So, there I was…

[peetee]

….minding my own business, having a cuppa after a ride (as you do), and I get Messenger pinged by a older chap in my bike club. “Pete, he says, I have a friend with some old bike tools he’d like to pass on…no cost to yourself”
‘Oh, no’ I thought. ‘Another offer of some manky, useless multispanners and rounded-off Allen keys retrieved from the skip at the back of Halfords’.
Well, my judgemental little bonce was given a right, corrective slap in the features when he posted a photo.
Three days later these arrived in the post.

Guy who lives across the road offered me some tools a few years back. I don't often turn such things down because sometimes there are some gems in with the rubbish. It was a box of old carpentry moulding planes - very nice, but no real use to me or so I thought. At the bottom of the box was a hand made wooden case which when opened revealed an Imperial tap & die set which included some cycle-useful sizes such as 9/16"x20 in both right and left hand threads.

Jeez, I've just bought a pair of those!

Oh, now those would be nice to stumble upon.
