I'll maybe be going back to the drum on Sunday for a while if anyones interested.

dont think I can finesse a fun pass but will try

It'd be a quickie, 12ish till maybe 3ish.

oh and the weathers promising

let me see if I still have the old magic

bit of a mincer?

ZigZag, I've got some all metal STX-RC V-brake levers if you want a full set.

I'll take a wee gander at those at the weekend, there was only one set of V's, so I'll keep my eyes open for a 2nd pair. Unless you've got a pair going spare too

Was big eck a happy bunny with his frame ZZ and take it your fine K lucky it was your head you landed on, nothing important. BTW just shows you it is true- that "englishmanfellatype" type took 20 notes for a wee bit of plastic- miserable fecker- hope it rains tonight and his tent falls over Twisted Evil

No a peep out of the big fella tonight, so I reckon he's probably out in his sheds re-assembling the GT

Ach bottom line, I broke it, I pay for it. I'll be sticking to my own bike from now on though :?

Help ma boab, is that Downhill Dave?

great picture- mentalist :shock:

been shaking the frame for 3/4 hr and got a lot of tiny particles of rust out, a wee bit still in but will leave it for another night now- looks a lot better now I have cleaned the BB out to, was rusted but not to deep- will blast it with the kurust (BTW how do you get it in the tubes does it come with a hose type applicator or do you need to ladle it in?) and then waxoyl to protect it. weird thing is the size is actually the same as the clockie but it has an extra 1 inch top tube, suppose the prestige had dif. geo.

kaiser did I forget to get the cable or did you forget to bring it? Might aim to have the uni-bomber ready for the englangshire bash- gears might be nice :roll:

Hehe mincer indeed!
That beastie is good for a car speedo checked 50mph on forest road, photo taken during 2005 UK series race at Dunkeld, toasted the competition by 15secs over a 90sec course...

This other beastie runs Mono mini's and dinky 100mm disks on a Hayes lever with blingy braided hose plus composite axles and deck and CNC'd stub axles and disk guards... Photo is Italy at the 2006 Worlds

Upsi'doon at Dumbarton skatepark...

Use initiative syringe?

I reckon you forgot about the cable sorry it was me, I'd packed up when you asked for it and tried unsuccessfully to remember it
