He has a 3 speed already built sturmey archer and brand new frames and forks. The 3 speed was too rich for me especially as all the stuff i already have so thought the single speed. That way i dont need to find wheels and bearing and i can change it how i like.

Thats it now

Off on the train in the morning. I havent taken a bike on the train since there were mail cars with the double doors and a man in them so it will be fun 🤔
Have been thinking i may put the shimano nexes 3 speed in the wheels once its home and change out the bars for sure. I will post pics.

Gatwick yodel are awful. I had a mobile go missing from Virgin. Signed for apparently. Not by me. I had been getting some bootsale stuff together in my dining room that week and it was all piled under the front window. I was loading it in the car on the sunday morning and found a parcel.
Turns out the driver had just dropped it through the window behind the pile! I had a 2nd one delivered by royal mail the day before.
I just dispair anytime a seller is sending whatever i have bought by Yodel.

I have always like raleigh record 20" tyres always whitewall. I know they are not everyones cup of tea, but this guy on ebay has 47-406, 37-440 and 37-451
Item no.122350597678

Those tyres are awsome

Looks like im getting a singlespeed with alexrims DA22 451 wheels. I will worry about getting a 3 speed hum on it later. Just though that as he has a couple already built id go for the full bike. I can fiddle with it as i like but i can also pick it up on the train and ride it home.😎

I think im going to have a look what he has as he has some built up already with single speed 2 speed sturmey archer and frames and forks. So depends what money he wants really.

Sounds like hes got all sorts just got to get up there now. Thats sorted my Christmas present 😀

Skydancer, your the winner, just spoke to Nigel at London Recumbants, wohoo!

SKYDANCER. thats exactly what i have in mind too.

Yeah i saw that and as im closer to Brighton than London i had ruled it out. Although they do look very similar to an old folder with that dropped crossbar and i have a few of them 😉

Bmx tallbike would do it😉

London recumbants aie?

dagnabbit $129 shipping

Oh that one, bloody hell im so cheap. (the triton one)
see now the pagan, thats what i need $170 bargin, bet the shipping is just as much plus tax.

see now i like that, shame about the dropout, but ali frame, $90 shipping, but it is the cheapest and some cool colours.

hmmm, Wheelies say not any more, Triton are closed at 5pm? but cannot see anything on the website, as for the Gios £600!!

The Alpini on ebay has sold today, gutted, should have bought that.

yeah i saw that, bit pricey for me, i want something i can lock up and not have to worry too much about, shame there are no options from Alpini to just buy frame and forks, but even then i recon there must be a cheap chinese one somewhere. It didnt take them long to copy the rocker BMX for us cheapskates, so im surprised its not caught on?

Oooh check out the "Bigshot polo"

Cheers. Yes the hooligan does look fun.
I too have a thing for the old and have a Raleigh 20 and 3 other generic (true 20") folder/shoppers Hurcules and others.
The twenty and the folders have different size wheels the twentys are slightly bigger (euro).
But yes that why i like the look of the velos.
Im thinking 3 speed sturmey or nexus and sit up bars mabie even bmx bars.

Ill keep looking. 😐

😂😂😂

There is also an alpini one on there for £145 ono. But i dont think i want to pay that much for clear plastic peddles 😐

Im really surprised as they are aparently really popular in Japan and China. I thought it would be like finding the copies of the mini bmxs?
There is one like that Orbega on ebay just search mini velo.
I just fancy the high crossbar, but there is no way im paying £600😂

Hi. Its been some time. Glad your all still here.
So im seeing these mini velo bikes from china.
Whats the easiest way to get them and can you just buy the frame and forks?
Call me what you like, but i really like how they look, like a mans shopper 😂

Cheers.
