If I can persuade my parents can I buy and save the 20.
Do u live in Scotland?

[alecw35]

yes I live near dundee, well 20 miles north.

got lots of bikes and stuff. All got to go.

Heres my RSW. Ive built 3 speed alloys for it now.


I havent got a wide shot of my R20. Heres it with its experimental cartridge BB in the Raleigh cups.

And trying a 24" wheel in it. Geuss it would have fitted with the forks straightened a bit.

That bikes got stock forks and head set on it. An SR stumpneck stem and shopper bars. No other components on it. But will have parts to build it up in all the boxes of stuff I have.

Heres my BSA 20. I shortened the headstock and fitted suspension forks.

I narrowed the bb and recut it for modern cups. Strange that its termed a BSA bottom bracket, when Raliegh put there own bbs in there. :?

part way through cutting and narrowing the bb.

Heres my custom Grifter. Though its now in bits as Ive nearly got it ready for paint. Was thinking of red stars and stripes. That was what it was when I got it. Got the paint and stickers for it.

Ive got some new spares too. Like Jagwire brake pads and 3 speed cables. Also a 451 20" tyre. And a BMX front alloy wheel.

Everything must go
Only a couple of things I want a good price for. My spoke threading machine and my Stronglight 49d cranks with selection of rings.

I'll put the burnt RSW and R 20 at the fence beside my Marin that Im keeping.

I live in a village thats about 20 miles from town. So would have to go into town to get bike boxes. Then go back with it filled up with things. That would be on the bus. So its difficult for me to send things away

[mikeyboyo]

shame, would have loved to custom that twenty

Hey its difficult, but not impossible. My sisters a gardener, and sometimes is near the bike shop with her van. So could get me a box.

She was out today with her boyfriend to take some stuff to the scrap yard.

we cleared the place where the fire was.

that was muddy grass ground. Now thick with black ash.
There was a lot of bike frames and stuff to go to the scrap yard. The first load was under a tonne. The second load was nearly double that. Bit more than the Transits allowed. But the cops they seen on the road, didnt stop them. They got over £200 for the scrap metal.

Theres more to take. mostly wheels and some complete MTBs. There coming back on friday to take more stuff.
