    As above. I'm doing a bit of work on my motorbike and switching the clocks to clocks from a later version. I need a few cuts to make brackets so if anybody has something for the bin I'll have it. Happy to swap beer tokens

    Would a fork be any use? I've a carbon fibre fork here that I was selling for 25 (it's white mind) I can take beer tokens instead

    Actually a fork might be ideal, will be relatively flat and straight. Let me look at it tomorrow

    Full road frame here, if it's any use to you.

    I'm in Waterford, so I can hang onto it till we're allowed out to play again?

    Had hoped to get to Dublin for a collection/delivery of bike related stuff over the Xmas hols, but Mehole pulled the plug.

    Thanks folks, one fork will be plenty. The street I live on is like a covid ward at the minute, 8 houses out of 30 (mine still neg)have confirmed positive so I wont meet anybody for a wee while yet.

    I'm only getting to this now. It was a bit cold in the shed for me :pac:

    Any of the above who offered free to meet near D8? Obviously covid guidelines etc.

    The bits will be used to make brackets for these clocks for anybody interested.

    Thanks for that but looking at the project now the fork will be ideal.

    Colour isn't an issue, carbon will give the strength and flex I need plus it'll be mostly hidden. If you want to PM me some times that suit to collect I'll grab it,. This is the hold up on my build now!
