fascist bastards....had it coming!.....for once the IRA.....did something 'useful'..for a change......although they let us down by not killing Thatcher in Brighton!

I remember them on the telly when i was a kid and they seemed like kindly uncles, how could they be such evil nazis ?

Looks can be deceptive...who would have thought 'Uncle Joe' to be a heartless mass murderer.....i believe the twins were active in the National Front......

btw can you do me a favour and buff up a Campag aero seatpin?

No worries, it will take off the laquer though. Joe Stalin looked like satan . State communism sucked !

Thats no problem...i will sell it...keeping it shiny becomes the buyers problemo.....I will drop it off with you on Friday.

In hindsight, Stalin does look like Satan....but not to the western allies during WW2...with his moustache and pipe...he looked like an uncle figure kind and friendly...hence the uncle Joe label.....at the time he was our brave ally in the east....fighting fascism.....Which he was!.....

He had a great tasche though . Logically though, we don't need leaders.

Leon you should be on the History channel every time you put ..........'s could be the cue for the sentimental music they always play. I'm going to bring you back a Joe Stalin glove puppet from the Communist shop in Bangkok

I would prefer a Lenin and/or a Trotsky glove puppet!....Are you not on your stall today?

Rained off lazy sod day .I'm gonna do some ordering and my books and hopefully braze some of the mountain of frames Rick has littered my workshop with . Once i get my fat arse off the sofa.

pm me your address...as i am going to see an osteopath in East Barnwell at 3pm.....so i am going past you...i can drop in the seatpost...and have a gander at your Hetchins!

OOOh mississ ! ok

L'Eroica here you come!...Assuming the tubes don't snap or the gears don't jam!!

Anyone know what happened to Freshtripe? Website has been down for ages

dunno what's up with your dns but freshtripe is running fine for me, Jamie is a really helpful guy.

bought some bits in the last few weeks.

Has anyone ordered anything from these folks recently? ive never had any problems in the past but my order of 3 weeks ago hasnt showed up and there is no answer to my emails. the blog hasnt been updated since mid Feb. a bit worrying.

hmm never had any problems, jamie is a really helpful guy. they are a little slow at times, a lot of the items are pre order and quite often take far longer to arrive than the date stated on website.

Yes, exactly the same thing is happening to me right now, really begging for a lever to replace the wrong one sold me by a user here whose name I can't type (funny characters).

So, I've been trying to sort out these new upright bars for my broken elbow for three weeks, and this freshtripe silence is making me worry I should now look elsewhere.

@freshtripe sort it out mate.

Not sure what is going on with them but it took about a month to respond to an enquiry about stock for me earlier in the year.

A month?!?

I'm going to try to retrieve my money from paypal and find another supplier.

Dispute filed.

19 days to go.

Jamie got in touch today, apologised for being incommunicative (was getting his stuff to Bespoked for the w/e just gone) so has ameliorated the situation for now. Apology accepted. Thing is Freshtripe have good stuff so I don't want to stop using them.

Glad it's sorted!

Still no bits for me, i had an email on 2nd April saying they were coming but then nothing. Agree with @Skülly, hope they get it sorted as i like the stuff at Freshtripe and theyve been very good in the past.

Well, not exactly sorted yet, but at least he got in touch.

I was a bit sus that he said 'the delivery with your part is coming today!' but then nothing, that was two days ago.

Seems like a bit of a bullshitter really.
