Wanted: Anything Chater Lea, wooden rims...for Holdsworth

How big is Balki? He's nearby.

We can make this happen... JOL, dogsballs and Balki turning up at douchebag's door...

Want me to pull the trigger?

I'll handle this.

Innit! Let's get a posse together. I want tough guys, and not so tough guys, to make the tough guys look even tougher. And I want them in a line, going: tough, tough, soft, tough, soft soft, tough, tough, soft ... [/simpson movie ref]

@J Nope they haven't dug it up yet. Fingers crossed.

And then him replying, yeah please send it, I'm in Melbourne though is that OK? And me replying OK what's your address? And him going yeah send it, and me going OK you still haven't told me your address ... yada yada yads yads

He's on the Oz forum. Skully, I can post up asking him to contact you regarding payment.

englishmanconvictinmelbourne?

A friendly nudge would be nice. He hasn't let me know that he's received it, that he's happy or not happy, etc.

Of course, if his house just got burned down in a forest flood fire earthquake I'm not goinig to be pressing charges. It's just I shelled out to send the sodding thing. And he's gorn all quiet.

I've posted on his thread asking him to contact you... PM'd him on fixed.org asking to contact you or me too.

Go Balkster!

I will also seduce an attractive Interpol agent tomorrow and force her to reveal his address details.

Actually, I'll do this on Saturday. Got stuff on tmoorrow.

I thought I was strange.

I thought this also.

he used to post here under the name englishmaninOz
that is where I saw his posts for the same parts.
but now "The requested user does not exist."

you could follow the link from the bike photos, ... well, better not

Thanks BigBlock. Hope you're well mate.

Shit, that was a f@#ked couple of months.
Bikes have not been in my head during it.
I picked up the BB 2 weeks ago and sent Skully the cash. I was never going to stitch up anyone along the way, just been hard/consuming for a while.

Englishconvictinmelbourne is pretty genius. I would be willing to pay for my crimes I suppose.

If anyone cares anymore I'm getting the frame sprayed in the next couple of weeks, just got to work out about the wheels.

The evidence before Judge Skully is that you have exonerated yourself, and cleared of any charges and stains on your character. As such I ask constable Balki and Inspector Big Block to leave you free to go about your business. However, I am unable to pay for your return from Her Majesty's penal colony of Van Diemen's Land, so I'm afraid your stuck with Melbourne, and Melbourne's stuck with you for now. I hope you can find gainful employment now you have been pardoned, and raise sufficient funds to pay for your return to God's Own Country, England.

Oh and good luck with the build.

kicks dirt

I have some chrome Stronglight cottered cranks with a Chater Lea chrome chainring if your still looking?

@oscradavenport - i may be interested in those, have been trying for a few years (!!) to do up a frame that i know is pre-1953 (when the builder died) but not exactly sure of the date - probably 50 or 51. what sort of price did you have in mind?

nb, i'm currently not in the country, but back in a few days. cheers.
