Mechanic needed
« on: September 12, 2005, 10:52 AM »
Hello

Wondering if any of you guys could recommend a decent bike mechanic in the London (Vauxhall) area.

Just waiting for my redline cruiser frame to come back from the chromers and I have some lovely new parts to fit (King headset, Reline cranks). Trouble is, i'm a bit nervous about f**king the whole thing up with a ham fisted attempt to do it myself.

BTW - new site looks great.

Cheers

Rite

I am NOT gonna allow this

We will help at every corner, but you WILL do it yourself.

Where do you want to start?

Headset is as good place as any?

I have a cup press you can borrow to install the headset & BB. It's pretty heavy but I am guessing we could meet up at some point. I spend most of the week around Greenford, or evenings in South Kilburn, so I am not too far away.

OK OK!!!
I do have some tools (rubber hammer, screwdriver), but just need the encouragement I guess.

Just being a lazy ar$ed Londoner who would rather pay for something than do it myself.

Sandro - not a bad idea. I'll see how I get on.

A vice and a couple of old bike brochures is what I used for my bb, good job too because it was helluva tight!!

I have two vices, but I'm not sure the smoking and drinking will help me on this occasion. :D
