  1. I would love to mate, unfortunately I'm out of action with sciatica at the moment though :(

    Me and Helen are coming up to holmfirth on the 10th all being well though if your about for a meet and run out with El T and anyone else who's about and up for it ;)
     
  2. Shit mate, not good. Hope it clears itself up!
    Defo in my diary for 10th.

    Take it easy!

  4. Took the cycle cat rear sets to get them re anodised in black. Couldn't do with the shiny silver finish on them. In the meantime, I've fitted a set of the podium racing rears sets and have to say, more than happy with them. Went out for a spin at the weekend loaded with Allen keys and 10mm spanner to get the right position and the foot pegs are mega grippy!

    Already got the frame and various other bits...

  10. I just think your bike would look ace in yellow. Or just get another set so you could swap and change.

  19. Cheers pal! I’d like to say that it’s nearly finished but it never is, is it? :joy:
     
  20. I'm thinking it might be done. Unless you get in to the mill I'm not sure what's left.
