I went to this in 2010 (found thread looking for other ale thread), messy but great fun. German Smoked Beers ftw.

I like a beer.... I also like smoked kippers.... together in the same glass..... It's not right. Couldn't get the taste out of my head for weeks. Enough to turn a man back on to Fosters!

nesbit83..... pm'd.

Hello all.....

I'm being lazy to save myself the effort of going in to the cellar to take photos to sell these bits. If anyone is interested I can deliver them to Manchester or the 'burbs.

• Volume Cutter f+f (53cm I think) in black with seat post, Charge spoon saddle and BB fitted. I'm 5'8" and it fits me OK. Used for Polo but never abused (except when Woody used to have a go!)
  
• Velocity wheel set: Front 36h silver, machined. Back 36h black, not machined with Sys Ex fixed hub and 21T. Again used for polo so have a few dings but only cosmetic. Tyres fitted.
  
• BMX Headset and chopped DMR Wingbars for Cutter, used for polo so solid
  
• Shimano Sora front brake calliper cabled to Dirty Harry lever for above bars and frame.
  Basically a bike minus the chainset. I'm looking for £200 but open to offers if no interest and I may consider splitting if the frame goes.
  
  

Cheers, Wayne.

I've got a load of those white end caps we all bought a few years back if they're any use to anyone?
And one side of a for-sale wheel cover.

I was gonna come down for a watch after work tonight. Do you go straight to PH or beers first?

Yep, it was a killer. I had to pedal on the descents too. I would have definetly gave up up if I was on my own so the power of the group ride prevailed!

See you all next month - you too Morgan. No sleep is no excuse.... I wanna see your latest ride.

Can't do the Sunday but see you next time nes.

The cutter now sports a set of mudguards and some cut-down drops. It's a shadow of its former self, now used for getting to work and back as the winter wrecked by Bob good and proper.

Once I've got myself a commuter again I'll poloize it and it'll be up for sale! My polo days (and knees) are long gone sadly.

Sweet! It's been ages since I did any miles.... and hills. Time to get the wax out.

Nes, you still on for Saturday?

dibs..ish. what are the spokes?

Would you know the difference between Sapim CX-Ray and Mavic Kysrium ES spokes or bog standard plain when laced up on a set of Vs?? They're spokes that BLB use when you ask them to build a polo wheel.

Velocity Deep V's for sale
36H Silver machined front - silver spokes, SysX hub - Hutchison 23mm tyre fitted
36H Black non-machined back - black spokes, SysX double-fixed hub - Rando 28mm tyre fitted

A few marks from polo but solid.

£100 ono. Photos uploaded if any interest or I can deliver to town/smcr

^ I'm in no rush to sell, i just get annoyed every time I walk past in the hall knowing it's wasted. Anyways, cheers for the advice. I'll think about it once the hangover has settled!

Update - It's a good job I didn't sell this..... Got my Bob Jackson out for a once over before I go back to work and it's well and truly knackered. I put it away before Xmas full of snow and salt and everything's seized up. The Phil Wood bottom Bracket has even seized which I thought what impossible.

how much for the wheelset wayne?

I need to sell it complete really, otherwise I'll be stuck with a frame I'll never use and once things go in the cellar they're never seen again! Then again if there's no other interest (and it doesn't look like there will be) I'll probably reconsider by next weekend.

What's the going rate for a Deep V's?

53cm Black Volume Cutter for sale with...
Silver/Black Deep Vs
Messenger chain ring
FSA Cranks and BB
BMX Stem
Chopped DMR Wingbars
Charge spoon saddle

If anyone's interested i'm open to reasonable offers. I can post pictures... (it's not been used for months and is a bit dusty so needs a clean first.) It's got your everyday scratches and a ding or so.

Nice one nes, I'm in.

Ride today - Sunday 15 August, 2pm from Unicorn in Chorlton if anyone fancies it? Give me a call

Wayne.

Would be up for sat, I'm looking at a house to move into tho. Looks like I'll be permanent in Manc after the summer (for a while at least). :)

Too nice for house-hunting - shave those legs and meet at The Unicorn. Routemaster Ronnie will lead the way!

Yep - 12 it is. See you then.

Anyone else?? Get yourself a proper farmer's tan.

No beers for me Woody. I got pulled by the police last time I was out for cycling with no lights and 'weaving'!! One of the only times I've cycled without lights and I get pulled. Fair play to the copper - liked the look of by bike an sent me on my way.

Ronnie - I'd be up for a hill or two tomorrow. Any route or time that suits really - the weather's gonna be good all day.

Anyone riding tomorrow? (Saturday)

i put risers on mine so FU, look at all that sloppy machine welded steel scaffolding....

Makes me wish I hadn't sold my frame now - it looks better than my cutter in black

[QUOTE=rob.;1413845]That's exactly how it's set up. I'm thinking risers or horns will be the first mod. QUOTE]

you buy a FGSS bike specifically made to look old school, and put risers on it? why didnt you just get a fuji track if you wanted a ugly looking bike?

I had a fuji track and it was a good bike, I don't remember it looking ugly.

If the OP wants to put tassles on the end of his risers and maybe even wear a dress its all good. You can do what you want with your own bike - surely that's the point??

As long as you like it and ride it who's to tell anyone what's good or bad.

You comin Mirek?

Nes - Cool! just checked out your second route. It goes past by wife's house in Halifax. I know it like the back of my hand. If you go the other way from Ripponden to Halifax past a pub called the Fleece you get a killer hill to climb. Save that for a nice sunny day and have a pint at the top then turn right, over the moors to Buckstones and down the silky smooth road into Dopbcross and Delph.
