This makes me think slimjoe could be the one that outbid me in the very last seconds on the item destinied to be mine. Remember the guy outbidding me was called 'yetisherpa' or something. You're yetisherpa slimjoe?

OOOOH, good kahrma could be coming around to you too Melvin. Let's hope the Grove Products gods see fit to send me a pair of Hot Rods now

Not to be greedy, or anything

Howdy, yep my e-bay name is yetisherpa. Sucks dont it? I never look whos bidding on e-bay in fact i hardly use it anymore. However it might be a good time to reap the benefits of some kit ive hauled in in the past. Im selling all of stuff im not presently using, you could call it recycling. Please look out for a bunch of COOK BROS. stuff, GROVE HAMMERHEAD etc. I will be sticking it on E-bay i dont like it much but it does give everyone a fair chance. I aplogise if i outbid anyone out there but hey its been done to me loads of times!!!

I bought and sold things to you as well .

have you got a link for your auctions ?

I havent had time to put stuff up for auction but i promise it will be coming soon

Thwang,

I'll pm you with the steel details...

Got the Grove to a rolling chassis today, can't wait to get it to a point of ridable.

Lee is hooking me up with the Ritchey Logic brake kit as the original has been parted out through the years. Once that arrives, I should be good to go. Please Mr. Postman...

rody

My package from Lee arrived today so off I went on the build.

I've got it ridable now, though I'm still missing a few items to put her back to original flavor...

- One turqoise blue Ringle seat binder
- One turqoise blue Avid Tri-dangle
- Specialized Ground Control Extreme tires
- Deore XT toe-clips and straps

I'm running it with the Thomson post (the XT was all nasty bent) and Flite saddle for now as they are both available and quite comfy.

It's been quite fun tracking down some of the parts. Most, like the XT platforms, I gave to friends years ago when I built up bikes for them from my spare parts bin. Some quite humorous calls made in the last couple of weeks...

"Hey Mark, do you still have that GT I built up for you 12 years ago?"

"Yeah, I think it's out in the shed under the Little Tikes Princess Playhouse"

"Awesome! Do you know if it still has the the Anodized Turqoise Avid Tri-dangle straddle cable hangers?"

"The WHAT????"

"You know, the little blue dohickeys on the brake cables above the tires"



This weekend is our local 24 hour race...may take the Hardcore out on a lap

cheers,

rody

Rody ,

I have some NOS turquoise Avid triangle if you want .

loving it, that paint is the best. Mighty high BB on it, you get many fallen trees or bouders?

Great to see the brakes got there safely Rody, and I gotta say ........... that grove does look mighty sweet

Very good

Melvin,

Your response made me chuckle, very witty

rody

What an awesome paintjob.

Do you think we will ever see a fluo revival again?

(Baring in mind everything seems to have gone full circle these days)
