Any Manchester Locals That Can Build Bikes ?

[gb155]

Right, I am having a 'Mare trying to get my Carbon machine built up.

I cant do it myself, lack of tools and the fact I'm an idiot.

first shop I contacted wanted £100, despite 2 weeks before asking for £40 (both times quoting without seeing it)

The shop its in now, the guy doesnt seem to have the skills to be able to get it together

I cant do the headset and BB but I am pretty sure I can do the rest.

anyone out there wanna help this damsel in distress ? (I NEEEEEED to take it out on Saturday LOL)

Whereabouts near Manchester are you?

 

[gb155]

I'm in Hyde, Tameside.

I'm not asking for a freebie, but I spent most of what I had on this and the groupo so cant afford an extra £100 right now for sure.

I could do it for you but not before Saturday! I've got two serious roadies in my street who can lend tools and give advice if I get stuck.

Have you tried 'phoning round a couple of other LBSs? What about local road clubs? I bet there are loads of old boys around who would love to help you.

How confused am I now

The shop said they were struggling etc, so I got someone to pick it up and pay them for the work they have done

but looking at the picture, all it needs is the fron Mech and cables fitting now

You might want to put the front wheel on as well.

Might as well cut out the middle man and scrap it now before he wrecks it
Got any Sky rides lined up yet Gaz? was telling my friend about you as he does a lot of them with his wife.

Saddle and a chain would help as well

Mate can see what I've got planned at weekend. Don't have any bb30 tools but can and have other tool. What bits don't you have, eg cables. Or do you have it all. I could poss collect then sort it and drop off.

 

[fossyant]

Pm me your phone no. The best option might be to pop over on sat then you can see how it goes together and it can be road tested as that bike is too big for me
