End of an era – last Wed night in the Church Hall – 15th Jan

So this Wednesday, the 15th Jan, is the last Wed night in the Church Hall in Stewart Street.  I’ve been going along to these for 25 years, the club having started basing itself there a little bit before I joined, so this is the end of an era for me as well as GMBC.  I’m intending to go along for the ride if the weather’s not too bad and will definitely head along for a post-ride cuppa from about 9.30pm in any case.  There are a few others coming along too.  Anyone else fancy coming along to mark the occasion?

Iain Clow – accident at Cathkin

Iain had a tumble off his bike at cathkin yesterday. He was transferred to from Hairmyers to monklands and underwent surgery today. They have reset his broken nose, stitched both lips back into place and he has several stitches over his face. All things considered he has been very lucky. Its likely he will get home tomorrow, be off work for 2 weeks and it will take 6 weeks for his face to be back to normal- its currently twice its size.  Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Anyone want to organise a whip-round for a set of stabilisers…?

For Sale; Titanium hardtail frame 19.5″

Hi Guys,

I’m selling my 2010 Van Nicholas Mamtor titanium frame.  It’s a 19.5″ centre to top size with an effective top tobe of 24.4″ (full geometry below).  Would suit someone about 6ft+.  Has two bottle cage bosses and crud guard bosses on the down tube.  Headtube is oversized at the bottom (44mm ID) and the frame comes with an oversize Nuke Proof external headset to take standard 1 1/8″ forks and also an extra Superstar headset with an internal lower race.  Takes a 27.2mm seat post.  It’s designed around a 140mm fork, although I’ve been running 120-150mm forks on it.

It’s in excellent condition and, being titanium never corrodes and polishes up like new.

Looking for £475 for it.  Let me know if you or anyone you know is interested before it goes to Singletrack/Ebay.

Pics below (and yes the top tube is supposed to be bent). Continue reading
