Vintage Reynolds 531 frame

[gb155]

Yeah but in case Stephec isn't coming past here or doesn't fancy an 80 mile round trip from Telford I'm still getting a box!

My geography is piss poor

 

[stephec]

I'm pretty certain I can do it, should know for definate by Tuesday night Wednesday morning at the latest, but it's looking good for now.

Chirk's no problem, I can go home/to Telford up the A5.

I'll pm all concerned nearer the time to arrange it.

Ahhh if you're going A5/A483 you'd be passing within a mile of my house so that would be great. I managed to get a box but it's huge - probably best not to put the frame in it!

My customer has changed his mind, he doesn't want me there until Friday.

I've got to call in Ellesmere first thing though, so I should be at the McDonalds roundabout near Chirk around 08:00 on Friday, is that a good time to collect?

Don't forget me Gaz if you decide you've bitten off too much when the frame arrives

Ps smokey - what's with the name change ?

Colin collected the frame at 8.15 this morning. Right - time to start my own new project!

Thank Pubrunner - he started it!


(Come to think of it - thank Mrs Pubrunner - I bet she made him get rid of it!)

 

[stephec]

Gaz, do you still work near the velodrome?

I can't find your number, if you pm me we can sort out me dropping it off.



Cheers, Colin

A huge huge thanks to all involved in this

You win your bet !

To her . . . . it was "old tat"

To me . . . . 'treasure' to be restored at some time in the future; realistically - never. But I still didn't want to part with it.

Mind you, plans are afoot to acquire a tandem; I wonder what she'll say about that ! Actually, I already know.

I just tell her that she can't wear all her 30+ pairs of shoes at once. She told me that most women actually have more pairs of shoes than that.

Come to think of it, she's probably spent more on shoes than I have on bikes - I'm deffo getting a tandem then !

Hopefully, Gaz will give us a progress report on the frame; it would be great to see the finished article - I bet it'll ride really nicely.

I've been struck down with man-flu - typical as I'm off this week too

Intended to strip the frame down this weekend - fail !!!!!

The first question I need to ask myself is do I go SS/fixie ?

It wouldn't be my choice - too many hills around here . . . . . . . why limit yourself ?

Mind you, it'd make it easier to get the frame back on the road - which is the most important thing imo.
