Took a while when my ’09 cracked. Had to chase it up a few times with bike shop.

Well anybody can Google anything, but I’d never heard of him before this!

They are playing at the Legion in Swanage 😯

@rse! In my haste I missed XT clutch at £55

Anyone know if the XT is worth the extra?

Here you go

Do you want me to buy it for you too 😉

A quick search says he was on here 4 days ago. HTH 🙂

I’ve been looking at the horsethief. Initially put of by bb, but still may consider it, then find out I have to change my chain set as you can’t run bigger than a 38t double. It alls starts getting pricey when coming from a 26″ set up. It does look good though!

Could wait a bit and see if they reduce the current non split-pivot, threaded bb shell, triple c/set frame, like they did with the ’12 model. Got one for a bargain £800 from CharlieTBM, and although I’ve only been able to ride it a handful of times, it is brilliant 🙂

How hard is it to build wheels? It is one of the few areas of bike maintenance I never thought of doing myself.

Not difficult, but you need quite a bit of patience!

+ hubs 😀

Best was the mk2 Heckler, loved that bike. Then it cracked 🙁
Haven’t ridden the Horsethief in anger yet, so it could change 🙂

Ha!

Square and Compass and Worth Tea Rooms at Worth Matravers,. Swanage Railway and beach. Walks to Old Harry Rocks or Durlston Castle amongst others.. Charliethebikemonger 😀

What bikes bits do you hoard?

Everything,until recently. Literally shed loads! At one point l had eleven frames, and parts from 25ish years. Used to look at it and wonder what the hell to do with it all. Then l discovered Retrobike and have sold loads of it.There’s money in them old parts! 😀

Long shot I know, but anyone been in the Poole branch and can tell me if it’s worth going at 1ish, or will it all be gone?

I’ve got one. It’s well made and sturdy. Looks similar/the same to others like the Merlin one which is similarly priced at the mo.

Mine nearly done too. Been a bit slack on the biking front lately 😳
Will post pics when done 🙂

I’ve got some. Have sent mail.

Charlie’s got an XL frame in orange for £649.99

Minor league. Why do you ask?

Wow! I frequent the same forum as Mr Woppit from criminally under rated The Sound.

I recently bought a stem off Matt and it arrived within 2 days,so if you still want the items bobbyspangles, then you have no worries of them not turning up. HTH 🙂

I used yourcoverinsurance.com that was recommended on one of the previous threads. Can tailor it to your needs. Worked out cheaper than my M and S renewal for more cover 🙂

Bit expensive though!

Used City Link Next Day through Parcel Monkey quite a few times to send frames and forks. No problems.
Pick up from home/work, which is handy 😀

Yeah, Bikelab’s gone. There’s also Ride in Parkstone.

Ison Distribution only showing med Horsethiefs left.

Mine and some others on here came with Kashima CTD shock

Blimey, bought a Horsethief frame from Charlie TBM for a bargainous £800, they’re doing them for £600!

With a manual you don’t pedal

Well you obviously do to get started, but then you’re coasting on the back wheel

ITV 4 until 2015

Got my M&S renewal and premium’s gone up a few quid a month. Have just done a quote and naming ‘pedal cycles’ has gone down to ‘over £1000’. I added one bike over the limit and the quote was more than the renewal :(, so I’ll be staying as l am, as it’s £2000 limit.

I wouldn’t go near frank’s for a while. Been wet a boggy as hell all winter. Not much fun I can tell you, either up or down.

Simon’s spot on. It’s always shite in winter.

Ian

Thanks. Which way does it run east-west?

Well it runs both ways, but east to west is more fun 🙂

Just missed out on one at Winstanleys. Thought I’d get one from the USE link, but it’s £5.50 delivery 😯

Santana – Oye Como Va

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers with Clapton – Key To Love

Van Halen – Eruption

The Light Pours Out Of Me – Magazine

Cooie, yes you they cabn be swapped but it’s not cheap

Cheers, think I’ll give it a miss then 🙂

Loco, can Revelation RCT3 29″ Dual Airs be converted to Dual Position?
