Anyone Still Panicking Waiting on MK Bits?
« on: July 30, 2010, 12:08 PM »
Seen a seat on us bay 3 weeks ago...thought it would go on either a yellow or chrome frame I was hoping to find so set my alarm late and won the auction.
I had been after a yellow seat for a while.....days went past and I was thinking it may have been holed up in customs or something so last weekend I emailed the seller this was his response  :LolLolLolLol:

Dear Jason,

I just got your message. I am sorry about this. my wife surprised me with a surprise vacation, although I was happy about the time away, the boxes I needed to ship did not get shipped while we were gone. We just got back and the post office is now closed. Your item will be shipped with a tracking number first thing Monday morning. I am sorry about the delay on this. Sincerely, Chris Felke, Felke Antiques.

I hit the roof...apart from wheels this bit was the final bit of the puzzle......anyway cut along story short just got a text of my girlfriends sister and the fooker has arrived and not been taxed either  :coolsmiley:

My fault in a way decided to do a build for MK from nothing in a daft amount of time and finding the frameset I wanted took way to long to begin with.
Silly bits like Sugino Crank Caps,Wheels,Tyres that I thought would be a synch proved difficult...been a while since I done a build and the parts that where so easy to get a year ago have more or less dried up  ;)
Next build will be more easy going and no time restraints or haggling with us ebayers at 3 in the morning to do me a Buy it Now or Begging them to End an Auction  :LolLolLolLol:

Yeeeehaaaar! The missus just dropped by the LBS and the wheel is done and now sat safe in my hall! Sling it on the old Team Mongoose and I'm sorted for my race wheels unless I can get the shagged Supergoose ready for Sunday ;-)

One sleep 'till MK!

Thankfully finished my bikes last week so no stress there.  :4_17_5:


I'm stressed over a pedal spanner though as i can't find mine and i need to remove them all before my Chauffeur arrives tomorrow morning.

I'm slowly ticking off the jobs that need to be done.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

I'll pack an angle grinder then Mark.  :LolLolLolLol:



Found my stands now but i reckon i'll have to buy some more. I know Sawzall has made some top jobbies and is selling them down there. I've just text him to order one but maybe i'll need two.

Any one got a Nut and bolt same size as a dc hinged or there abouts?
The bolt I bought is too big for the shimano btype coaster arm  :crazy2:
Would a cable tie work til I get the bike to MK?
