• Serious? Fucking yes. How long are you going to be at the pub? I'm working from home but could sneak out...

    Congrats.

    Gutted though because 7 is only one away from 8 :(

  • And from 6 :( In fact 7 is usually my number of choice but I wasn't feeling it
    Do it proud iamnotarobot!

  • I've got a pair of these in gold.

    Too much? :D

  • good stuff! looking forward to a build thread!

  • You didn't win then?

  • I want my money back!

    You didn't win then?

  • Only playing again if the price of the ticket is £9.49

  • He's tall enough to fit it!

    Excellent. Now he just needs to be cool enough to put a pink Aerospoke, neon green Ourys and a Wald basket on it.

    Never seen Max before but I thought he was taller..?

  • Max wasn't there. Shame, would have been nice to see him again. (No irony.)

  • I can confirm it was all above board, I checked all the numbers and the process.

    I'm sure you all trust Pistoffski anyway - his reputation proceeds him - but he wanted to know there were no irregularities!

  • proceeds

    'precedes'

  • I was tempted, but I'm lazier than you.

  • Oliver, of all people I would have thought you would have spotted that pun!

    Also having just read this:

    Maybe you're right about Google.

  • Woohoo home at last. Thanks again for the frame & messages! I now have some tricky decisions to make!

    Sorry for the slight anticlimax of me not actually being there for the draw!

  • I now have some tricky decisions to make!

    sorted

  • Max wasn't there.

  • Congrats, IAmNotARobot!

  • Now in the hands of imanotarobot! If it makes anyone feel a bit better, he's tall enough to fit it!

    This

  • So close yet so far away! Congrats IAmNotARobot! Question is are you going to build it up or sell it on?

  • Congrats.
    Glad it's gone to someone tall enough to not have an excuse for not building it up and riding it into the ground over many years.

  • It's sat on my mantelpiece for now until I decide what to do with it.

    I need to give it a measure tonight to see if it will fit, probably different geo but it's 2cm (ST) smaller than my Bob Jackson, if it does I'll have to scavenge parts of the BJ to ride it (possibly using the Makino as a summer frame & BJ as winter). If it doesn't fit I'll probably sell it on so someone else gets to use it & put the money towards a flashy new road frame.

  • For a guaranteed sale on ebay just take your clothes off and then retake that photo.
