taka – that’s how I received it
sanaapace – IT’S NOT PINK, it’s avery manly claret, and it’s not a dyson. Otherwise I totally agree.
colande – I wouldn’t recommend it. Yes to Nitromors mmmmmmmmm
BWill – the top pic is exactly how I got it (i.e. half scraped)

I reckon I could strip a frame in a weekend without any worries….shame I don’t have a weekend 🙁

hose guides!!!!!!! those are the fellows, had a total brain freeze trying to remember the name

thank you

the powdercoat part was done by a specialist I’ve made friends with, the paint removal was done by me. hope that clears it up

I pondered doing a diy job (there’s even a previous thread about it) but the time and effort envolved to even get a half decent finish were too much. A can of Hammerite (the straight to rust one) was about £7 or £8 and I reckon you’d need two to build up a nice thick coat.

make me a cash offer and I’ll think about it

dudes you’re missing the point, CHROME FLAMES !!!!

Actually the carpet came with the house and was already in place in my centrally heated man-cave.

If you were disgusted by the carpet and the seat collar then take a look at my CHROME FLAMES!!

They’ll prevent cable rub so they’re practical and stylish.

Yeah baby!

my weapon of choice is an old socket set and 5pound lump hammer

The seat collar was scratched to buggery so I cleaned it up and decided to spray it at home. Unfortunately the only thing I had that would do the job was some Plasticoat in that colour. If I ever buy some more paint I’ll go over it.

Blasting it would have been far easier, but it’s not always as option where the metal is thin and may become damage through the force required to remove paint, especially powdercoat. Also, it wouldn’t give me a chance to inspect an old frame up close for cracks like I did with this one.

Conti Verts always work well in the Peak. Conti Slash for when it’s really gluppy but they drag like a bitch on the road.

yep, price includes paint and postage

I/We do a regular 2hour pootle around Stockport going out to Marple and back. 90% offroad with a bit of everything. Can do any night with a bit of warning.
mail in prof if interested.

my boss (voiceover) spouting some boolarks into an expensive microphone

I’ve just answered my own question, M10P001 is the product number I was looking for. After a quick googling it turns out Zyro is the cheapest place after all. Looks like there’s no way round £100 for a new blub when mine pops it.
z1ppy – can you use the Edison battery with the LED stuff?

there’s only one judge upto the job!

spin spin spin the wheeeel of justice, see how fast the barsteward turnssss!

Just started in Stockport. Reet big proper flakes and all. Doubt if it will settle but it looks nice.

is Hammerite the best make? I see they do a ‘straight to metal’ spray.

if ever there was a facebook profile pic…..

pining for the Fjords?

I dropped 2 stone by cutting out the crap at work and only eating when I was hungry (not to be confused with ‘peckish’). My downfall is McVities plain choccy digestives, dam them all and their loveliness!!!!
Starving yourself and too much gym will put you in starve mode which might increase your body weight. Don’t cut out anything you don’t like, just cut down. Don’t eat until you’re full to burst and don’t eat after 8pm. Make dinner your biggest meal so as you’ve burnt most of it off by bedtime.
It’s taken time to get that big, expect it to take time to lose it.
Aim for no more than a couple of pounds a week and don’t worry if you don’t, it’s just your body catching up.

My other huggggggggge tip is, avoid sweetners and diet drinks like the plague, have sugar instead. Sweetners like aspartame are 100x sweeter than sugar. Your lardy arse will get confused inside and absorb fat to compensate for the increased blood acidicity it thinks it’s about to get.

I sooooooooo mis-read that subject title, (typical male brain at work).

dibbs on some carrot cake, mmmmmm

a light dear boy?

I think an Upmanns is a splendid idea. [reaches for cigar lopper-offer in waistcoat pocket]

just goes to show, if you through enough sh!t at the wall etc etc

I’m not bitter, ggggrrrrrrr

pulls up a better chair

I use a drop of Finishline just to help protect the steel from any moisture but apart from that, nothing.

I mean suspense! [twitches nervously]

the suspenders are killing me!

not bad considering there’s five of us all downloading HD porn for 8hours a day

slowly slowly catchie Mattie 🙂

ppff! whatever…..ggrrrr

Clearly the camera was lost during the throughs of passion which encapsulated them just momments after that pic was taken.

oooh been here before. I stopped to let a dog and owner walk by on a canal path. Dog starts going f###ng mental as I start to pull away. Owner couldn’t give a flip and just walked off with dog still showing me his teeth. Eventually I out ran the pouch but it was well p!ssed at me for some reason. Next week I saw the same dog’n’owner coming towards me on the same canal path. Through gritted teeth I mouthed “c’mon then!” and sped up like a mentalist. At full steam and closing down on them both FAST i noticed the owner frantically grab their mutt, who was now barking, and get out the way. As I past I uttered forth “aaah shut up!”.

I showed that chiwawa.
