YOU'RE NICKED!

Hi Clubber! We're seriously thinking of letting just me do the PDI on the bike if he buys it.

Hi Pete! That's what I got the chap to let us do ( eventually ). He changed his outright over-the-phone " NO " to my mate fitting his SPDs to an okay when I showed him we'd gently hand-tighten them on.

Sorry " trail_rat, " I didn't expand on the situation as I was in " ranting c0ck wad " mode. I should've clarified. By demo I just meant riding the 50-100 feet to make sure the bike's a good enough fit. You could even have demo wheels. The carpark was damp, honest-not even wet. The sales guy looked like he wanted to go home and really-body language, monotone, keen-ness NOT to help-gave this deep-seated, ingrained feeling of " phukk off, I want to go home and I hate bikes. "
Sorry about giving a " I'm loaded, do you know who I am " w@nker impression mate.

Cheers all, you were lush!!!

Here's what happened….

In the end we didn't need the rain cover.

Pics coming…

IT'S TODAY!!

bump….IT'S TOMORROW!!

I found the other table!

I don't mind coughing up for another table myself. I'm absolutely loathed to charge anything for the Jumble. It's a priceless giggle….buy your own drinks in the coffee morning beforehand though! Now THAT was costing me a fortune!

Yes, it was a great crack!

Many thanks to Jerry Aarron for letting the venue be hosted outside Mud Dock.

This is the " Look at what you could've won. " gallery.

It was a brilliant day, loads showed up.

We even had overspill of sellers into the Pay+Display carpark!

IT'S TODAY!!!!

This is my friend Naomi and my internet trousers.

@Tootall,
come on, you know the forum rules about using irony before midday.

It's going to be a good one.

: )

First, I must RSS this topic ( rolls eyes after spending a quarter of an hour looking for it with the wrong search words ). Second, I have a cunning wet weather plan and third I have a few more bits for sale myself this time.

That bike's a bit weird. Why the hell is he selling it? I mean, one accepts the convention that " ancient and modern " means lush old frame and new drivetrain but the colours….and those bars.
ap was right about the Mariah Carey syndrome though I'd go further. I think we're into the gothic strangeness of a full on Kate Bush here.
Proper daft.

Sleep deprivation is way overrated I don't feel any difficulties carrying on forZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Hi Too Tall!
Cheers for coming and the bargains! Are you good with Paypal for the fab cranks?

ps. remember for the jeans; 42" waist, 36" inside leg.

You must come! It's going to be…

BIGGER THAN MY TROUSERS!

Thicker chains and cogs, all the hassle of cable brakes ( as opposed to all the hassle and WEIGHT of discs ) and thumbies that are the best for night riding in winter ( you can feel what gear you're in ).
It's fun being a luddite.

IT'S TODAY!!

Bump

I get the tables out at about 11.30 then people who need to set up stalls come see me…

I'M NOT EASY TO MISS

…and it sort of kicks off around midday-ish.

Hello, yes. Sorry, I was on a nightshift. There is a jumble tomorrow. Details here.

It just means there's more to buy and sell. Should be a good one this month's.

It was brilliant!!

( please click on pics to make them bigger )

Loads of sellers turned up.

Bully's " Look at What You Could've Won " shot.

Loads of buyers turned up too!!

BUMP! It's today!!

Clubber,
you ever thinking of selling your Kilauea?

I think it's still for sale. All you need remember is MIDDAY on the first Saturday of the month and watch the threads for notifications.

Ay! It was fantastic. Here you go…

Andy and Keir soak up the atmosphere at the coffee morning.

Looks like the August caption competition.

Always good to see Matt pitch up…he's got great gear!

You must admit that with p1ssing rain and no parking THAT WAS A GOOD TURN OUT!

One for the retro cognisenti, this was going for £40!!

I've checked with the Council and thanks to THE **** HARBOUR FESTIVAL the Pay+Display is closed so you'll have trouble parking. The Jumble is still on though!

There's a coincidence, we get lots of sellers from the " Fixed Bristol " club.

Just checked with Jerry and the Jumble's STILL ON!!!

@racefaceec90,
the police blitzed that area last year, arrestwed the chavs who did it and, with the help of the council ( and me pointing out the best places to hide ), cut out COMPLETELY all the mugging-friendly undergrowth. Go have a look ( it's the section down by Lawrence Hill ), it's lovely!
Also, the spate of attacks was happening around a long, hot bank holiday weekend ( ripe for bored chavs; say the local coppers ). The attacks themselves were happening at a narrowing bottleneck where cyclists often go warp factor 5 past VERY thick undergrowth with hollows to hide in ( now all gone ). The chavs ( now all on probation, all on the local nick's " sh1t list " and all VERY well behaved ) were getting big sticks and hitting the bikers off.
All fixed now.

Oh phukk! I'll text Jerry in Verbier. Watch this space.
