Re: wheel lacing
Eccles Racing is a small company so probably doesn't have fixed opening times like Sainbury's - and certainly won't be open Saturday night!
However he does wheel building in Norfolk.

Re: wheel lacing
I'm sure you he'll be flexible enough to arrange something with you after work or on a Saturday or sumfink.

Yes
Re: wheel lacing
Must have been an old hippie then
IIRC I think Mr Mon used to do this for a living or he covered it during his apprenticeship days or is that sidecar days : Something like that anyway.

Re: wheel lacing
don't remember any hippy paraphernalia but when I saw him 30yrs ago he looked a lot like you do.
mid length un kept black hair
about 8 or 9 stone dripping wet
didn't stand up straight or move with any speed
dressed for function with no care for fashion, although Corcs hadn't been invented then
lived in a wooden shed surrounded by tools equipment that must have been older than he was.
that is nothing like Carl, I was wrong

Re: wheel lacing
He hadn't change when he did mine 18 years ago
Re: wheel lacing
To be fair the only differences are that he didn't have crocs & Carl hasn't got a shed...AMCQ46 wrote:don't remember any hippy paraphernalia but when I saw him 30yrs ago he looked a lot like you do.

Oh and I don't have Black hair. If I had Black hair I wouldn't have any as it's so fast you wouldn't see it.
