Ant and Andy's 512 mile Old School Bmx road trip ! ( to hell and back! )

[deeman]

I almost suggested a detour into the east end to get a salt beef beigel on Brick Lane. I'll save that for the London ride. Love a bit of salt beef 

Brick Lane bagels RULE!

I'll be up for one of those this time Andy

It's well worth the trip Rob .... Apart from loosing the rest of the group for an hour like we all did last year !

Great thread guys, always a pleasure to meet customers and show them the place and
what goes on, it's amazing how everyone enjoys seeing all the frames and chatting about
my work etc, been doing this for many years and still enjoy it

Nice one Lads
 i've had so many frames go to Dan.. But never seen the place

Yeah, same mate. Dan's painted the same frame 3 times for me, plus several of my others. What  a great idea to have a ride down there and meet the man himself, this should be a radbmx annual event, a pilgrimage if you will. Dan if you read this, thanks again for my sparkly red Holmes kit, I hope to shake your hand one day, until then keep making us lot smile.

1 right turn too many after leaving Brick Lane. My fault.  The route seems different on a bike compared to walking. I've got the route sussed now. No more mistakes

I enjoyed reading that.

Cool you took the trip and thanks for sharing!  It's nice to get an insight to a place where so many bikes get their flawless finishes.

It was a very long, but great day. Dan was a top bloke and an absolute pleasure to deal with

I totally get the idea of taking a trip like that. Especially if something is very dear to one.

This has brought it all back .... Having flashbacks of that day now ! 

In all seriousness it was a bloody great trip and all part of the labour of love that you just do in this crazy hobby ... Dan is definitely the Man!
