Recently heard hair shampoo can work really well.....but haven't tried it myself yet

Life update...... Left education, I loved the actual job but the people, politics, dick swinging and lying, mixed with playing piggy in the middle and being on less money than new lecturers with less experience and qualifications led to me inadvertently handing in my notice mid March...

And primed ready for some funky paint....... i need to shorten the steerer a bit but it can wait for now. I know i should pre-build it but it's taken long enough so far haha 😂

Small update....... Managed to strip most the paint, some very minor areas I struggled with but hey hoe. Removed the bottom bracket eventually with the help of some power tools and bloody big adjustable spanner haha.

Fingers crossed we make this event a smashing success, @Cocktail_Dave has put buckets of work and efforts into this so as long as the sun shines, the camping is chilled, the ale is flowing and we have effing loads to look at, buy, sell, swap ride and enjoy....winning :)

Hopefully this crap weather passes and we have glorious sunshine again this year. Got a couple of new projects I'm hoping to bring this year and look forward to seeing all the new, new old and old bikes. Is it summer yet haha

I've some carbon ones but need to check the axle to crown, steelers quite long iirc, I'll check as soon as I can escape to the workshop haha

Will do

I'm game

Putting the feelers out for a july gathering, meet up and ride. Steady around ladybower, Mark's infamous route, cut gate etc. Preferably on retrobikes .......hence the forum ;) bar a bit off piss taking, all are welcome.

Looking like it's gonna be a great weekend away again, let's see if we can make it more than 100 retrobikes on display across the displays/clubs. We've got a stand obviously but of your linked to other groups on Facebook etc, get involved :)

Finally paid for the xc retro race and dmr pump track. The stand should be more "elegent" and refined this year..... ;)
