I would, James SW, but I sincerely doubt you'll enjoy a cat who likes to swim in the neighbours pond in the early hours of the morning and then try to get in bed with you.

Marxist - yes, saddle still available.

Thanks for the bumpses. :)

Great, crop second dibs on frame noted.

Wheels added. :)

Thanks for letting me know, Peter. All yours then, bidnod, if you're still interested.

Flannimal (great name!) - weekend has run away with me - will get some photos ready for the morrow.

Scilly, I've got two sets of 27" wheels one a bit more fancy than the other. I'll try to get some details up tomorrow.

Adam, second dibs noted.

Bidnod, I haven't heard from PeterMaxwell. You can have second dibs and I'll chase him up to see if the tentative dibs becomes any firmer.

are those 'chrome' brake levers designed for drops?

No.

HarryB it will just be postage. £3 if I can make it a small parcel.

PeterMaxwell - no probs.

Cheers Jimbonic! I'll get back to you with the deets.

Here's TigerLily, or T-Lo as we often call her. She's wedged herself between a cushion and my bag.

This is a slightly confused looking photo of Smudgie (grey tabbie), Little Bee (black and ginger) and William all having a bit of a love-in. On my lap. And Pam, the slightly autistic cat, is sleeping peacefully in the background on the Missus.

Little Bee and T-Lo playing. This was taken quite a while ago as they don't have much to do with each other now. They were so close as kittens.

Little Bee and Will. She's absolutely besotted with him. Follows him everywhere. Constant biffing of face and invitations to play. She'll think nothing of climbing in his bed and sleeping practically on top of him. He pretends to be mildly vexed by the attention but is actually very fond of her too.

Hey all! Has been a while so thought I'd drop by. :)

Dammit - I always go with chicken stock (made fresh not shop bought cos its too salty) or tuna water. Always perks mine up. Helps stimulate appetite if there is none. Hope Tesla is feeling better soon.

Mine have been absolute superstars since I've been ill and housebound. I would have gone insane without them I think. William, our jack Russell is suffering a little because he doesn't get off the lead so much now the missus walks him and I can't. I'm currently searching out a dog walker that can take me (in a wheelchair) and will for a walk once a week. Would you believe that several have already refused the job because they are not insured to push me? It's gonna be trickier to find one than I first thought.

The cats are all getting on famously. Can't believe we have four cats and no disagreements! I sometimes forget we have 4 because it's so peaceful.

Right, enough chat, I'll dig out some pics. :)

Kalloy post will be £3 posted.

Thanks Charlotte!

No probs, Jimbonic. Would be grateful if you could follow up with a pm about payment. :)

Anyone else use stock android keyboard here and find it jumping about all over the place and deleting random words?

Oops! You's right. :)

Cheers! :)

Selling a frame, forks and other bits and pieces. Some free stuff too.

http://www.lfgss.com/thread116145.html

I can't cycle any more so I'm selling all the stuff that's been sitting in a corner (for at least a year) taunting me. (Boo hoo!)

Prefer collection from Manchester for bigger stuff. Postage is 2nd class (with proof of postage) unless stated otherwise. Happy to combine to save on postage - just ask. You're welcome to dibs here but (s)he who PMs and sends funds first wins.

27 x 1 1/4 Rigida Super Chronic Rims on Maillard Hubs (5 speed)
Bought these from Varno a couple of years ago I think. Quite charming and in reasonably good nick considering the age. Front wheel chrome is good, back wheel less so. Both spin freely and...um...truly.

£30 (+ £10 courier (less if poss))

(rear)

I can provide better pics if required.

27 x 1 1/4 on maillard hubs with new tyres and inners (5 speed)
Taken off a Raleigh Silhouette. Spin true but feel a little gritty so could probably do with a tiny bit of grease on the bearings. Bit of surface rust adds to the character. New tyres and inner tubes. With a bit of love could be good solid beater wheels.

£10 (+ £10 courier (or less if poss))

**

Raleigh Silhouette Mixte small frame**
Never been used. Has a few marks from storage and one of the stickers has started to peel a bit but otherwise in perfect condition. Top tube equivalent length approx 50cm and seat tube measures approx 56cm. Seatpost and bolt included.

£25 (+ £15 courier)

**
Raleigh 1" Forks**
I bought these thinking they would fit the frame but they are too short. Steerer tube = 15cm, threaded = 3cm. A few scratches to paintwork but in surprisingly good condition considering age.

£10 (+£3 postage)

**New VeloPlush Saddle **(definitely built for comfort)
A couple of light marks on black plastic from storage otherwise factory fresh.

£15 (+ £3 postage)

Chrome 1" forks
In good condition, only one obvious small scratch. Steerer tube = 17cm, threaded = 9cm.

Dibs on stronglight crankset and tektro brake levers. Pm coming.

They've got build instructions for 36 different vehicles now. I'm going for a variation on street fox.

I've just purchased some of their instruction thingies for making a recumbent trike. Looking forward to having a crack.

Thanks. :)

Long time no post. :)

My kittens are now not very kitteny.

This is one of those 'once in a lifetime' photos:

(From the left: TigerLily, Pamela Pootle (the autistic one that doesn't make eye contact), LittleBee and Smudge Arthur Philip Louis).

Best friends (no, really):

William James basking in the sunshine:

They have been, without doubt, an absolute lifeline these past months. :)
