• yep will get down for a gander and if we have enough mallets/balls and all that stuff will get amongst it.

    skoota - can you whisper me your number dude

  • stelle is gonna go buy a ball/s
    ratboy did you buy any mallets?

  • Could someone whisper me their number? Just in case for when I get lost.

  • snowy_again The Rec carpark? I'm practically there already. Well, apart from the fact that i'm currently watching Manics fans who slept outside all night long, simply to be in the front of the queue to get into the Academy first this evening.
    Just need to find a new front brake for the polo bike...

    Me have new Shimano 105, ten dorra, you wan'?

    I'm in Brixton 'til 3.30 if you wanna come get it, out on the lash tonight so gonna miss polo, un-be-lie-va-ble! :(

    Call me on zerosevenninesixeight zerotwoeightsixtwoeight if yer interested...

    Joe :)

  • Darn, i've come to Vauxhall for the other job. I've not even got a desk to photo (well I have but its someone else's desk and its covered in domestic violence information, so not exactly an indication of my normal life).

    But i'll take up the brake offer another time. I'm sure I'll have an old one kicking around in a box somewhere at home. And i've got some cheapy levers in my desk drawer, oh and a massive new pair of handlebars (which is actually a decathalon 2 bike bike rack, but I'm determined to adapt)

  • Ok i got 3 mallets built, had to use a different piping that i've seen before, but it shouldnt shatter, its just smaller than gas piping. Flatlander if you've got an old innertube hanging about can you bring so we can wrap your handle, i ran out.
    So thats 3 mallets, actually i think stelle has one, 2 more???

  • nice work Brendan!
    how did you get on with the drilling and lining the bolts up with the pole? did you bolt through the pole as well?

  • hamster I'll be there but I don't have any mallets or balls.

  • can some one tell me where i am going again??? birxton car park??? : )
    can i grab some one's mobile number will call before i head out to make sure we are still on, not because i am going to get lost though
    thanks

  • im gonna come down but couldent get a mallet (the ones i looked at were too small)

  • clefty nice work Brendan!
    how did you get on with the drilling and lining the bolts up with the pole? did you bolt through the pole as well?

    yeh i bolted through the pole. I made one with a piece of wooden dowling in the middle to see what it be like as a shock absorber... imagined myself as a tennis racquet engineer for a moment.

  • 27 Brixton Station Road - should be easy enough to find. catch ya later all.

  • i still need to bolt mine, and maybe sand down the pipe edges a bit with a belt sander, then i'm good to go. I still might make a wooden one over xmas down at my mates workshop tho, as I liked the weight of the wooden one i played with the other week.

  • the pipe edges will wear down in about 2 mins of playing ;)

  • you havent seen how straight my sawing skillz are!

  • The mold is home and so am i!!!! I have conquered the monstrous silicone cocoon!!!!!!!!!

    Er, also just checked that map, and the polo court is practically in my house.

    I'll be there 7.30 sharp!
