I had to go away 'down south' with work this week for a couple of days. I made the best of it bike-wise & took the van. On the way down I made a detour to meet up with a Retrobiker from London to collect a bike reserved since before Christmas & on the way home collected another bike from another Retrobiker. On my overnighter I took a trip out to collect a frame bought by a local north-east rider on ebay that was cash on collection only. In return I earned myself this neat, small (180cm) metal sign that used to hang in M.Steel Cycles of Gosforth, Newcastle. Bike builder & shop. Nice addition for the bike shed. Simple thing to make a fan-boy smile! :D

Old news now from 2017 but what a shame to close shop after so long and just as cycling re-emerges into the main market.

sure was, although shame for anyone who didnt have reciepts or proof of ownwership when the administrators came in too. I heard some people lost whole bikes when it went under.

on another note ......

picked up a few of these :)
