Tour De Ville, sell off of remaining stock...

A friend's just rung me and said the landlords are selling off all that remains, I didn't think there'd be much there, but he says there's three floors of goodies, Jos has taken frames and best stuff, obviously, but wheels, rims, hubs, kit, lots of stuff is there.
Starts officially tomorrow, but they are there today (has the potential to be barginous, for they don't know the value of anything).

in there like swimwear..

Festus if you spot a Rigida DP18 rim then please grab it for me- I cannot make it to this so will recompense you in beer or cash if you find one.

Phil hubs? I'll give you £20 mate and that's my final offer!

what's happening?! i don't get it.

Flip!

shucks.

Sad... :[

Let' not tarnish Jos' name, as we don't have all the facts and he is an original forum member.

I wish I could make it to TdV today.

I'll miss the shop if it's really closed.

Sad news, again.

is this happening now?

is this happening now?

sounds like it happened already.

ah. i've missed something.

shit - shame they went! But good if there's cheap stuff going...

I for one am sorry to hear that the shop hasn't survived. I have some nice memories of hanging out drinking coffee and sometimes stronger things, getting help (and buying the odd thing!) from Jos, and Keith when he was there.

RIP TdV at Lamb Lane. I hope, Jos, and Tanya, you do OK doing whatever next, if you read this.

:(

Damn. I bought my first fixie from those guys and it was a sweet build. If you're reading this, are you still building bikes out of your flat?

Just back from TdV.
Basically everything that's left is on sale tomorrow from 11am.

It's pretty much like a giant jumble with lots of second hand bit and pieces.
There's a few frames left, some rims, some jazzy lycra but mostly parts, everywhere. I gather it's mostly second hand, but if you've got time to sort through, then you'll find some bargains, particularly as you get to name your price pretty much.

Grahame the landlord is very keen for lots of people to come and clear the stuff.
I'm not sure how long or for how many days it's open.

It felt a bit wrong to go swoop on TdV's stuff, but I gather they took the best stuff so fingers crossed they're back in business somewhere.

Anyone- Rigida DP 18 if there is one, let me know!

will do.

Don't think there was.

If anyone whos going down could pick me up a pair of nos 32hole clincher rims(lo profile pref) for sub-£30 then theres a couple of pints in it for them. Wish i could make it down, feel bad picking over the wreckage of the shop but hey.

I'm gonna pop down tomorrow, but if anyone gets a cheap set of track cranks my housemate is desperate for some.
