Thats the problem these days Dave, there are so many pro's around especially on here you just cant move for em.......Blimey ;)

And their prices are quite reasonable too  :LolLolLolLol:

Oh, hang on wrong forum and different pro's ... :LolLolLolLol:

Pmsl :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: You on that one as well Marty? :LolLolLolLol:

The decorator's are in again ....  :LolLolLolLol:

Ahem! Seriously though I'd love to get to Bones this weekend to check out some of the bikes but it's the wife's birthday on 15th and I reckon I've two hopes, Bob Hope and No Hope, BTW Bob's dead so that only leaves No hope  :( Plus I want to build my '85 Haro Master now I have most of the bits, although the wife doesn't know about that either  :2funny:

Are there any plans for another ride maybe a bit further south sometime soon?

I also didn't want a new school bike to weigh a ton. My beergut makes up plenty weight on its own. I think it must be made of stainless steel too. ;D I went for a S&m Stricker frame. i haven't built it up yet, so don't know what the final weight will be. Terrible one barcode has a good reputation. Proper bikes also seem to have a good reputation

The site below had reviews on new school frames etc.  have a look at it..

Proper Bikes are.........................well............Proper..Anyone here got one???? :LolLolLolLol:



I've a frame in the shed, one of those Dan Galf ones that were originally made for Proper. It rode just fine, only reason I don't use it now is I was able to buy a T1 at a good price.

Wasn't he the bloke in the Lord of the Rings movies?  :LolLolLolLol:

I did a google and came up with the impression he's like John Doe, a name given to somebody that no-one knows the real identity of.  Not sure that really helped though!

Proper Bike Co is owned by Carlo Griggs (i'm assuming you've heard of him?) and they are brilliant. The Houdini is my personal fave (I ride one) but i am told reliably by another member that the Proclaimer is really rather nice as well. There are a couple more members on here with Proper frames as well so dont just take my word for it!

I remember Carlo Griggs, very good rider!  Didn't know he was having frames made and was running a bike company though!

I'll have to come along to the next meet for sure and check out what everyone's riding.  :daumenhoch:
