Anytime after 10

1949 Polo bike?

im looking to get gigging

i know Sheep was after some..

oohh thats just cheek.

...because on the post i have a bracket and on the seat tube there are transfers.
Also.. when the wheel is in the frame there isn't much clearance for the clamp.

so nahh ni nah

Also... i have scrapped the £5 donation rule.. Though anything would be welcome if possible... including vegan beers ;)

Basically it would just be a great way for me to put faces to names.

Photos uploaded...

...anyone have anything kicking around?
For cheap or free if possible.

Ideally before this coming sunday

...through the LFGSS Group page
Facebook stalking at its best :P

A stolen photo of myself...

Red (beaten) french track frame, black bottom bracket, black cranks and wheels, chrome bars and forks.

Moi avec un muzzy...

As some of you know, i am a cycle mechanic, during the day i work at BikeFix in Holborn and in the evenings and on my days off i do some private work through my own workshop. www.thehubcycles.co.uk
With 6 years previous bike shop experience i have built up a large collection of tools.
My tool box ranges from a few Snap-on bits to a full Halfords Socket and spanner set. With bike specific tools from Park, Pedros, Cyclus and Shimano.

I have a complete wheelbuilding set up and two bike workstands, one fixed and one portable.

What i am offering is a chance for people to come over and drop in on a Sunday morning (10-3, Before Polo) with the idea that they are welcome to use my tools and experience to put together their own conversions, add new parts, build their own wheels... etc etc.

If any one is interested in this, what i am asking for in return is a voluntary contribution to cover the cost of tools with the rest being put together to then be donated to the various cycle charities around London... I wouldn't say no to a few cans of Carlsberg either :P

I have a small stock of bottom brackets, chains, spare bolts, most of which you are welcome to at cost. Other than those, i can not really get anything else in, so if you are looking to get parts before hand then i recommend getting in touch with Roberto, Tour de Ville or Freshtripe for that kind of thing

As the nights get brighter and things start warming up, if people really are up for this i might also consider extending the invitation to another weekday evening.

Shacklewell Lane, Dalston
PM me for an address and so i can get an idea of numbers.
I know a few of you have already PMd me and i have been slow in getting back, but i just wanted to check first with my house mates that this would be ok.
....the back yard isn't the largest of places so i cant really fit a great deal of people.

I will upload some photos tomorrow.

Was a really fun ride.
A really good turn out, even though that the majority of people there were non FGSS members.
To be honest i wasn't really expecting the brompton brigade of commuters and family riders... but thats what made it so great, a real nice mix of people.

....there is also another room avaliable... box room at £200 a month.

Not as of yet.
Have had a few people come to look at it.

Give me a call if you are interested
07505006432
Welcome to come have a look anytime really.

Dalston ;)

Condor have a fair few ones in

the emily's are in.....

I cant PM you for some reason... so ill just post it here instead

• Still thinking about coming over to the house before polo?
  You know you want to :D
  
  

I might even have some brownies left over -

Update... The bike has more or less gone.
So its just the wheels now.

Have only been ridden for a weekend.
Both non machined

Built by yours truely.
Buy them off me and i will give you free wheel builds for life. ;)

£160

I would like to keep hold of them but my wallet is pretty tight at the moment.

If you fancy the whole bike.. then it can be yours with the wheels for a tidy £235
It has a 50cm top tube. Plus the brown and pink is a nice combo

Would make perfect for a polo bike, which was my original intention but it comes up quite short for me. (I am 6ft)
Ill throw in some home made vegan choc fudge brownies if you buy the complete bike.

Might even make a nice lady bike.

Park do a chaintool especially for BMX 1/8" Chains.
Works perfectly with halflinks.

.....If you are around Dalston or Bricklane Polo.. you are welcome to use mine

The CT-7 Chain Tool is specifically designed to work on the wide and tall 3/16” BMX/freestyle chains now becoming popular. The CT-7 also works on 1/8” BMX/freestyle chains with outer plate width 7.4mm or less. Made from investment cast steel for strength and durability, the CT-7 has a replaceable driving pin (part CTP), a fine thread, and a comfortable handle. Please note: The CT-7 will not work on 3/32” derailleur or 3/32” BMX chains.

Is that why your alias is smallBROWNbike? :P

exactly that actually!
my saddle is 4 different shades of brown

SBB, you'll be pleased to know there are no vegan thai buffets in camden or highbury.

I'll be seeing you.

Haha!!
man, i have been exploding downwards for a few days now.
It was either the buffet or the curry i made myself the night before. Which ever it was, it didn't take to me too well.

im happy to withdraw my bid if d0cA needs the pair.
