I did point it out to Mrs Morningsider, so I'm not surprised to hear that it's gone a (ahem) good home. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8862#post-90570 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 18:55:02 +0000 SRD 90570@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Greenroofer sorry to hear that. Offer still stands when and if. It's a great wee bike (albeit of no monetary value). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8862#post-90569 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 18:54:36 +0000 Morningsider 90569@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>ahem - I'm sure the Specialized Hotrock went to a good home... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8862#post-90566 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 17:43:17 +0000 Greenroofer 90566@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks both SRD and Tom. </p> <p>@Tom - I was actually after a 12" wheel for a three year old, so I think it will take a bit too long for him to 'grow into' your offer. </p> <p>@SRD Following discussion at Greenroofer Towers, authorisation for any purchase or borrowing of 12" bikes has not been forthcoming, so I shall regretfully decline the offer you would have made had you been there today and the offer you did make when we met. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8862#post-90558 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:41:05 +0000 SRD 90558@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@greenroofer Quite understand all the issues. Sorry I wasn't there to lend you the tenner. At home with lurgy. But let me know if you want to try the small bike we have that we discussed in pub. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8862#post-90557 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:39:20 +0000 Cyclingmollie 90557@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Our girls are too old for toys now. Greenroofer I have a Specialized HotRock in the shed which they have grown out of. Alloy 20" wheels, v-brakes, 8 speed grip-shift gears. It's pink; not sure if that's a deal breaker. I'd take £35 for it. </p> <p><code><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/44681630@N02/8171962094/"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8060/8171962094_2d31869566.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/44681630@N02/8171962094/">20121110_132315</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/44681630@N02/">Cycling Mollie</a>, on Flickr</code> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8862#post-90555 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:29:44 +0000 Greenroofer 90555@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@SRD I was acutely conscious of the cashpoint just down the road, and indeed there was a certain amount of indecision and internal debate in the churchyard (home or cashpoint? cashpoint or home?). Trouble was, I didn't think that coxswean would tolerate being loaded into the bikeseat, then unloaded again to go back into the hall to see if the bike was still there.</p> <p>Also, I wasn't <em>entirely</em> sure that Mrs Greenroofer had approved (or would retrospectively approve) the purchase, and that was rather weighing on my mind too... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8862#post-90553 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:11:20 +0000 SRD 90553@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>oh dear. sorry to hear that Greenroofer -- there's a cash point just down the road at Scotmid. I always take my chequebook, and haven't regretted it yet.</p> <p>@spytfyre - there was a cake shortage, <strike>miraculously</strike> averted by arrival of late flying volunteer. (minister would not have crossed out :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8862#post-90552 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 13:53:46 +0000 Greenroofer 90552@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Went along with coxswean. Met Mrs Morningsider, who said I was brave bringing coxswean with me. Saw lots of tempting stuff (Playmobil airliner without a tail, anyone?). Found a perfect 12" wheel bicycle for coxswean (proper Specialized, a real bike rather than a toy), a snip at £45. Found I only had £35. Came home.</p> <p>Next time check wallet before going... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8862#post-90486 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 21:14:30 +0000 spytfyre 90486@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><strong>CAKE!</strong> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8862#post-90469 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 18:00:57 +0000 SRD 90469@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Tomorrow! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8862#post-90263 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:30:39 +0000 SRD 90263@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nearly New Toy sale this Saturday from 11-1 at Polwarth Church.
