I've only received the parcel yesterday. Three bloody months from France!
I'm not sure what to say...EE, Was the parcel sent with normal french post? I am waiting for some cranks to arrive, they were posted 3/4 weeks ago and I trust the person sending them, though the french post office has been on strike in august..
and if yours took 3 months to arrive sans strike...wtf? am I too expect with a strike...I was worried they were going to get pinched in the 'hackney post' vortex (where all my birthday cards end up) though if they haven't even left france yet.
Meh, just want the parts...
on a lighter note...this arrived from Eddy last night, that I am building for a mate, I'm really pleased, (I got a tiny alan frame as well ) ...it's dinky she's dinky...will look nice...she's going to love it...schweet...;D

My mate uses one in wimbledon (a trek I know) though they have that local thing going on which means you get a really good deal out of them. (we got a van for 4 days and paid for 3 and they were still only £27 a day for a corsa sized van.
You can't usually get anything other than what is written in the book with places like Sixt. (I can ask for the number this avo? if thats helpful, if it's too much of a schlep then no worries)
That said Sixt had a sale on a couple of weeks back with their vans, it may be worth checking ? -
am liking this pm coming .....prov dibs !
I have to agree, its a very pretty thing...
-
Without sounding precocious you need to change the tag line on the thread to read TENT...and not tend...I had no idea what you were selling until I looked....and then was alike ...ahhh...Tent!!
that said, thats a really nice swish tent. I'm sure you will have no trouble sellling it.
-
Thread title gets changed to show the current venue.
Sometimes it does take a few days before Hippy or Velocio do it mind you.Also the first post is changed, with google maps link etc.
thanks baba...I will be on the way home laden with nice things so will see you there...I agree this is quite nice since it's had the refurb, and the garden is nice too.
As long as they have such tasty chips we'll be fine..;D

Pm sent

I know fuck all about anything regarding this...
though telling someone that suffers depression to 'get their shit together, cause they are better than that' is probably the most patronising thing I have ever heard said about depression.
Yes, they probably are.....and?

where did you see thata dylan?
Bought the brakeset in total for £50. I got nothing for free so get your stuff right please before accusing me of more wrong doing.
Hey...I'm sure he's as right as rain and you're speaking out of your arse...just like you did when you said the other day 'oh no mate I got this is holland a couple of years back...'
You have absolutely no chance of redeeming yourself...you may as well close this name, open another up....(though you probably have done...oh? no? me ? really? how very dare you? me ...another personality? I've no idea what your on about I stole 'em fair an square..) or don't open another up...and take your slimy gold bricking arse somewhere else that isn't sick to death of you already and protest your innocence there.

Maybe in real life you are too cool for school, but on the Internet you sound like a hapless japs eye.
Sorry if I missed something.You have to stay up all night to catch her out...;D (sorry to be so sycophantic...I was about to say something similar), you moan about brookes and have a rolls?
brookes have been around forever, long, long before every hipster wanted one in 'honey' to engage in frottage, they were heavy, well built, and as long as you knew what hide food was would outlive you and the bicycle. don't be so harsh on a 'design classic' because they were one of those before the term 'design classic' was ever thought up, be pissed off about anything (but those saddles are a poor target...you sound like a buffoon.)
they are the functional workhorse saddle.

brakes + nova .. pm'd
Hey have pmed you about the brakes?
-
gipiemme brakes...pmd

