    After fabricating my own tensioner for my converted road frame I've decided to put a mini batch of these into a production run, here is the first lot on offer, made from corrosion resistant high grade A2 stainless steel with lovely mirror polished finish.

    A lot of hard work has gone into making these so I'm asking £8 each, you really don't need a pair but if you really wanted a 2nd I would do a discount.

    Pm me if you're interested

    UPDATE!

    Due to popular demand I will be keeping these tensioners in production for as long as there is a call for them,

    The price is £8.00 for 1, £14.00 for a pair
    Postage to UK is £1.00, EU is £2.00 and rest of the world £2.50

    If you wanted to pick up in London I work in Shoreditch E2

    Please Paypal to 'tristoo@yahoo.com' and I will do my best to send it 1st class that day.

    Cheers

    Since making that tug I've had quite a bit if interest in it so I'm going to make a few in the workshop to sell, I've done few more prototypes to get the sizing right and taken into consideration a slightly wider area around the wheel nut to give a nice consistent footprint onto the drop-out. They will be made fully stainless steel, I'll have them ready in about a week or so, I'll Pm those who show interest andput a post up too

    Excuses could include:

    1) It wasn't me, someone must have been using my name as an alias
    2) It was clearly an amber light
    3) I was trying to safely get across to the other side of the road whilst the cars were halted (true)
    4) No brakes
    5) An injured swan was nearby

    Ok, I got caught running a red on the Mile End Rd this morning, dumb move as a police car was right behind me, I was at fault no question.

    So I get a 'Fixed Penalty Notice (non-endorsable) of £30', I gave my details up correctly, I thought I might have been let off but politeness got me nowhere and got a load of stick from the police man about ''how you lot complain about the roads so much...then you go doing that... blah blah blah''

    In retrospect I could have given a false first name and a false address, so I'm thinking shall I bother paying and risk the chance of a court summons in the hope the police have more pressing things to be doing than chasing this up for a mere £45?

    (NB: I don't want a debate about whether what I did was right or wrong)
