we recycle around 40 a week at the mo….give your lbs a visit

and breathe!

yep were in and open….so far its been a tumbleweed morning.just trying to get motivated to finish of a lengthy tender doc..

ive used clinique gel for over 10 years now…its the best ive found…i think i tried them all pretty much!

10 quid a pot that lasts about 8 weeks…although i stock up at the airports as its around 8quid

drop me a mail again pete and ill see if i can offer any help in the way of kit etc….

mite be able to get some scottish pr also….

hi

weve not got one but you'd need the circlip as well….i can get one for you by wednesday…

we run a couple,fives,p7,224 and an alpine….although i can get anything from orange with in a few weeks…it does sell bikes and we never have a problem selling them on

mondraker have demos as do felt.intense,giant (but theyre always busy at demo days) sabbath road do demos,ive got cervelos,genesis and coves as well

depends on your lbs and his relationship with his suppliers i reckon…

no coach yet but i think shes waiting on more info…..im only the bottle holder/hug giver

we may be going out riding….speak to joe at the shop…

dont know the details seem fairly scant at the mo…gem met up with hannah and shes dropped her an email to see…(shes more of a mtb'er though)

but the email she got was relatively clear that shes in the squad and more details will follow

not sure on the discipline….prob road as shes not happy in the mud….shes not a sprinter(slim/tall)

scotland i think….ill keep you all posted though(first picture ever!)

ive done 60 miles over the last couple of days…im pretty chuffed with that as ive been off the bike for a few weeks and fitness has dropped a lot…just need to keep it up as im doing the trossachs ton in june…

"if you buy an Orange and something goes wrong, you're pretty much on your own"

eh? ive always found the backup from them is exemplary…examples?

we sell 200 a year and i have had no issues at all…warranty or otherwise… trailbike of the year for is it 3 years now?

best bet is ride one…

fyi theyre sold out now till june/july when its goes dearer(£1500ish) but with new shimano 011 kit…

come back next year and my late planted bulbs will do that border proud! but yes the strimmer/mower needs to be dragged out

glad to help! thanks for the cakes!

many thanks mark….enjoy! its looks really good….

i would say(as a lbs!) that it is a little unreasonable…it sounds like a large corporate shop? if it is speak to the manager or not the owner…and explain calmly why your unhappy,they should sort it asap…i would.

small firms loan guarantee…..i bought a bike shop and borrowed the max £30k…banks love it cos its no risk to them.wear a suit and have a business plan

also vendor financing where the person selling you the business lends you some of the value and then you pay them back(very tax efficient for them!)

i bought a business for £70k and only borrowed 10k personally..and dont give up! 3 banks messed me about and the 4th said yes…hsbc

ill do you a pair for £265 silver or red hub…

@cycleworlduk

inane mostly but i love a new follower and we do competitions sometimes

do you work in a shop that sells a lot of cheap bikes? that would always increase the warranty levels….im lucky if we see one a month on bikes.ive never found them stressful as we deal with decent companies who are quick with resolving issues…..

you may need a different shop! :lol:(weve got a job going)http://www.thecyclingexperts.co.uk/cycle-industry-jobs/?job=212

i reckon most of these shops that do the top ups are doing it because its not such a good deal for them as its costs them 10% every deal……

ive just spoken to cyclescheme and angus council (in scotchland) are now signed up with this great bike selling scheme! get em whilst theyre hot!

possibly!

what colour hubs are you after? i have a choice! 😆 to be fair to them they are out of stock until mid mayish(but your right they should have told you!)

good luck from me! you must be loaded to open a shop or a bit daft 😆

ive never been happier at work although the hours can be long/customers sniffy/weather makes you quiet….

nowt beats selling a top end bike with all the juicy trimmings though! if you ever need owt give me a shout and ill see if i can help…

chris
im about to open my 2nd so must have lost it….

its hard for me to get funding because im in scotchland for the guys to be trained but i would also recommend atg as theyre the biggest providers…

im looking for a mech and id want a trained one to come with cytech which is the recogised qualification in the industry…that said theres great mechs out theyre that dont have it and really bad ones that do(halfrauds)

parts one and 2 are all youd need.it costs about £500 but you can sometimes get funding for it…

hiya! 😆

what size do you think you need? ride a demo bike…

the mabie hotel has pods outside….ive not stayed but they look pretty cool,just down the hill form the marthrown

i think me and my sister are gonna meet him somewhere neutral…im less emotional about it all(ill be in charge of questions!)

ill let you know how it goes…. 😀

i went "out" with a gal who had a small man pushing a lawnmower once in a "discrete area" raised a smile!

i gave a mate some moral support once for his first tat…he almost passed out then had to go home from work…it was in the classic tramp stamp area though and its sposed to be very tender theyre..

im not a fan of em at all,seen quite a few cute ones on gals though…one of mates had one done when he was a larger chap…hes since shrunk and so has his tat…very crap!

sorry prob not much help!

nuts init? the shops on the coast(i can see the sea!) and ive seen everykinda weather in the one day fairly often…torrential downpour in the morning,sno at lunch and all clear for a ride home by teatime!

at least you never get bored!

thats a real shame hadge,i hope things work out for the best…

im naturally a generous open person (with an underlying yorkshire cynicism!) and ill try not to judge him….

thanks all…the wisdom from here is all encompassing!

what i cant get my head round is how a bloke with a good job(he commanded oil tankers at one time) a young wife and family can be not at all interested in them and theyre development.

its just immeasureable slackness….i guess im wired differently, im close to my family/freinds and would do anything for anyone of them..

last time we met when i was 23 i did thank him for giving me a reverse blueprint of how a father should act! i just feel pity for him really…hes missed so much…

nope i kinda thought that… ill meet him in a restaurant and he's bleeding paying! see what hes got to say

many thanks all….a load off an all that!

39 and 5days..

hes 78 and the first thought was he was sick or worse…i reckon my sister wont want anything to do with him as he made it very plain that he didnt want anything to do with her when we were very small…..this is the first time hes expressed interest in her..
