Title: Picked up my birthday pressie today
Post by: pickle on April 19, 2010, 05:32 PM
long story but for my birthday the Mrs wanted to get me a street beat (always regreted selling my old one) and she loved the colour, so i spent what felt like an age trying to find one and then Bill sent me a PM and before i know it he's dropped it off at SBD's for me.

so The Mrs bough me the frame, forks and bars and paid for the new paint job from Dan (who's done a superb job as per usual)

she's gunna be a rider by the way  :daumenhoch:

she's a top girl and a huge thanks to Bill as he pretty much gave it away  :4_17_5:

Have a good one - looking forward to seeing that Rob - you always do a frame justice (though not sure about Green and Blue - but thats my hang up)

Have a you got a date for the charity ride yet?
Title: Re: Picked up my birthday pressie today
Post by: QuadPaul on April 21, 2010, 10:06 AM
Yeah all good thanks mate, just been busy racing so not been able to get any passes for park riding as well :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: pickle on April 21, 2010, 10:10 AM
Thanks Si, the green and blue thing with me goes way back.......i stripped my old Burner BITD and had it the same green with blue Z's, then blue Tuffs so it's an old fave of mine.   :crazy2:

as for the charity ride?  i was going to coincide it with the sky london ride this year........what you think?

Belated  Happy 40th birthday Rob  :daumenhoch:

Hope you had a good one !!

Nice pressie too , love them Chris King headsets , keep saying Im going to get one for my MTB one of these days  ::)
Title: Re: Picked up my birthday pressie today
Post by: pickle on April 21, 2010, 12:43 PM
cheers lads  :daumenhoch:  the CK just came up by chance, i was looking for any old blue headset and Glen had that  :daumenhoch:

for a MTB though?  it's a buy once and fit once then thats it!  i had one on my old MTB for over 10 years and it never needed servicing ir tightening once!  i guess it just depends if you want to shell out or not.  i only sold mine as the frame i was using had an internal headset.

wish i'd kept it though as i now ride an inbred and i could've put it back in there  :-\

my lovely newly built blue Z's will be with me soon ready to go on the beat  :daumenhoch:
