver ZigZag, he's not my driver but as I have a habit of owning crap vehicles he often volunteers to drive me around.
Thanks ZigZag, I'll repay it all someday

Finances are too tight, scoot needs work, heating system on last legs, thankfully paid off exwife and divorce nearly through, redundancy a real possibility at end of january and I seem to have become Scotlands area co-ordinator for Retrobike. Into everybody's life a little rain must fall, mmmmmmmmmmm need to phone up that Noah bloke about how to build an Arck :roll:

Above might explain why I'm a Retro Grump but probably not

Cheers all, Velo

No worries velo, good to have some company on the way down. I'm definitely bagsing at least one burl in the plastic fantastic though - if it ever lives again

Unfortunately, I can't make Drum next weekend - tried my best, but can't get a sitter for the wain, so I'm going to have to miss this one :evil:
