@Jamiedyer it's ok i found the knife, i was taping some bars and i usually balance it there ready to cut tape!
@shedobits if you're in the area at any point just pop in, the kettle is always on and the bar is always open!
@eric_james yeah people do that, i do have a lot of stock and it is the sort of place you can spend a while looking at stuff!
and thanks for all the likes on the posts

thought i'd do another little update, and show off a new bike.
the bike trade is definitely calming down now, although to be fair i'm still pretty busy, it's nearly 10pm on a tuesday, i have just finished for the day but i decided to post some stuff here so i'm still at the shop.
i have done 4 services today and sold a Ā£1600 flat bar gravel bike, so i consider that a good day! shop looks tidy, i still have some stuff to do tomorrow including fitting some new Hope brakes to my old Orange Speedwork that i built and rode for a bit then a customer basically decided "i want that!" well i though i can get another one so i let him have it, he's now on an upgrade mission! so that worked out! problem was i liked that bike and as i quite often drink with him at the local brewery and we tend to ride there i didn't want to get the same bike again, well not the same colour anyway, so i built this horror story!!
spec is , Orange Speedwork frame and fork, 1 x11 Sram gears with a pilo engineering chainring and Elvedes BB, shimano deore/flatmount brakes, finishing kit is Pembree pedals and seatclamp, hope stem anodised pink to match pedals etc, burgtec bar, revgrips, FSA vision wheels, Hutchinson tubeless tyres with muc-off valves, paint was done by Orange as a special, they used a colour from i think the 2019 range, stickers were made by the design shop next door. it's a fun bike and it's super love or hate on the colours!

For Sale - Orange P7 Rare Purple Colour 18" FRAME
Hi all. I rebuilt this one a couple of years ago, some of you smart guys identified it as a rare factory paint job from 1994. I made up some graphics & added some (mostly) period parts, though it is a bit of a mashup (after being impatient to finish it!). Period LX groupset, newer LX hubs on...
