will come to collect

No, but I bet if you asked Ian at the bike place he’d have one you could have

I nipped to Halfords and asked politely when I needed one the other week and they kindly obliged.

Ive got one in the loft you can have. Postcode is SR4 though…..

the bike place being in prudhoe or kielder?

already asked at shop in hexham (but the guys a bell end) and the one in corbridge (guy is fairly nice) but no bike boxes at the moment

kielder and bellingham

I’ve got one, but can’t say I like your description of John in The Bike Shop, so you can’t have it.

Got one in Halfords Silverlink with no bother yesterday to send bike by courier

Ask in your LBS, they will usually have something they will give you. Last time I needed one they gave me loads of packaging including some nice plastic bits to stick in the forks etc.

warton – thanks i will try up there!

seavers – already tried but they aint got any just now

bandito – hes always been so unhelpful towards me, just generally taking the p*ss, as for his dad i wont even start

It’s the bicycle repair man in Prudhoe. ICan call in tomorrow or sat and ask as it’s just down the road from me.

Just checked in garage and I only have a wheel box.

teethgrinder, thankyou for you kind offer, my brother is actually the one sorting it out and he has found one in blaydon but bellingham is much closer to me so will try there first and also give the guy in prudhoe a call ont old telephone

bandito – fantastic detective work, please pass my message on with kind regards

grinder – cheers will do
