I look forward to this and yup will publicise it in the next LR no probs.

Reference things to buy, I'm hoping someone has my last season's racing form - I'd like it back :)

I'll be selling all those heavy and unncessary bits I'll be taking off my bike for the hill-climb - saddle, big ring, bottle cages, bar tape etc :lol:

(you can sell it back to me with a margin afterwards)

...and the bottle cage bolts, and the chain links you won't need if you're going single small ring.

The top hillclimb guys ride fixed so get rid of sprockets, rear brake & cable, STI/ergo levers, derailleurs, gear cables.

Thanks to those of you who came. Although not an overwhelming commercial success we passed a pleasant couple of hours drinking tea, chatting and eating cake until the sun failed and it became a bit chilly. Cheers all

Sorry I couldn't make it Alan as I always enjoy any excuse for a rummage around some bike bits but I only got back from Carcassonne late last night so was too busy with boring cleaning :( .

Yes, a big thank you to Alan for organising this.

Excellent tea and cake as well as a natter. Oh, and a nice fizik arione to boot.

I guess I had better pop around and collect my unsold tyres so that they continue to clog my garage rather than yours!

The forum for sale section it is then.

Thanks again.

Nick
