Today I took my Birdy for some work to the Greenspeed trike factory (just 18km from home). Later in the day I picked it up again and went in to pay for the work. The "office" is a shelf along the wall in a corner of the factory, in the parts store. So while Rachel Sims struggled to get the CC machine going, I went for a stroll along those shelves groaning with bike parts... oh boy
* A shelf stocked with Bromton parts, rear triangles, forks, saddles, seatposts, smaller bits like brakes etc. etc. :love: (Greenspeed is the local importer for Brommie.)
* A shelf stocked with small wheel parts, rims, spokes, cassettes, hubs, mudguards, with a zillion tyres hanging from the wall. :love::love:
* Shelf chock-full of chainrings and chainring guards... some of those rings were truly giant, MUCH larger than my 60T rings, probably close to 100T... :eek:
* shelf brimming with internal gear stuff, a box full of Nexus 8sps, SA 8sps, SRAM iMotion-9s along with shifters, cables, sprockets... :thumb:
*Greenspeed trikes standing around in all stages of build... :p
Just outside a 4-wheel 'bike' which they had just welded S&S couplers in... a bike that I have read about that is going to be ridden across Asia... :rolleyes:
At this stage my vision was swimming and I got called back to the CC machine. :twitchy:
I wa going to bring my camera along but my daughter had pinched the mem card. :notamused:
