MacRetro chat and rides thread

[Dr S]

Guys,guys,guys !!!!

This is a wee bit tedious with the one guy includes a quote from the previous guy who then adds this to another quote etc etc etc.

Often there is only 2 or 3 of you chatting, can you not remember what was previously said without including a boxed summary of the last umpteen sentences :roll:

Enough already or I'll have to get the Alzheimers Society to come and examine you.

Now knowing you lot your going to take the piss for numerous pointless pages, so off you go then...........................

don't worry velo we never take the piss out of the elderly

hows the hardrock coming along anyway?

Someone from the clan should buy kaisers GT, it will be weird if it does not appear at a future retro bike meet

I am tinkering with the idea of selling the dale- any folks on here be interested in it? It has been repaired if you didn't alraedy know, kind of coming to terms with it being to small

So you go and do it, Velo has spoken- he's the bossman now!

Oh shit, I've done it now. Sorry V

 

[Dr S]

On a serious note, have any of youse guys got any old U-brakes kicking about? Pref a nice Deore XT in black??

you can leave your testicles here too, you know for when the wife gets wind of this :shock:

She's cool about it. It's not a bad investment afterall, should I decide to sell any of them I'll get my money back.

Talking like I have got it already- have to win the damn auction first

anyhoo, anyone got any one inch threaded pepperoni forks going spare? Last years winter hack is on the Trainer so need to build something up for the commute. Just got a nice fat 'dale frame to build up.

Si

Si I have a set of 1 inch cannondale forks - they came off my m400 - made of steel.
They are a wee bit rusty and have a stuck stem (which I cut off) so you might have a bit of work to do.

You can just have them for postage - they ain't pretty.

Dr Si,
Interested in those avid archrivals. Are they the ones with the brace\booster fitted?
Thanks,
J

In case anyones interested, Dave and I plus others unknown are going to hit Glentress on Saturday around 11am to ride a mixture of trails including the 2 sections of secret single track and the black climb. The unknown are some of Daves superfit friends who are night riding on Friday before doing the red route before 11 as a warm up on the Saturday. Hopefully they will have calmed down by the time Dave and I show up :shock:
