Does this deserve it's own thread? I'm not sure.

We're open till 10pm, most of the wheels are easy to find in the yard and some are behind the thing that looks like a Dj booth (also in the yard) Have a rummage but let someone know first.

Look mum no hands! ( bike cafe on Old St, London) has a growing pile of old wheels and tyres in the yard. They vary in condition. I'm not sure that any will work as wheels for your bike but if you were building a sculpture out of old wheels you may be happy. Come and have a look and take what you want. Just ask Sam or Nik if the pile is not immediately obvious.

Very excited. We're doing a Toulouse sausage sizzle in the yard on Saturday to celebrate the start of the tour. Eurosport are showing a 'best of the tour' on at 4pm followed by the Prologue live on the big screen.

Stage 1 of the Tour will be live on the big screen too.

Just a note to say that we'll be showing the tour Stage 1 live on Sunday at the Jumble. There's an hour at 10:45 and the main coverage starts at 12:45.

The jumble is now a regular occurrence. Broadly bike based. Bring as much as you can carry, no van loads. 11am start on the first Sunday of every month. Next one is Sunday the 4th of July.

We have bunting, beer, coffee and cake.

We're also still very excited about our craft fair http://www.lfgss.com/thread44144.html Hoping that this will happen in July.

Yes the jumble is the first Sunday of the month. Need to start a new thread I suppose.

Are you selling the toaster because you haven't been selling enough toast? Because, to be honest, I didn't know you sold toast. I'm not saying for sure, but if I knew, maybe I would have bought some. Maybe make a sign and give toast one more chance?

I just have to write "give toast a chance" on the board. We're selling cos we got a better one. A Dualit that does muffins and crumpets too.

Just pitch up on the day. It all seemed to work out last time and we have a few more tables now.

Bunting. http://www.lfgss.com/thread42825-3.html

So the Jumble starts at 11, the Mountain bike world cup live from Fort William starts at 12 and the Criterium du Dauphiné Libéré is at 5pm. We're showing the whole lot on the big screen.

We've got some excess cafe stuff for sale too like a big shiny chrome 6 slot toaster for those with a big family. I am most excited about the bunting though.

The last Jumble was great so we're having them every month on the first Sunday of the month. The next one's the 6th of June at 11am.

Looking good already

sounds good - are they going to do a regular jumble too?

The Jumble is the first Sunday of the Month. Thread here http://www.lfgss.com/thread42825.html Next one is Sunday the 6th at 11am

We now have Bunting!

Thanks to everyone who came down. Hope to do this on a monthly basis from now on. Loved the stuff that was priced as "a beer", "cake", "espresso". Loved the maps, loved Digger's little 'Pret A Jersey' display. Thank you.
Mindy's Mercian sold for £170 later that day - total bargain.

Do we actually have to book half a table or anything, or can we just turn up at 11 with a smile on our face?

Just turn up. No idea what's going to happen but I'm sure we'll find places for people to put their stuff.

Robin Hatherell - he keeps the frame number records and details of owners. Top gent and very knowledgeable.

Really pleased that there''s so much interest. Just dug some mental stuff up to sell on Sunday, bike stuff as well as a whip (might be used full on a tandem), some goggles and some records.

We've been busy this weekend with the Giro and I'm starting to wonder whether we need more tables. Ideas very welcome on how we might get extra tables - either fold up tresles type things for the jumble or ideas on where we can get some nice tables and chairs permanently for the cafe which we'll need long term anyway.

Great. I'll see if I can get you some 'under the counter' decaff in

We're having a bring and buy sale just like at school except with beer and cycling on a big telly
http://www.lfgss.com/thread42825.html

We're having a bike jumble / bring and buy type sale at the cafe next Sunday morning (16th May) at about 11am. We're making it up as we go along but the basic idea is that you bring your stuff, plonk it on a table and sell it / swap it for other people's stuff. We don't want any pro traders so you can only bring as much stuff as you can carry.

It's free to display your wares. If it's sunny we can do it in the yard. The Giro is on the big screen from about 2pm.

It would be good to get an idea of numbers so if you could let us know if you plan to sell in the thread. If it's busy we may have to share tables.

Matthew Algie and Espresso warehouse are one and the same, they supply M&S & Pret to name a few of the big ones. They are famous for putting the beautiful retro styled Electra Barlume in coffee bars. Tinderbox was started up by David Williamson who was the top man at MA before he passed away last year. There's one in Angel so you don't have to go to all the way to Glasgow. One of the best things about Tinderbox was the music which David did himself with the help of rough trade. Not sure who does this now.

Thanks for the interest in Lookmumnohands! I will PM you but do check out the ad on www.londoncoffeejobs.co.uk
