Coming on a treat Alan

Looks like a visit to the tyre putter-onners today then!

For info, I previously used btyres, but after several unanswered calls and emails, it looks like they have gone bust. So this time I used;
TyreTec
T: 0800 3 579757
E: info@tyretectrading.co.uk
http://www.tyretectrading.co.uk/

Prices OK and fast delivery.

I always use Oponeo, they seem to be consistently cheaper and are quick at delivering. Kev

Just noticed today that the frame I had powder coated hasn't got a steering lock slot under the steering head. Bugger.
So ground one off a spare frame and got the Yeti frame ready to weld the slot bit on.
I hope hammerite smooth blends in when it's stuck in place at the welder's later.

Alan,
Thats annoying. Do you mean the 'fingers' welded to the base of the steering head were missing, or have I misunderstood? one of my 380's 'fingers' is missing and the bike has not been lockable since about 1983, when some scrote tried to nick it in Pompey! luckily, I'd fitted a kill switch under the tank, so they only broke the steering lock, smashed the ignition and - failing to start it - nicked the RH side panel. I can laugh now at my small victory but I didn't then.
Cheers,
Mike

That's the ones Mike. 'New' one welded on and the only colour hammerite I haven't got is ....... black! So rattle can will have to do 'til I get some. Now looks like this;

And nice blingy tyres, wheels & fork legs.

Lookin good Al especially the front brake
I wish my Kettle’s brake was that shiny

[Alan H]

Baz'll sort it - or Sean's lads at Agbrigg's.
Might mean a respoke to do it right though.

Alan,
Good enough to eat off, as usual. For now, anyway!
