Boardroom Dave's Bike update ... I have banned Dave form the forum for 30 days so he can't see this 

Updated info on the building of a bike for Boardroom Dave as a leaving gift and to say thanks for letting us ride :-)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Colourway is looking like black frame / white RAD decals / grey bars / chrome.

...we just need to keep collecting 'pledges/offers' then improve it to get the best possible / lightest possible ... swapping up as we go :-)

PLEASE don't sweat it if you can't find anything or only have donated something small, or can't find anything at all! - its from ALL of us and thats that... all of us Usual Suspects who have bothered to reply that is :-) if anyone want to donate cash we will use it buy upgrades for the bike.

Wheels are mid school 14t freewheel so .... can offer a NS rear wheel with cassette... anyone who wants to contribute some cash we can use that to buy some NS wheels.... if we got 4 x £10 contributions we could get a cheap wheelset from BMX City 

My choices for the build so Far :

Frame - Ed & Lou - WTP Trust
Forks - Griff - Mirraco
Bars - Jim - Premium NS bars
Wheels - Munny - 48 spoke off a haro ( with 14t freewheel )
Tyres - Lenny - Tanwall Oddy Aitken Tyres
Tubes - Bill - 2 x tubes
Seat - Rob Pickle - DK seat
Seatpost - Rob Pickle - Demolition seat post
Chain - Ed & Lou - Cult
Chain ring - Wadz - Salt
Cranks - Spen
Bottom Bracket - Spen
Headset - Ed & Lou - intergrated
Seat clamp - griff - mirraco
Stem - Munny
Grips - Rich - black
Brake lever - Wadz - eclat lever
Rear brake - Griff - tektro u brake with grey pads
Rear cable - Rich - black
Pedals - Jol - Fly Rubans

That is a list of parts allocated so far - can you all let me know the brands of the parts so we can trade up if anything else comes up.

I will be collecting parts at the next Boardroom meet and Creation and will get it built before Feb 23rd :-)

keep it up fellas

Sorry Ed, I have literally only just seen what you're planning to do. I have a few ns parts left and am happy to contribute what I can. If everything is sorted parts wise, count me in for a cash donation instead. Do you want a list of the stuff I have that may suit? 

[Dannywhac]

Yep - only just seen this meself...

I can either pop some cash, or I've got a pair of factory white nearly new S&M Slam Bars?

[ED209]

Dan... thats real kind mate but you don't have to  I stick your name in to the posts to try and tempt you over as Spen is keen for some new blood to groom ... I wasn't hinting that you had to chip in tho... you really should get your archeological arse over though ... the sessions will still be going on after Dave has gone ... but if you can make it to Dave's leaving one that would be great ... as it will be a top night 

[ED209]

I had to keep it off here in case Dave saw it ... we are looking to build the best possible ... but as I said, if you can't contribute a part then a small cash donation is great ... esp. as we are looking for a NS wheelset ...

It's no worries Ed - Didn't take it as a hint 

I'll have a bit more of a rummage - although I don't think I've got any NS spare hubs or 36ers kicking about. More than happy to chip in though

[Hmoon27]

Ed, I've just sent you some cash  not really got any new school stuff at the mo, got the mutiny & that's it ( unless you need a gt piston stem or seat clamp, that's about it! )

[Clean]

Can't go wrong at that money

[ED209]

Big thanks to Mr Clean the Muff Diver for his contribution

Can we have a show of hands for the colour please

Black / Red / Blue / Purple / white? I was thinking black or white... I'm now thinking black would be coolest ... or purple.
