He definetely fucked for sure (in the wallet that is)

You shouldve said earlier, me and harsheek went to a bike jumble today and came away with full of swag. There was tons of nice stuff there, including lots of campagnolo for 1/4 ebay prices.

share the wealth big fella.... what did you get exactly !

Shamim you are a dark horse.

what swag you got then? anything to sell... I still need a stem for some Cinellis dog!!!

I wasnt expecting it to be as good as it was, only took £20 with me and ended up borrowing another £50 off harsheek in separate "please sir, just a little more" goes.

I grabbed a couple nice 3T stems (one with you in mind), which I think Cinelli's might just squeeze into.

Nothing to interest you dan sorry! Seriously, I was expecting it to be rubbish and overpriced. I couldve spent another 6hours there but I was all out of cash and all out of time.

I really wanna go to a bike jumble. There's one in redditch at the end of the month I think.

how do you find out about these jumbles?

Do it mate... lemme know.

Hope your bike is still going strong, you managed to get a rear wheel?

got a 17t now. anyone got a 46t 135mm bcd (3/32") chainring?

aeronaught - got no frames i'm afraid. i'll keep an eye open

Coventry Eagles are nice old commuters/cruisers/touring bikes usually for 27" wheels.

I have one, understated but quite nice in an 'old man' kinda way. Dont kill it, they are quite rare.

Ive got a couple of options in the pipelines man. Im meeting Butty tomorrow at ideal to check out a rear wheel he's selling for his mate.

I need a good quality rear road hub, can be old can be new. Ideally with a cassette or freewheel included. Will take a complete wheel if needs be.

Budget is modest though.

When is Sprocket Cycles open?
Is it still in business?
I remember it was closed Monday and Tuesday, is that still right?
I cycle past there on my way home usually and it always seems closed!
Its a great shop too.

Is anyone else going to go to the jumble in redditch and if so, can I have a lift? Otherwise it's gonna have to be the cross city line for Ben.

ps Sprocket cycles was open when we had thew alleycat in october(?)

Redditch bike jumble was sweeeet, spent about £85, way more than I was expecting to. Saw adrian from sprocket there, he tried to sell me some hubs. I didn't buy them. Didn't see anyone else although I left just after 11. Can't wait for the one in Erdington.

Sharing all those same sentiments.

I think Adrian is making a stash.

You pick up anything nice? I was just confused at the one in worcester, if you have a build in mind & a shopping list of bits you need it would make it a lot easier.

Hmm I dunno about 'making a stash'. He was too skint to lend me £1,000 to go to ECMC the other day.

I told him I'd pay him on time every month over the next ten years but he was having none of it!

Ye man I was totally out of my depth,got a few nice things. I'll show you the best thing I got at CM.. ooooooooohh the anticipation

Was it any kind of carbon wheel? I saw a trispoke one there but didn't ask the price.

and that giant cadex frame! old school....
