thought i should reintroduce myself in here. been super busy with the marathon training and such, but i have managed to acquire a bike!
ended up getting a mongoose maurice off the bay after waiting a few weeks for a cheap frame to turn up, hopefully in the future ill build my own but me being me couldn't wait much longer. had it for a month or so now and with my fresh wage im looking into some changes, but i have a slight problme first.
my lock ring has become loose, and aswell as that, my chain seems loose. so i now need to sort that out, i went into harry halls but he figured id be looking at 15 or so to just tighten the ring/shorten the chain, and whilst i want it sorted quickly, i can live with riding SS for the time being whilst i acquire the tools. looking online it seems for the money he quoted i could pretty much buy the tools and do the the job myself, and at the same time leanr something i can use when i get round to building a bike from scratch!
