Birmingham Trades & Sales

Hmm, well still best to have two polo bikes, it's like having a string of polo ponies but cheaper ;)

I should keep it as a polo bike, but I don't play and I need the money to fund my bike habit ;)

Anyone going to the Redditch jumble on Saturday...All the tables are sold so will be busy..Im thinking of taking some wheels and track stuff over on mates stand....

If anyone is interested in scrap yard bikes I have a lead that may be useful. Guy I spoke to on Monday said come back Saturday and he will have a sort out and see what he has. 10 minutes ride from town. Eastside. Could be trash but might be some treasure there too. Did see a vintage bike , possibly 1930s Phillips, in a sad state and an old 10 speed. Other bikes were further back and difficult to get at apparently.

2 older guys in the scrap yard office were reminiscing about riding and falling off fixed in the olden days. PM for details if anyone fancies it. Not sure if I can go as the outlaws have threatened to visit although may get away with it as an excuse to escape for a bit.

I should ignore this, But I dont think ill manage for to long! Expect a PM!

would make a good polo bike nudges MG

My housemates would murder me. Three bikes is enough.

The surly?! Really?

Anyone got a silver 25.4 or 26.4 seatpost?
also any cheap black bar tape, or know where to pick some up

I'm trying to go (waiting for a lift). I'm definitely after some wheels...

I might be up for this. Looking at train times I can get to Redditch for a little before 10am. Quick ride from the station etc. I'd be going via New Street if anyone is thinking of going by train? (09:13 from New street).

Sweet, apparently it's hard to find though so was hoping to drive? Otherwise, I'm up for train but I'm on the lookout for a bike for a friend. Might have to try and ghost it back. I'll die.

Come see me..;-)

Yeah, I'd be on the lookout for a frame too. I reckon I can strap stuff to my back/onto my panniers (taking my hybrid with rack/bags).

Trying to get my flat mate interested, and just posted in the Cov forum to see if I can get anyone else interested :)

Almost tempted my flat mate, but got Andy (Down to my last 15p) coming along.

Come a say hi then you lot..Ive got some nice swag mainly wheels, frames and some TA rings..

OK, just arranged to meet Andy in B'ham New St at 9:30 to catch the train to Redditch at 9:43. I'll be getting to Brum for 9am, so I might make a quick trip up to Urban Coffee while I wait for Andy.

This is all horribly early for my day off. Text you in the am.

I figured it's best to get there at a good time, so you don't miss any bargains ;) I dunno... if it's too early, I could make it later! Never been to one before so I'm winging it...

if any of you peeps see a chain tensioner for cheap cheap pick it up for me please? Not a fixed..

Utter cack.

Would go along but have an appointment with my pit =)

Look out for a short fat git wearing an LFGSS cycle cap :)

uh early's probably best...although I only just got home.

Hah. I'm so old. I was in bed watching episodes of Boardwalk empire at 10:30. :/

Oh, I just figured out it's 10am - 1pm... quite a short jumble so I guess earlier is better! Still aiming to be in Brum for 9, leaving New Street at 9:43 :) Give me a txt if you wake up in time ;)

Just got back from there, took £100, went to buy a lightweight frame, brake levers, wheelset and a saddle.

Came back with a High-ten heavy frame, cheap front wheel, seatpost, new tyre, and san marco rolls.

Only spent £40 tho.

No way!
I got a wheelset and my gear setup. Polo bike here we go!

Due to a change of Circumstances one has to move into a smaller flat and will lose my garage at the same time... I also have to pay the no doubt imense bill due at Mercian for my OLMO resteration, So some stuff has to go!
