    Collection and Onward Post Assistance - Bristol to Manc

    Greetings all, I have found what I think is the perfect child seat for the wifes Pashley, but the seller (in Bristol) is either suggesting Hermes (ahem, no thankyou :shock: :lol: ) or local collection. For beer and cake tokens, would someone be kind enough to be able to collect from Coalpit...

    Child Seat Fitting

    Hi All, I'm looking at getting a child seat for our 2year old, and would prefer the rear rack or frame mount type rather than those where they sit in front of you (skinny narrow retro bars do not afford a great deal of space), however thinking about my frame, I have a down tube routed top pull...

    Anyone in Newcastle or Nottingham able to do me a favour?

    Not in the slightest bike related... there's something in Marks & Spencers that the Mrs wants (steady on, its only a cushion :wink:) and its only in stock in Newcastle and Nottingham. She's spoken to the stores and they don't do over the counter payments or post... Could anyone local pop by...

    Looking for a retro Howies advert circa '98 ish

    There was Howies ad in MBUK back in the day that I have scoured the internet for, but to no avail. It was of a path through a park with the usual council fun-sponge painted warning "No Cycling-No Skating", under which someone had chalked, "No point living!" Like I say, many hours of net...
