Paging those in/near Edinburgh

Anyone able to check out a bike for me?

 

Whereabouts is it?

Not that there's much chance I can help, given I can't ride until my
elbow has healed, but it's my general neck of the woods...

 

The fleabay listing only gives "Edinburgh", I'll try to get more
details.

That doesn't sound good - what happened?

That's good to know.

Well, what I'm after is more someone to look the bike over to see if
it's as good as the seller seems to imply - no need for riding. But
that probably leaves the question of how you'd get there...

 

Try the AA?

 

Could do, what is it?

 

"Trouble"

Gissa working email and I'll get in touch as soon as I've got more info
from the vendor.

 

Ah, well I stopped at the red traffic light in the Netherlands, but the
bike behind me didn't. Not only did we manage a 2 bike RTA but it was a
2 SFC1000 RTA.

Got home with a swollen & stiff arm and immediately got bundled off to
A&E by the sensible person in my life. Radial head fracture in my elbow.
It's now healing nicely but there isn't enough strength in it yet to
work front brakes so not riding is prolly wise.

I'm now planning an impromptu summer holiday to the Netherlands to bring
the remains of the SFC home.

If it's Falkirk / Stirling / Linlithgow direction it's all easy enough
to get to but Mid Lothian & points east would be a hassle.

Ouch. GWS.

The address I got is in the Leith area of Edinburgh, does that ring a
bell?

 

Nononono, they usually turn up *after* I bought a bike.

 

Giving it a good look over to check if it looks better in the pictures
than it does in real life, plus check out what kind of paperwork comes
with it.

 

10 mins away, no problem.

 

Splendid.

Is your email addy valid so I can email you the details?
