Hello all,
I’ve opened a sandwich shop and wanted it to be bike themed so far it’s going very roadie which is cool but I wanted some Mtb things too..does anyone have anything interesting laying around they want shot of? Any retro things? It’s going on a wall or the ceiling so can’t be a dh bike😂
Where? (locals dropping stuff off is probably easiest)
Oh sorry I’m in scotland south Queensferry near the bridges
Have a chat with local bike shops and see if they have stuff they were going to throw away. Old chainrings, brake disks, perhaps wheels or tyres, you even get lucky with a broken frame.
they may also have some old trade merchandising, posters, etc. lying around. Worth asking I'd suggest.
Good luck I have met my mate and ridden to cramond from the centre, next venture will be towards you. We have bromptons so look out for us.
I would go retro and put a Raleigh chopper on the wall, get people talking. The reviews of the cafe in cramond are interesting as they banned mobiles, and enforce the ban.
Good luck in the venture, I make biscuits with broken digestive, melted chocolate, nuts and seeds. Cool and slice, costs nothing.
Ha yes I’ve got a chopper coming...a nice flying Scot and I’ve got quite a few tops etc..ha I won’t ban mobiles or anything! I’m purely takeaway anyhow but get a lot of passing cyclists every day as I’m on the main route to the forth bridge..aye pop in for a blether anytime

I cycle through to South Queensferry quite often, but none of the current cafes ‘float my boat’. It will be good to have somewhere new to try. Pootler, not roadie though - I think there’s a fair few cyclists who pootle out from Edinburgh through the Dalmeny Estate.
Yes it’s a busy well trod route...I’m not a cafe as I’ve not got the room but there’s benches close with a view of the bridges..
How about my old proflex OZ carbon frame and swing arm
Be somethinh completely different annd it still looks cool,
Oh that would be most awesome! Are you localish? It’s called ferry tasty and it’s opposite the cop shop
