For sale & wanted / Cyclocross Bike

« on: January 08, 2019, 07:29:06 AM »

I'm looking for a cyclocross bike ( or frameset ) if anyone is selling.

I'll consider most things, but must have:

▪ 60/61/62cm frame
▪ Disc equipped

Thanks

Wish I had spell checked that... the joys of posting from a "smart phone" that insists it knows best....   ha.

Club discussion / Winter MTB ?

« on: October 16, 2018, 02:14:07 PM »

Is anyone interested in potentially having a bit of an experiment off road now the weather is turning?

CX looks fun but and plan to give that a go but I'm thinking more MTB on this tread.

Cannot claim to be much more than MTB-curious these days but happy to link with any club members who fancy a weekend trip to Gisburn or Llandegai to give it a go. 

Llandegai ( One Planet ) offers bike hire if you don't have one but needs booking well in advance. 

Thinking probably blue ( moderate ) to red ( difficult ) depending on who is interested.

We'll agree date,  location,  time ( earlier is better ) so it doesn't eat the whole day.

Get in touch as the diary tends to fill up.

Mick. Good to meet you on Sunday. Enjoyed the event and I think it has inspired me to have a go at a later round.  For anyone who is  thinking of coming down to volunteer at an event, this was the second I have gone to and found the whole crowd welcoming,  friendly and the enthusiasm is infectious... so don't " may be " ... get involved.

I've got a couple of these or sale.

1 brand new and still in the wrapper , in the box was delivered.
1 has been used once.

All present and correct.

Subsequently changed car and can get my pride and joy inside, so no longer needed.

I'm looking for £140.

Collection preferred but happy to drop within the west/south west of Manchester.

They are also on eBay, so message me quick if you are interested.

Mick, are you still short of helpful hands? If so, can you let me have details on timing and meeting etc and will see what I can do. Paul

Dan. Looks like they are near Macclesfield, which regrettably is usually a bit far out for me to reach after work ( Manchester ) but I'll keep an eye on if I get an opportunity.

Great evening.
Enjoyed that.

Just about managed to keep pace scribbling down race numbers as Elaine called them.

Happy to help with other events if needed.

Nice dog.

If you are still looking for helpers I can come along.

 I will struggle for 6pm but should make 630pm. Putting on my calendar.

I'm a new member so will need a quick crash course but I'm game.

I'll head for the car park and find you.
Should I bring anything? ( high viz??)
