Oi, Mmm Bop!

Might have a beater you can borrow. I'll see what my brother's doing with it.

Cheers B&D, v.helpful. Much appreciated. Let me know, or even better you can email her directly.

Actually, which production co is she working for on this?

They're called Partizan.

UPDATE - 28/07/10 - 10AM: Prop bike gathering ends today around 6PM if you wanted to get your pics across. Pics to: maryannfoster1@mac.com. Eyethankyew to everyone who's responded so far.

Hi,

My girlfriend is the prop buyer on an upcoming Mark Ronson video. She needs to hire several 'hero' bikes for the main shots and borrow for free numerous other non specific, nice looking bikes for the background shots.

Bikes needed:
In the vague hope that you might have one of the main bikes, here's the 'hero' list. You'll get paid for the hire/use. Ignore the crossed out Mark Ronson Vektar:

The 'extras' list which is where I'm guessing you're more likely to come in consists of about 20 non-specific bikes that are good looking, stylish and in decent condition for crowd scenes. There's unlikely to be any budget for the use of these.

So just to be clear....

......most music vid's are traditionally diabolical in the budget department and this one is no different. Honestly, they're fucking crap. You'll get paid if you have for hire one of the 'hero' bikes and it's in mint condition but generally she's looking to borrow for free as much as she can. As a gesture she'd like to make a donation to the forum (if there's any money left from the budget) via myself.

EDIT:
Her job just started today. This means that it's difficult to give an accurate idea of the hire price she might be able to pay for a 'hero' bike. Some bikes will inevitably cost more than others. She'll have a better idea of how the budget can be apportioned as the week progresses. Sorry if this is vague for now.

Dates & times:

The shoot happens next Monday August 2nd. Unfortunately bike owners can't come to the shoot.
Bikes will be collected this Friday July 30th by the props transport van and returned next Tuesday August 3rd.
Pick up/drop off times can be arranged with you via the props department on this email:
maryannfoster1@mac.com.

Damage to your bike is very unlikely but if it did happen then insurance is in place to cover it.

And in case you're wondering, this is all genuine, above board and definitely NOT an elaborate ruse to steal lots of nice bikes!

Cheers for any help you might be able to give :)

H.

Man, that will be phenomenal. The scenery will be breathtaking.

Fucking cunts.

Nice one.

Cheers for the heads up. Missed this.

What a cunt.

i think there is a good reason, considering he has measured it and discovered it to be 1"

What are you on about? I was referring to the typical response to this kind of entirely reasonable post.

Cue someone posting a pic of a ruler, typing UTFS or just being generally ill tempered and winding themselves up for no good reason. Yawn.

haha, facts from scoble.

Moog slams Ed!

^ this is the truth.

Don't care about cool. Just looking for facts. Cheers.

Ok, thanks Ed.

Look like the good ol' formula hubs is still better than Phils.

Ed, what makes Formula hubs superior to Phil hubs?

Cheers andyp.

Piccie pic piccolo's?

A mate of mine chose to describe his friend/groom's history using photos. The photos were all pulled from random sources and my friend had photoshopped the grooms head onto them. He managed to weave a story with it and apparently it went down a storm. Everyone loved it. Pretty good twist I thought.

Have you looked on the pikey Sotheby's, sorry, Ebay? Often see them on there.

Pics?

Rigida DP18's are a good mix between being strong and looking sweet. Post a wanted thread. Someone will help you out or point you in the right direction I'm sure.

Nice one! Is it online only?

Unlucky. Glad you weren't injured and I hope you get justice.

Impossiblé.

well he don't ride in 'em.

Ha. I ask as I'm off out to buy some new jeans today. If that brand are gonna stand up to every day (actually every day) wear for several years I'm definitely gonna try a pair on.