Can you change the thread title or make it a little more obvious...?
I cycled past slowly the last two weeks wondering where the fuck every one was?
-
Not that is actually likely, though one person did send me a PM yesterday and threatened me. It was really funny, because he didn't have a clue who he was dealing with. I'm still chuckling about it.
with regard to my beligerance, It was this quote that I took to mean (maybe wrongly, and if that is the case... I will apologise for it, if it wasn't you chuckling about how stupid his remarks were in relation to how hard, large, etc...and was more to do with how you look at life...ie ...he threatend me ...what a dork...thats why you're laughing then I agree what a dork.)..anybody resorting to even the slightest 'I'll kick your head in buster ...watch out'' type of shit...then chuckle away at them being an utter dork...peace and love...though I am tired of this thread too...
Support who you like, though don't be surprised that if you support idiots...then we will associate you with idoits...
It happens to everyone...guilt by association... -
you mean not to me? to someone else that has already picked it up?
if so thats cool.if not will still arrange to pick up.
-
this looks heavy, sorry ...interesting,...wow.
-
Look what I found...it's that frame that has been kicking around in his shed for a couple of years, that he didn't buy of ebay last week...
-
I can't belive people have been have been ranting about this all night. All night. Jesus....
it's not exactly all night, I just keep different hours than most 'normal' people...think of it as being late supper...
and GAG, thanks for the interesting thing...I truly am....though more importantly, thanks for the selective quoting. I am not blunderbussing any argument...I am gobsmacked that anyone that has built or ridden a bike for more than 2-3 years...ie so you know how to do some basic maintainance, or have friends that will do it for you, could fail to see (as you seem to be doing) just how crap and pathetic your counter argument to him being a misguided tosser are ...
BDW...hit the nail squarely, He is self employed. if he had traded in such a fashion, he would be out of business. I would...anyone would and that is what is deserved of such a bad business model...I know...I'll go into brain surgery...I have read a couple of books, removed a splinter or two...I pierced my own ear for chrissakes...whassa problem?
It is that simple. I can find no moral compass to help me understand your direction.
If he really wants to do everyone a favour...ok,...spend the next 2 days honouring you, rewrite the web pages to only accomodate parts sales, and take down all the shit alluding to his bikes being the next 'condor'...
Oh, and maybe you should wind your neck in regarding how 'hard' you are and who threatens you...
At 19 stone...your a fat cunt, you maybe 6' 5''...(I dont know, though whatever height you may be??) even at that height you still have a tyre you could lose...bruce lee weighed ten stone wet through...and would have kicked your arse around the park until you weighed considerably less...
'bear' that in mind, when comparing size with ability ... ok?
aha...the inevitable one other thing...please stop referring to 'caramel cycles' as some sort of burgeoning rebel within a hostile environment.....it's not a 'small' company...it's a one man band that made fucking crappy bikes by ripping people off...
It's not some bespoke 531 master we are resigning to the dhss...it's a guy that knows fuck all about bikes being turned back to the 'what is my next direction' square in lifes rich board game...he shouldn't have started with bikes in the first place? they are NOT rocket science...they are really fucking easy to do if you have a modicum of fabricating talent?
this should tell him to look for something else to do and stop diluting the already 'saturated with shit' bike market with even more?
this isn't some great loss...this is a chancer that has had his fingers burnt...the world is full of them and the fact that one less would be ripping off the unsuspecting is a good thing...
not a bad one.
-
Ok...
thats nice...I'm in I will arrange to pick up tomorrow? monday? I'm busy already this weekend so if I can squeeze in tomorrow? how much roughly in metric tonnes does the frame weigh?
I'll try and sort it tomorrow afternoon...later rather than earlier...ie more like 4-5 pm.. -
I like to see people succeeding, not failing. Maybe thats the difference between me and so many others, on here. Its not comedic to me if someone has to file for bankruptcy. I know people who have, and I once came very close to it. Its really a harsh thing to happen to someone.
I am not deluded. I just have always backed the small guy. Sorry if that upsets so many.
This, I understand that you feel for the small guy...what I cannot abide by...is some one that doesn't know there shit, Selling sub standard road going bicycles to people, they could be killed through no fault of their own...?
He is selling things that are bound to fail...? second hand brake cables? has the man no fucking scruples? they cost 99p in wilkos? he has an account at fishers and is putting on second hand brake cables...? even Unicrates have new (but crappy) brake cables?
for that alone he needs a fucking good kick in the balls?These people are paying ALOT of money for there second hand brake cables and all the other corners he has cut.
his whole position is untenable, this isn't a jumper...or a stereo...they won't kill you...your brakes failing whilst in a jam and you really have to pinch the fuckers to stop and that is where you wonder if it had been frayed a little and put in anyway...
to save 99p?
It's really, really lame and to be honest, if you cannot see or fail to understand how poor that is in the grand scheme of things...then forget the wheel test and anything else you would like to redeem him on.
and a PS...It's a bloody stupid assumption to think that the reason we complained is because we 'have never started or ran a small company?'' ...What total and utter bollox? what does that have to do with anything? I have been self employed for 10 years? Ed (i think) is also self employed...? what does any of this have to do with whether or not 'Mr Caramel' builds shit bikes?
You going to tell us the blight of the small 'bespoke' bike maker is the extreme rarity of cables and brakes, and thats why he hasn't been able to source or locate the parts? he has had to order them in at great expense form a small farm near lake como?
You backing the small guy in this case is so fucking deluded because in this case...the poor cunt that bought his shit heap bicycle is the small guy?
He is the one getting into a potentially fatal situation through no fault of his own? if this were 'watchdog' you would presently be the one backing the cowboys...saying to ''Nicky annoyingscottish Twat'' well you know it'shard to run a small business...thats why we have to rip off customers selling them bikes with shoddy, second hand, poorly functioning brakes and incredibly over priced frames...it's the only way we can turn a buck?
can you hear your self now?
