A boat upholsterer?
I LIVE IN SE LONDON MATE.

Quiz some narrowboat owners.

On the Croydon Canal yeah?

That's the one. The Croydon to Brighton Navigation.

Oh hold on that might be the M23.

Maybe ask digger? He was doing lots of boat work a few years back.

Anyone in Bristol an e-Bullitt or two? There’s two on Facebook very cheap.

These are from Urb-It, a courier company, no? Likely to be ragged, from what I've heard.

Anyone got a 451 20” rim going spare? Or got a link for something fairly low budget

Long shot maybe, but if anyone has a canopy for a Bullitt then I’d love one :)

I've got an unused (but probably marked from storage) Alienation Ankle biter. It's got a machined sidewall and I think 28 holes.

You can ask Paradise Cycles for am OEM Omnium one. I can add it to next week's shipment.

I for one wish to see you in a wind tunnel on the Bullitt

I can’t help any more. They just demolished my one :(

Yeah, I think you’d get that one for £375 ;)
Seriously I’ve only heard good things. Kona’s normal decent build quality and a cargo bike for not too large a cargo. I believe they are still rated to carry 300lbs + rider.

Good bike but bear in mind you can't fit regular panniers.

very cool death trap

My brain can't handle that, you're gonna have to explain. Old Uni aero testing lab? Whats gonna happen to that fan? I'd love the stator/Rotor motor. Would make for an interesting experimentation.

As in its yours and that's what you're after, or the seller has confirmed that's what they'd take?

Biggest obstacles are the finance department and space. Although I have a ground anchor that I could use then store it in our side alley with a cover.

Also it's 20" and I'm 5'8" so Idk if it'd be a bit big. However, I'd really like to start taking my eldest to school by bike so am really tempted.

@hugo7 I have some ortlieb 2.1 pannier clips that fit the Kona Ute / minute rear rack if interested.

I work at a national lab and there were three old wind tunnels on site. I was the last one to work in the buildings so got quite familiar with them. They’ve been demolishing them to put up a new (unrelated) lab. That one in the picture was used by the McLaren F1 team in the 80s and 90s, who installed a rolling road. Power was actually still there when I was using the building but there were too many interlocks and I couldn’t quite figure out how to fire them up :(

The fans were about 3.5m diameter on 250kW motors. I thought about trying to take one out but it was always going to be a matter of what I was going to do with it and where the hell I could put it!

No not mine, but it’s been for sale for a while so think they would take a good offer.

As people use fans when on the turbo, you could have made a special feels like descending an alpine pass Fan?

Thanks for the tip. I have an old Minute frame in storage at my folks that I should probably do something with.
