Does anyone know..

an old school type bike mechanic in the SE London area that still
works on British stuff?

TIA

 

Getting desperate, are we? Let me guess: the ShiteOldTriumph?

 

My guess was they all went bankrupt waiting for their customers to
arrive...

 

Aye. It's running slightly rough at low revs and I just can't get to
the bottom of it.

BTW, was that you near the Oval this lunchtime? Surely there can't
be two SL125s in David Dickinson Fake Tan Orange?

 

Very droll

 

Um, possibly. The 400 Four I've just bought came from a geezer who lives
just close to the War Museum. I was up there at 1130, and heading back
home at noon.

But I wasn't quite by the Oval. Straight up past Stockwell Road tube, up
past Kennington Park, and then onto the big Elephant roundabout.

And it's two-tone black and yellow, thankyouverymuch.

 

In other words, right past Oval tube station.

 

Oh yeah.... D'oh.

It's still not orange, though.

 

Yep, on Clapham Rd, just south of the tube station and going South. I
was going the other way.

Orangey-yellow. Looks nice, though despite that.

I've just had the SOTriumph resprayed black with orange stripes on the
tank.

I think Hollingshead is still practising in Catford.

Yup Google thinks he is too.

 

Might give him a ring then. Ta.

Hasn't got it right yet, then?

Probably best avoided.

 

You can't polish a turd.

 

Unless GvH has plasticised it...

Unfortunately not, but if a run slightly northwards is of any use,
these chaps are quite into shite old bikes:

Additional thought. There's a British bike shop at Hither Green called
"Ace Classics" in the Yellow Pages. Perhaps they can put you on to
someone.

Not at all, 'twas but a jest.

 

Right you are then. It wouldn't have surprised me if you had.

 

I used to play with him when he was in Running On Empty
