During Mountain Mayhem back in 2001, I was having difficulties with my rear dropouts, so on seeing that my bike was upside down (at the side of the race track), Gary Fisher shouted over, 'do you need any help'. I stupidly said 'no'.

I used to work with dave hindes' sister in law. She told me could get me a 'good' discount on one of his bikes. In the end, after much fannying about, I was offered fifteen quid off a two grand bike - laughed my fat yorkshire arse off!

Zangolin wins it so far for me if the conversation had nothing to do with bikes.
Was working in a Colnago dealers stateside 89/90.
Some guy on the phone calling from Italy - eventually I understood his broken English he wanted to speak to the boss + was called Mr Ernesto Colnago. So not an indepth conversation really!Posted 2 years ago # -
My old landlord is Ian Fagan's brother who was a pro-racer back in the 80's, most famous for having a punch-up after being knocked off in the Milk Race in London with the Houses of Parliament in the back ground with the chap who knocked him off!!

I met Eddie Merckx once in the central bit of the Velodrome. Had my piccie taken but it went awol with a dodgy hard drive.
I also lent Terry Dolan some money when he was in the early days of his frame building business, though I'm not sure if he ever paid it back.

Ribble Cycles was my Great Grandfather's shop. He was also involved with the Tour of Britain (or Milk Race as it was then) and plenty of other races in the area. My mum used to live above the Watery Lane shop in Preston. And look where the business is now. Unfortunately not in the family though!
