Huge bike jumble, Manchester velodrome, Sunday.

Would be nice but too tempting to buy stuff, PLUS i'm on Fossy's bus,skint and preparing myself for a big bill for my oh so "reliable" VW !!

Sounds great, but I too a broke, i'll just have to ride instead, oh well

To be honest there wasn't that much to buy; it was mostly old boys with tables covered in 1970s bits and pieces and some old frames and loads of out of date jerseys in garish colours.

However I stumbled across one stall selling new bits and spotted a shock pump going for a tenner, asked to buy it then realised the sellers were Craig and Penny from the very excellent Ride On in Rawtenstall! Craig still has stocks of some Global titanium frames including a road frame in large size for £450, if anybody fancies a Ti road frame.....

That's a relief. Had it been full of early 90's bits I would have been gutted not going.

I always fancied having a Ti frame, but I don't have money to spare nor room for a 4th bike!

In an ideal world, I'd buy a Ti touring bike which could double up for audax and bad weather duties. I'd be happy to replace my current Basso with something like that. One day perhaps...
