Newly resurfaced Essex lane

Just wondered if anyone had one for sale?
Bit of a longshot I know but I cant find a second hand one anyware.

Thanks

Rob

Just been past Dalston Junction, no information that hasn't already been posted.
My thoughts are with the rider.

PM sent

Would you take £100?

If anyone of you guys is driving to Manchester on Sunday for the Bike-jumble and is looking for a passenger or two to share the cost for the petrol. We are two guys and our driver left us in the lurch. We don't mind riding in different cars. So if anyone has at least one seat available.......would be amazing if we could get a lift.

Cheers,
Andi and Rob

Was half way thu watching the tour......then the rain came and it all went black!

Was not good, Oh well good storm!

Will everyone be bringing a flower along like we did for Eilidh's memorial ride? [U][/U]

I don't know anyone going, just realized what a shallow justification for not going, after re-reading the original rider down thread.

Not again, terrible news.
My thoughts are with the family.

Great Idea teenslain, something has to be done to get peoples attention. It seems the number fatalities with lorries are not enough on their own.

Take care people.

Yep drill it out, file it down, if your going to turn it into a fixed. Thats what I did in the end, saves all the half link trouble.
Built my one up about a year ago and it's been good to me, its a bit heavy but not to bad.
Really wouldn't blame you for keeping it geared could look nice after a bit of a tidy up. I tried to find a bit out about it as well and failed. Always wanted to know a bit more..
Great for a skip find!
