All the best Charlie. Was great chatting with you outside the Old Dungeon Ghyll  pub in Great Langdale just after lock down. 

All the best to you Charlie! Have fun

Enjoy spending more time with your bikes and hope they take you to lots of lovely places. All the best Charlie!

Enjoy yourself Charlie.

Our only interaction was while you were still down in Swanage and I was after some Gevenalle shifters which you graciously sorted for me by mixing and matching stock to put together only what I needed. A few years later I actually bought the now-missing-parts rest of the kit from bikemonger cheap as you’d made what was left useless to just about anyone else!

Good luck Charlie. I’ve dragged my Yorkshire-based riding mate down for a couple of Dorset Dirt Dashes.

I sense he’ll be planning revenge and drag me north. Yorkshire coast sounds fabulous. Can’t be worse than the twin terrors of Hambledon and Hod Hill. Can it?

Not my cup of tea but i wish you all the best for the future mate .

Have fun Charlie. I remember when you sent us a Pug to do beach sampling… fat bike riding while in work thanks to the Bikemonger… and the start of an out of work Surly/Salsa habit.  Cheers. Hamish

Wow. An exciting decision. What a treat to give yourself.

Enjoy the bumming around.

Good on you Charlie….enjoy dude! 🙂 

Sounds like a brilliant plan. Have enjoyed your contributions over the past few years – even have a Not Grumpy/Jumpy as my work mug to dispell the notion that I’m a grumpy sod (I’m not!!) Also the brotha dn cheese scone thing was pretty memorable 😀
Go surf those trails 👍

Good luck

 

Life beats work hands down in the balance of things.

 

I wish I could jack it all in. Enjoy!!!

Both sad & good at the same time… Enjoy!

Good luck!

I still have the Cross Check you sold me and some of your stickers on my bikes. I would happily buy more along the lines of “I brake for cake” and “Education is important, but getting rad is importanter”.

‘You can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning’ sticker on my toolbox supplied with a beautifully engineered eccentric bottom bracket from charlie the bikemongers.

Enjoy the retirement, it’s bloody ace.

Good luck, please continue making Singletrack Salvation too! The smell is just so much better!
