My mate is Rally Car mad, and wanted me to paint a stripe and fit decals a mk1 he's bought to make look similar to Roger Clark's 1973 Car

Stripe took a while!

I agree I think, but they aren't decals it is all paint and airbrush, the idea was too prove can can do (pretty much) anything, as people do tend to go safe and choose obvious colours etc,. I wanted to we can even paint on what ever you want. I do agree it's not classy though, It's my bike not sure how long it will stay like that LOL.
Thanks all the same :-)

It was a very good show for us, we met loads of nice people all with a common interest of nice, well built British(mostly) bikes made by small independent builders like ourselves. The positive comments we have received just makes me even more keen to build bikes.

There was some great stuff on show from other builders, a few that have only been going a couple of years some of the stuff there has inspired me no end! Great for us builders to have a natter too about a genuine love of a common interest.

My bike (below) was second in the Public vote for best bike, so I am over the moon, thanks to everyone that voted and everyone that came and made it a great event.

Sorry haven't had time to update what I'm upto.
Just repainted my dads bike for the Bristol Show and My mtb, I just wanted to experiment with mine still not 100% sure I like It but did really enjoy playing.

Sorry about quality taken on my phone.




All feedback good or bad appreciated

Imitation is the highest form of flattery!

Expect a silimar looking bike in the Stoke area!** I LIKE!**

What frame are you looking for?
When we sell a made to measure frame you come to the shop and we'll sit you on as many as you like and we'll spend as much time is needed to get yours perfect. Best part is all the measure up and that includes stem length etc as well as frame size and angles etc. is included in the frame price.
If we made the frame the wrong size we'd rebuild it.
Trouble is we are in Stoke on Trent and we aren't the cheapest but I think we offer great value and it is well worth the bit of effort.
Sorry if this sounds like a shameless plug.

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd guage a bit of feed back for a few of the frames I've finished this week for the Bristol Show.

Thought I do a couple of single speeders for you too. Feel free to copy to Bike Porn (winky smiley) or not.

Is no one else questioning the logic of drawing a map all the way to the cross when the treasure chest is just sitting there?

There may be 2 treasure chests, when he found the first one dodge the shark find the palm tree or banana then dig again.

Just to the left of the peeled banana and the X is what looks like a Turin Shroudesque image of the Grim Reaper...

Somehow when I woke up this morning I had no idea that I would type those words today, having done so I feel somewhat weirded out

LOL I never noticed that, it does aswell!! SHIT!!!!

There's a shark though! You may need help.

And I have a narrowboat ;)

DIY everytime.

The workshop may disagree ;)

I'm renovating Meek.tv's Harry Quinn frame and have just cut the chainstays out and found this.

How weird? Is it the cheeky scousers sense of humour or has it been put in on a more recent renovation or BB change.

Well Meek.tv will you cut us in on the bounty :)

Got the job done just in time look at the pitch now

Come on Wolfy!

Rourkie..are you the Power?

No but I have sold him a few bikes over the years and he did have a new one one for himself last year. Don't laugh but he actually started to get 'fitter' for a while but he must have forgot where he put it recently. He's also sits near me at Stoke City sometimes.

Yes, me now and again, but I'm from Stoke therefore I'm brilliant at it. (Winky Smily)

We get alot stuck in mainly due to manufacturers saying not to grease some of them, we grease them all.

Usually they stick like shit to a blanket which is odd, you would think that they would come out with brute force as they are totally diferent materials.

I get one odd one out undamaged with heat but usually they get a little bit of damage

I would suggest that the frame has not been damaged in transit, like above poster, looks like wheel has pulled out.

Those dropouts are very malleable, if you put a hollow bar on the bent bit and bend it back, it should be fine

Hello,

It is high up as previuosly stated above so it looks like the spiggot (as we call them) as has broke and not the stay itself, I must say that is very rare to break infact its very rare for a seat stay to crack full stop, never mind at the top.
Yes we could either fit a spiggot but as also stated above it's easier and possibly more reliable to put a whole stay on. Either way sadly it will require a respray. we could blow it in, but that would cost £50 ish and it wont be perfect, having the whole frame sprayed inc shotblasted back to bare metal is 'only' £95

As for the repair, to put in a spiggot (if I can find one the correct size and style) would be around £35 otherwise for 2 around £60

Hope this helps

Why the shit tyres?

Blimey are the wheels bent?

That pic gives me a head ache!

OK will do!

Sorry, Rourkie, that wasn't the intention. Among forum regulars, it was soon common knowledge that Roberto91 was a jonnyrau alias. No-one thinks you're a bad trader--it may make you uncomfortable that you were unwittingly drawn into the association. You can delete your posts if you don't want them associated with this.

No It's ok, just thought at first you did it as a joke at me! then I thought about it.

I think we all know that Rourkie is a bad un anyway. I've seen some of them paint jobs ; )

Thanks for that ;-) GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. The Customer is always right. execpt in that case ;-)

Is that bad?

Can I just point out that, after my thread was merged. I said I wasn't comfortable with this is, because I may be perceived as the 'bad' trader.

LOL I'm not comfortable with this.

^ lol

roberto91, dovvles will do it for half, yes, that's right HALF!!

But out you!
