How do i convince the other half that it's on the way back from Bristol ?

Go up m5 and m6 across the m62, pick up in Huddersfield the back down the m1. Then curse the sat nav for sending you a daft route.

I still have half an eye on the Merlin as I'll be in Huddersfield for the 1st May bank holiday. Don't know how I'd get in on the train back to London as I'll also be bringing my Ellis Briggs f&f back from it's respray.

Get me to collect and arrange hand-over at some point ;-)

Let me think about it , are you sure though ?

I can collect, but Tuesday pm would be best as I'm around then. Other days depending upon what I'm doing and I'm not in the UK this weekend - at the
Ras na nÓg in Ireland. Alternatively I'm about 8 miles from Huddersfield so not much for him to drop off with me and someone's home most days.

As I've just bought a BSA I thought I would see what's on Gumtree, quite a few interesting ones:
1930s barn find, not for the faint hearted:

Very nice rebuilt 1960s Fixie:

Lovely '66 rod braked Regency in Kent for £65.
Saddle is worth the price alone:

If that was near me, I'd find it hard to resist. I'd love an old "roadster" style bike, like my granddad used to have.

The 1960s fixie is one of mine If I don't find a local buyer on gumtree in the next few weeks, I was planning on offering it here on CC before going to ebay.

 

[Cycleops]

I'm very surprised it hasn't gone @ChrisEyles . maybe part of the problem is your location?
I'm sure if you were in London it would have flown out the door.

Haha, yes, my location is not ideal - a distinctly lower population of hipsters than London, and you can't really avoid a lot of steep ups and downs riding around here... which is my main reason for selling. Fixed was a really fun experiment and it's a nice bike, but I enjoy riding my 1960s ten speed much more, especially since I stuck a 28t sprocket on the back end!

Christ, my in-laws live in West Wickham and it's about 10 mins from me. Do I need this? I know nothing about these sorts of bikes.

There's one obvious way to find out about them
