OP, not got time to read back through the thread, but did you say your son was looking for a frame/bike?
I’ve got an old hard tail frame (21″ seat tube but not that long a top tube) that I bought of here to build up for a mates son but he went off bikes. 🙄
It’s nothing fancy but if it fits it’s yours if you want it.

Thread of the year award.

It has been a proper emotional roller-coaster for me during this time, and before this thread. Dust clouds galore have been circling in the high points and low points, even at the simplest of things.

From what i have read it seems a lot of you have been experiencing feelings of some sort too. I hope this has been as heartwarming for all of you as it has been for me.

Thankyou all for helping me through all of this. From your kind words and gestures to the bit of comedy and banter, it has all been very helpful.

Granny_ring – will email you but possibly a bit too big. Thankyou.

Quick question, how do i post pics from flickr to appear in the thread? Could do it with photobucket before they went stoopid.

Pics on the thread will be much better than my previous links.

In your Photobucket link put ~original after jpg.

Right, sorry for my delay

The chair is a Pride Jazzy 1121

It’s been sat unused in garage for probably 10 years. It’ll need a battery and probably new tyres. I have no idea if it works at the moment, but if it’s suitable we can look at that

Pimp my wheels, sure we can think of some upgrades for the chair. 😀 Hope that it works out.

Pair of A520 pedals if they’re of any use; unused – fitted for a bike build and then removed. Think M520 but with larger platform.
Let me know – email in profile or post to this thread.

Having just had a scrat around……..Formula Mega brakeset in great condition – levers, callipers,rotors; FSA SL-K 27.2mm seatpost used but good condition; Thompson Elite X4 stem – 0 deg, 100mm, 31.8mm dia – in great condition.

As previous post – email in profile or post to this thread.

Hi Frank, just emailed you. Thanks.

Every time i think the thread is done and dusted i get messages of support and help.

It is still unbelievable.

I am still extremely grateful to all of you. Thankyou each and everyone of you.

What a total!

I said to Junky the other day, i didn’t expect it to reach the original of £200. After it did, i was gobsmacked, then it carried on climbing.

There have been times when it seemed to peak and each time i thought that was it, amazed everytime. Then it carried on again.

We are extremely grateful to you all, it is an amazing achievement.

I honestly wish i could personally thank all of you for your support, help and generosity. Money aside, you have done more than you could possibly imagine throughout all of this.

I will go through the thread again in the next day or so as i have probably missed messaging someone with all that has happened. If this is the case, my apologies to you. My email is in my profile if anyone wants or needs to get in touch.

Kudos, virtual hugs and high fives to each and every one of you.

I can honestly say i am proud to be a member of the STW family. It has been mentioned that an STW get together needs to happen. Maybe at some point this could be a possibility?

That sounds let me a great idea!

It has been mentioned that an STW get together needs to happen. Maybe at some point this could be a possibility?

Can you imagine the arguments?
the singlespeeders would wander off muttering into their beards, the stormtoopers would sneer at the singlespeeders. The XC jeyboys would be getting off and walking over every kerb, the rad dudes would be lighting spliffs every five minutes, the racers would be doing laps before we even set off. I’d probably have an argument with a rock, Half of them would be late and the other half would get lost!

In all seriousness there has been a few over the years always good fun- why don’t you set one up when you have a fully working bike again?

Get together would be a giggle.

Gnusmus – where are you…

Always fancied meeting some of you in the flesh, see if you look like I imagine. 🙂

Matt – Carmarthen, about a 20 min drive from Brechfa. I am completely out of shape at the moment, lack of riding for a few years. It would definitely need to be more of a fun blat than an epic jaunt.

Tjagain – i loved your tale of how the meet would go. One question, why would you argue with a rock?

Will be getting my Stiffee out over the weekend and getting to work on it within the next week.

AFAIK Gnusmas is in Carmarthen, so not too far from Brechfa and Cwmrhayadr. Llanwrtyd Wells (of Real Ale Wobble fame) is close enough too. Elan Valley maybe? There are a few bothies within a generous hour’s drive too. I’m more than happy to arrange/ co-ordinate things, let me know.

Loads of riding suitable for all. It is Wales after all.

One question, why would you argue with a rock?

It most likely has the wrong political views 😉 or likes lager or something completely wrong and IT WOULD HAVE TO BE TOLD

Gnusmas- your last sentence! I know this whole thing is quite exciting but 😯

😆

A meet up based on this thread would be nice

They are always a good crack.

He would argue with it over helmets*

* I believe i have both ridden with and without a helmet in his presence without issue.

Metamorphic rock proves that change is possible – you just have to keep the pressure on…

Oh yes! That deserves a round of applause! Nicely done….

🙂

Bump

Oi gnusmas! That chair any use?

Houns – thought i already had messaged you, sorry!

Sent you a message to the email in youe profile.

Thankyou

I will make sure everyone i haven’t emailed/messaged yet will have them tonight, all being well.

Edit Sorry Gnusmas put something in the wrong thread.

Anyway I hope all this replying to emails isn’t preventing riding time. 🙂

As most people are probably more familiar with this thread, i have started an updates and thankyou thread to save scrolling through all the pages.
