Retrobike Chimp

mrkawasaki · Sep 11, 2008

A valuable part of the Heathy Cycling Menagerie, this fetchingly crafted chimp is now available for sale to the membership.

Once umbilically connected to a seedy organ grinder in Hope until charmed from his grasp by the aforementioned Mr Heath, the chimp is now free of said relationship and is looking for a new owner who will care and nurture him.

Offers in the region of two Power Bar wrappers or similar will be considered.

That's a strong word

I was in the pub when the chimp 'attacked' Heathy....I dunno what happened to it after that

I have a pair of soiled Umbro trainer socks. There were NOS, but then I wore them to the Peaks meet

Any interest to you?

It was a great weekend apart from my lacklustre performance....I didn't think I was THAT unfit

The self punishment has begun though, nightly Turbo Trainer sessions since the meet...

Shame

I would take it but I wanted a silver one

Can you strip and anodize chimps?

Could we all club together and build him a miniture chimp retrobike, then he could be truly free. We could send him round the world to all the retrobikers to have his picture taken on their favourite trails.
We could post them up and have a Chimp of the month type vote.
I am only down the road a few miles from John O Groats so I can ride him out to the sign and snap a shot to start him off. ( I promise I wont anodize him) :shock:

Home for lunch

Superb idea !!!

Mr K this sounds cool, get the little bastid all the way round the world and back

I'll photograph him in the hell-hole I live in (probably get mugged for my Monkey

)

Better to travel....

Yep, I'm with this idea... I'll get the little fella snapped out with me on the Mary Townley Loop on Sunday...

Let's start a list of who wants to be included in the project...

1. Heathy charms chimp to go along for the ride...
2. Leaves Hope under the guardianship of Mr K and rides around the South Pennines before travelling to...
3.

I'll start a gallery in the lil fella's honour...
