Credit crunch garage clearance?

How much did the Bentley go for?

was that the one that was on ebay a while ago for about 800?

800 for a Bentley?

:P

Got it for £700, don't think he sold the Bentley! Seems that he had it built up last year, never rode it and is now selling it. He said he has a few Rourkes (as well as the Bentley) so obviously not short of a bob or two

Thats a lovely Rourkie.

@ aserota like the Euro bar tape.

My 'Birds Custard' Rourke is up for sale if you're interested Ved 61cm smooth ride.

ha ha! not in the market right now pravy! but thanks for the offer! x

£60 frame forks headset.

I measured the forks are 1-2mm out of track and the campagnolo record headset is grinding like two teenagers at a house party.
It will cost up to £20 for a professional fork re-track then you're good to go!

Prav, why the sell?

got too many bikes, and £60 cash is the final push to get the caygill on the road.
Even after selling a bike yesterday I have 6 bikes and a frameset. Trying to skim down to 5, then once caygill is back the 'lego bike' frameset will probably go and finalise on 4:
Caygill Fixed, TI 12-speed, Ti MTB, Polo/Pub.

you aply the rule backwards N-1

i'm at 4 bikes atm. i need the money for the Raleigh respray at armourtex. no more for a while.

Yeah but Ved, your bikes are shit.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

nice, i <3 Gios

NIce one Veevee - but didn't you buy a bike yesterday?

Well I'd been looking at the Gios for a while then the Ellis Briggs turned up which I couldn't refuse. One thing led to another... The Gios is mint but the Ellis Briggs needs some love and care so I can enjoy one and have a nice project with another one.

VeeVee 3 - 2 Jaygee

Oh my excuse is that the Ellis Briggs is just between my and Jaygee's size so we can share it. So VeeVee 2.5 - Jaygee 2.5

Aaaah thats nice. Very diplomatic answer...

Just made this rideable tody. Still need to get a brake and maybe change the tyres to something black
