Ah you make bags! I'm good friends with Dave from Brisbane Outdoor Gear www.bogear.com.au he lets me go over and play on the sewing machines. We've been having a stab at reupholstering mid century chairs and the results have been pretty good.

He is currently making custom bags for me and the other half for our travels. I know he is keen to share knowledge etc and was in correspondence with Big Top recently. He is a top bloke, "bogear" on instagram.

its invertedcriss, i'll find you now.

Me and SJC ride regularly, you're welcome to ride with us. There's a couple of others who come out, too. No racing or 'owt just a ride out to the coast or whatever and having a laugh.

Sounds good to me, are you in Norwich? I follow SJC on the gram, isn't he in Wymondham?

Good stuff, I'll post my number when I actually have a UK number again!

Also, I am really looking forward to evening rides. It gets dark here between 5 and 6pm all year round.

Thross - definitely not looking to usurp the Dandy ride. Sounds right up my alley and will definitely be along to meet some people and support it. So if there is one this Sunday then the next one will be towards the end of August right? I'll be camper vanning in Europe by then. I think realistically October will be the first one I'll be able to make, my container is due to appear mid-October but I do have a bike stashed at my parents place.

I guess what I'm hoping for is a phone full of numbers I can spam to find someone to ride with, a bit like what I have here. The cruisy ride I mentioned previously I might organise with some old friends etc. and then throw it open.

Just followed on i'gram also - did you sell the Cinelli or is it coming to the UK?

^ that's the kind of ride I'm into!

Followed back. Cinelli sold I'm afraid, will probably regret that one. I'm bringing about 6 bikes and a couple of frames back so might have to have a cull of other stuff not long after I arrive. I presume you're tall also?

I'd love to organise a chilled ride in the countryside, pub lunch etc. Mainly to get my better half back on a bike (meeting some people would be an added bonus). We lived in York before moving to Aus and she rode all the time. Here they properly hate cyclists and because of the climate the sweat is pouring after a couple of minutes. Suffice to say she has barely touched a bike whilst here.

Ha, having said all this I'll probably end up being the flakiest of the lot!

Anyone on instagram? I'm invertedcriss if anyone fancies seeing how I've been avoiding packing stuff.

This isn't supposed to be rude but is there actually much going on in terms of 'alternative' cycling in Norwich? If this section is one of the best places, well it's not exactly busy is it?

I think I've been spoilt here in Brisbane. Been packing boxes all day and the house looks no different. Half tempted to just burn the lot instead!

I look forward to meeting some of you shortly.

One question about Dandy Horse, do they have a good place to lock up? Admittedly I haven't been down Magdalen Street for a couple of years, but its not somewhere I'd like to leave a decent bike for more than a few minutes!

Thanks for the replies. I learnt of Dandy Horses existence 2 days ago, looks like a great addition to the city. What day/time is their ride? Might be able to squeeze a ride in before I disappear to Europe.

By wares I assume you mean the stuff I'll be getting rid of? But I'll take it as an excuse to post a couple of the bikes I'll be bringing back.

After 4.5 years in Australia and a few places in the UK in between, I am moving back to Norfolk. Really looking forward to it, just got a camper van tour of Europe to get out of the way first (its a tough life in between jobs).

Fixed, road, whatever, just like riding my bike(s). Is there much going on? Are there any other forums/groups I should be checking out? I'll probably have some gear to shift once my container arrives as I don't have time to sell some things before I move.

Looking forward to getting stuck in / involved.

Is that a crack in the flange of the front Sheriff hub? Certainly looks like it.

Either is fine, thanks.

I'm after good quality downtube levers for a project. Doesn't matter if bits are missing as long as the lever is there. Single levers also fine. PM me if you have anything.

I may be interested.

Does it have any braze on's?

Could pick up tonight.

Braze on for FD, shifter bosses, cable stops. No mudguard eyelets if that's what you mean? I am likely to be out til later this evening. Pm me your number. Frame, fork and wheels only in case that wasn't clear.

Guessing you are after it for your mate in which case your need is greater than mine so it's all yours. I only wanted it for parts for VIcks bike

Parts? It's just frame fork and wheels.

I'll be at Smash Skates in Beccles tomorrow if that helps anyone? Unlikely I know.

OK, well first to collect wins out! I was looking at it this afternoon, some nice thinned out lugwork on it.

I'm here for a couple of weeks but my parents aren't going anywhere. However, I have a lot of crap stored at theirs and promised I would shift it ASAP

I have this Emperor Sport road frame that I am looking to sell quickly whilst I am in the country. Frame and forks only, I'll throw in the wheels too if you want them. Shimano Exage hubs to Mavic rims.

Frame is Reynolds 531 with Campagnolo drop outs. I think its a 57cm ST but will double check for those interested. Someone has made a messy job of adding water bottle mounts at some point but with cages installed its not noticeable. It also has a pretty bad spray can paint job that it coming off, I started to cover it in electrical tape but stopped halfway through when I decided it was too small.

Is £40 fair? Pick up is from Hingham. Would make a great beater.

Started piecing this together today.

Take one Emperor Sport road bike which is a little too small.

Add one set of C-Record wheels.

And start transferring everything to a Raleigh TI Frame. Should have it finished tomorrow, just needs cabling, taping and saddle height adjusting.

Thanks mate, turns out next door neighbour to my parents is a bike nut. He had everything I needed.

Yeah bike shop is tomorrows first port of call if I can't find one to borrow tonight.

Aargh, does anyone have a socket that will remove the crank bolts on the older fluted style Campagnolo cranks? I was hoping to get my new frame up and running today but looks like I won't be able to move the cranks and BB across :(
