Evan Andreou Posted December 22, 2008 Share Looks like having friends pays off. Mr PV, a part time hubber, has organised me a loan bike and Alexander Lamberts from Bester Cycles has managed to get me a Cannondale Six 13 at a give away price, cannot wait to get back from holiday. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Andreou Posted December 22, 2008 Share Would still like to find my old bike though, but the prospect of a new(ish) bike is pretty appealing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Devil Posted December 22, 2008 Share I'm glad you got sorted WolfieWelldone to everyone that is helping to get you back on the road. How will the 'dale compare to your previous bike...spec/weight looks wise. That Orbea of your was a really nice looking bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ox_Wagon Posted December 22, 2008 Share Your Orca been stolen! There is not a lot of guys that will fit on it and it isn't such a commen frame. Pos a pic so that if it surface someone may be able to ID it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Andreou Posted December 22, 2008 Share The 'dale is a copper colour, dura ace specced with American Classic 420 wheelset, looks-wise it will probably grow on me, weight wise should be pretty close. All in all I cannot complain, also got a very reasonable repayment arrangement with the owner. Will build a new record groupset over the course of the year, but will endure the shimano in the meantime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Devil Posted December 22, 2008 Share always best to get you own back. I know what you mean HR. I have been there before myself.When you sell a bike, it's a decision that you make and you move on, but when your bike is stolen you never really get over it. It's like catching your GF/wife sleeping with someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIVETRAIN Posted December 22, 2008 Share Speaking of theft -- House was broken into & vandalised last week --- small electronics/clothing taken etc ......

Ox_Wagon Posted December 22, 2008 Share Will build a new record groupset over the course of the year' date=' but will endure the shimano in the meantime[/quote'] I know what you meen. The AM 420 may be a bit flexy for you. They have a weight limit of around 120kg if I remember correctly but the spoke count is a bit low. I must add I am extremely impressed with my AM?s. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I hope you enjoy your new bike.
