the morrel of this story is when your son asks can you paint his mountain bike frame just say no as in now no closer to a new exhaust for the quat as a matter of fact im much further away by £130.12 i need another beer bugger carnt afford one now

john...:tup:

Looking good, I'd like to get my stinky recoated in powder white but it's low low down on my priorities at the moment!

The paitwork on my whyte is chipped to buggery but that's a shiny mettalic...if I could get the sticker kit I would do it though!

i must admit orange even though thay are a small company are realy helpfull and the thing that got me was the first thing thay ask is for the frame number to check its not stolen then thay check back through the records to find exactly what size frame you have to send you the right kit "brilliant service" i wish audi were like that , johnny why dont you email whyte and ask if thay still do the sticker kits for when you are ready for a re paint ??????
by the way pagent tickets are on there way to you this week and im still on the trail for a b&b if all else fails you and nige ect can stay here and well have an indian and a few beers

john...:tup:

The bike looks great m8. I'd be psyched if t'were mine.

atb sales are proper hand crankers....since John Whyte left the bikes are crap too
