Would probably be Monday before I could collect if that works for you? Or any other day during the week, I can work around you. If you want to bung me a PM.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15078#post-192438 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 16:47:47 +0000 Grahamn 192438@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>you can have both for a tenner if that suits you</p> <p>their not in their prime of youth but they`re not dented or anything just covered in old bits of packing tape , shipping labels etc.</p> <p>cheers </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15078#post-192424 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 12:57:49 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 192424@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That.

I think that's exactly the type of thing I'm after. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15078#post-192418 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 12:33:23 +0000 wingpig 192418@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Give ruggtomcat a shout to see where he got the metal things for the back of his trailer. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15078#post-192414 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 11:49:32 +0000 kaputnik 192414@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Without knowing what you're schemeing up, I can recommend big and cheap plastic storage boxes (I got mine in Poundstretcher). It's tough and lightweight, easy to drill holes through to fix it to things and won't sound like you're cycling around with a bass drum behind you.</p> <p>Easily reinforced with some external woodwork; handily my trailer already has a plywood loadbed so I just bolted it through that with some big washers to spread the load across the plastic.</p> <p>P.S. I know you'll probably be thinking "If I'd wanted a big plastic box I would have asked for one!", but it's just a thought ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15078#post-192413 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 11:44:48 +0000 fimm 192413@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>How big is "medium sized"? I assume an old biscuit box is waaaay too small? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15078#post-192412 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 11:42:33 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 192412@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Had an idea for a trailer with some stuff I've got kicking around the garage, but in need of a medium-ish size box, preferably metal (like those lightweight aluminium ones used with shaped foam for carrying fragile stuff).</p> <p>Anyone got anything lying around? </p>
