Hey, these things take tmie (especially when Mercian point out a chainstay is shot and have to sort a replacement, and then the bike comes back with some fundamental parts missing that are virtually impossible to source).</p> <p>Bodges are looking like they might work, however. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1925#post-74942 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:46:53 +0000 crowriver 74942@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Okay, I admit my 'expedition tourer' project has not taken anywhere near as long as this.....yet. Hats off to Anth for the extended timescale, slightly quicker than Tutankhamun's tomb restoration project. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1925#post-74939 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:40:35 +0000 steveo 74939@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>My intention is to get it back up and running in the next 4-6 weeks, with every chance I was going to suggest a PY coffee morning pretty soon after :P</em><br /> <u>Posted 1 year ago #</u></p> <p>:D </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1925#post-74938 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:33:45 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 74938@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Getting there....</p> <p>*tortoise not hare* </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1925#post-22482 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 11:01:59 +0000 wingpig 22482@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I presume you'll be wearing clothing (inc. hat) from the appropriate era? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1925#post-22475 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 10:52:30 +0000 kaputnik 22475@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nobody will want to drink coffee, they'll all just "want a shottie" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1925#post-22468 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 10:28:43 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 22468@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My intention is to get it back up and running in the next 4-6 weeks, with every chance I was going to suggest a PY coffee morning pretty soon after :P </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1925#post-22463 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 10:12:13 +0000 Smudge 22463@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>**green**! looking lovely, can't wait to see it at PY some Friday morning when the weather is better :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1925#post-22282 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 17:18:37 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 22282@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Right, got back onto this today. <a href="http://sunbeamrestoration.wordpress.com/2011/01/26/decals/">Decals now on</a>... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1925#post-20390 Wed, 29 Dec 2010 10:12:55 +0000 gembo 20390@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anth your H Lloyd order was the second mention of decals in a month, the first being in the obits for Don Van Vliet</p> <p><a href="http://www.beefheart.com/datharp/albums/official/decals.htm"><img src="http://www.beefheart.com/datharp/albums/official/pics/abstract.gif"></p> <p>Reproduction of a Don Van Vliet painting included on the sleeve [of Lick My Decals Off, Baby].<br /> </a></p> <p><img src="http://www.beefheart.com/datharp/albums/official/pics/decalsalt.jpg"></p> <p>To be honest not that great a decal but quite good.
