Will from HubJub has some rather niche stuff left over, any takers?

I'm coping pretty well with life post-Hubjub --have in fact started to have some fun with commercial writing (although alarmingly broke).

I've been dripfeeding the last stock via eBay, but have ended up with an annoying highly-specialized rump which (statistically speaking) is likely to be of interest to your readers. It is:

EAI cogs, brand new, 13t 3/32, 14t 3/32, 15t 3/32, 19t 3/32, 20t 3/32, several
Sachs Sturmey cogs (three-dog type), many sizes, tons
NItto B2500AA 'courier' bars, brand new, dead straight, 25.4mm clamp, gold ano, one pair only

I'm keen to close the warehouse now, so I'm open to sensible offers. Earlybirds welcome; deals for bulk buys; etc etc...

Best, W.

Interested people should email: mail@willmeister.com

The EAI cogs are lovely and well worth snapping up

I just bought a 3/32 chainring and need a largeish cog so may as well go full 3/32, what's a fair price for the 20t?

Allow me to introduce myself, in this my first LFGSS post, as the the new owner of Hubjub. I hope that, as the new custodians of Hubjub, we remain approachable and continue to be of service to the fixed and single speed community.

Whilst Hubjub has been trading for the last few months, we have been quiet, with our heads down and grafting hard, but now the work is starting to pay off. I can announce we have finished a total redevelopment of the Hubjub site. This new site coincides with our re-stocking of the Phil Wood range.

Moving to a new system has altered the appearance, which we understand will bring mixed feelings with a site as beloved of its users as Hubjub (and yes, we were fans!). It had to change: Drew the webmaster was managing okay but the whole show was hand coded and keeping on top of broken links was almost a full time job. We have worked hard to keep the charm and character of Hubjub as best we can. The new system will hopefully free us to focus on rebuilding the catalogue and writing those descriptions people actually like to read. The new design makes it easy to add new brands or products, so we can experiment with new products, and catalogue more of the stuff Hubjub has always done off-list.

Notwithstanding our aim to have a more comprehensive catalogue of the best stuff we can find, along with occasional curveball products, we aim to continue fulfilling special orders. We might be out of the way here in Llandrindod but we share our town with the National Cycle Collection, so if there is a vintage part you can't identify or find spares for, maybe we can help! In the meantime we value your thoughts on the new site and, in turn, I look forward to participating on these forums more!

Best,
David

Welcome and best of luck to you.

Site looks good and you have Purple Extreme, so order coming soon.

Good work David and welcome.

Website looks good but I hope you don't mind me pointing out a typo.... "categories" rather than "categorys"!

Hey David, I have already placed an order through your good selves. Whilst only a small order, it's clear you are carrying on the tradition of quality service. Thanks for making the time and pointing out I'd actually need 2 rolls of the newbaum ;)

All the best for future.

Ah, loving that the new site is as good as the original.

Does the thread title need to be changed?

How high is the wall?

logo in the top left needs hyperlinking back to the index! great work on the site and good luck with the new hubjub

New site and stock looks great! So much Phil.

Thanks for the kind response. We aim to sort both those bugs - as Upstart knows spelling matters - and jpb we knew people expect the logo to return to home but have not worked out how to set that up in the template. The webmaster is off on paternity now, but on the flip side, might have lots of sleepless nights to chip away at it :)

TODO List for your web dev:

1) / should use a 301 redirect to /store and not a meta-refresh header

2) Logo should link back to /store

3) The payment and shipping logos in the top right add nothing except to make the site look cheap, remove them.

4) Move the search into the header, top right

5) Move the currency into the footer... it's seldom used, people will only ever change it once

6) Remove CSS drop-shadow effect... I thought my screen was dirty and it didn't help me read the text

7) Revisit the left side brand|category navigation... it's crazy. Better as an Accordion menu if you really want to do this: http://www.menucool.com/vertical/accordion-menu-css

8) Category page should include category images

9) The

You not doing clamp on brakes no mo'?

Best of luck with the new site.

Nice catalogue contents, but you need a good graphic designer as well as a webgeek.

Yours,
An employed webgeek.

Thanks Velocio for taking the time to put down your observations. Whilst my dev was not in on Friday he has had a bit of a play and actually picked most of the low hanging fruit from the list.

We are looking at an awesome slider menu

Drop shadows not done, search in the CSS for: text-shadow: -1px -1px 2px #777777;

Nor category images.

Some of it is done though... I won't go through it all, it looks nice, it will look nicer in time I have no doubt.

Not right now but will hopefully add that to catalogue in due course. Can you remember which make he used to sell?

Hi Velicio, you clearly know your stuff and we are in process of acting upon all your comments. Usually our dev can do the difficult right away with the impossible taking a little longer, but him and his wife are expecting another addition to the family today so I feel obliged give him a few hours off!
