All I got were two parking tickets from the hotel car park, bargain at £160 for the pair

What's the story behind them ? Were you not stopping at the hotel ??

I was, but the hotel don't own the car park....didn't notice it was a pay and display until Monday morning

Im assuming this was the Premier Inn Willen Lake car park ?? I was at the Holiday Inn on the Friday night and didn't pay for parking there $:-\$

Swopped homemade bits with Clint
Nice set of bars that for two hours were Birmingham wheels bars but after lots of consultations turned out to be exceptional braised copies
Set of pedals and a couple of stands of JT
A ratty Opc for £5 off someone
Pair of white grips off the legend that is church
White lee chi tech lll of rupert bear
And finally a lovely pink CW Racing Z1500

I brought this frame of Del for my son who was begging me for it since Saturday when he saw it, nice one Del

Sunday morning I got it, had it built from my spare bits on site before it rained

Not bad for a 'Field Build'

You obviously know your forks are back to front?

Huge thanks to Jaymz who sold me some cracking little cranks for my SUB, she's now back on the road and ready to ride

His lad 'Junior' not only helped out all weekend but gave me his old Haro Pro race bike so i can do it up a little and give it to a house hold across the way from me. They have three girls (and not a lot of money) so i plan to add a few new bits to it and then pass it on

cranks look great, keep me updated on the pro race, juniors eager to know what happens to his first proper BMX

Had a mega haul at this year.... Mint Gold mx1000's ( dated 82/83 ) gold 7x s with large flange Suntour hubs on both.. ( from the lovely VanmanJimmer ) and various bits from old Biagio all at reasonable prices.. Andy gave me the Dx levers in packets for my mancave.

Finally picked up one of my all time favourites as a complete ... An Aero Pro from the star that is Kerryman ( cheers bud! ) ... Can't wait to get this stripped, cleaned and tarted up! Thread to follow soon!

I bought a few bits, first time for a while, feels good to be building a bike again!

Nuts, grips etc from Biagio

Tuffs from Tim Phelps (not sure of his rad username)

Bars from Paul Snav

Now I need a nice one piece crank if anyone's got one?! Cheers
