The weather's really good news, I looked a week or so ago at the long range and there were thunderstorms . . I'll be there late Friday pm :)

Yep, I'm going, camping at the football pitch, and living on pizza from the takeaway at the top of the high st . . . can't wait :)

This bike and fender were sold recently on eBay.

The owner said it was just a piece of wood from an IKEA blind. Possible cheap solution.

Thats my old Alec Bird, (or at least it was until I sold it),

here's a close up of the super high tech fixing !! I got the rear bend up by leaving it in a cup of boiling water (tea !) and then holding it like that until it cooled down, it just pushes in/out, the "spring" of the wood holds it in place. I did make a front, but fixing it on was just too tricky for a woodwork retard like me :)
