Cambridge Thursdays Social Ride

Hey guys,

I hope you're all well? I've been away/busy/dealing with some shit but should be returning to the fold soon.

Just not tonight.

But soon.

Get excited.

snow again? wtf, this should be fun
anyone coming down tonight?

hell yes, just spoke to rik and he'll be there too - im def going out for a pedal - also want to work on my 'feet-on-front-wheel' track stand...

me and baker have wussed out! we'll both be present and correct for polo this sunday however

did anyone get any photos of the silly fun in the snow?

does anyone have any single ring chainring bolts?
pretty urgento, i only have one and need 4 more. The only thing missing to complete my bike.

i can swap for beer (two for harvey) at the most though, my bank account is empty

or can swap for five campag double ring bolts....or a saddle, or something else you need. Really need 'em

Hold your horses guys! I've got an absolute SHED-load of decals badges etc etc... sort of 'off the back of a lorry'! Ha! I've got 6 boxes of the stuff, it's all in fantastic nik so i can have a dig to see if i've got anything you guys want and i'll just past them over...no skin off my nose!

Sorry i haven't got back to you guys sooner regarding the above! I've sorted some of the junk out of the boxes, and can either bring them down to the maypole, set up a stall in my garage...or i work south of cambridge so can easily drop anything off in that general area if its easier for people!

i say bring stuff down to the pole? you might have more potential buyers :)

I'm in anything for any bike related stuff

im sarf cambridge, where you at guvnor? could pop over yer gaffe and line your pockets with the finest shrapnel and queens heads in eckshange for your wares?

ooh got some 700c wheels the other day that would be right up your street, but they're now sitting with pride between the legs of a polo bike i built up the other day. i know a wee man who live in a trove full of bicycle treasure just down the road selling 700c wheels for, cough, a fiver a piece, among many other bike bargains!

please do tell.... obviously not with track hubs though i presume :)

yes do tell young man then we can go get some bits tomorrow

yes do tell young man then we can go get some bits tomorrow

not if i beat you to it and buy all the crap off him first

MUAHHHHHHHAHHAAA laughs evilly and strokes his cat

i googled "wee man" and i dont think he's the guy you're talking about?

hahaha i have a good idea of who it could be plus its just down the road

ah but i cannot tell all, it would spoil the romance! he sold all the 700c wheels the other day though, but there is lots of other stuff there. I get the impression all the stuff is second hand and parted off broken bikes.

he doesn't 'do' track hubs, he said he'd buy some in if i wanted them, but they were £40 a pop!

We are all really keen ....I'm after decent holdsworth , carlton , and bsa brass head badges and decals or anything for Chater lea if you come across them

cheers Harvey

does no one have any spare singlering bolts then, i can swap for something else you need

I might have some shit ,cross threaded, burred ,broken ,rusted and manky ones

I might have some shit ,cross threaded, burred ,broken ,rusted and manky ones

dude, sure thing...if they can hold a chain ring ill trade them in for some fresh double ring campag ones.

I've got loads of them knocking about maybe try selling them on the bay ?

Maybe Buy some off Rick ?

yeah yeah....no worries ive put some spacers on the double ones for now, they hold the ring fine.
I just completely ran out of money (i.e. 20p left combined cash and credit card) and that was the last thing i needed to finish my bike....
dont worry, ill just ride like this for a week or so until ive sold something to buy proper ones.
