cheers wicky
i have emailed them but
there web site seems a bit vague
i can`t even see thier opening times or is it just me

[Wicky]

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.

that has been one of my problems
i work from 6.00-5.30 five days a week so have trouble getting anywhere to get anything done

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

got my wheel relaced
done another search and found someone in framlingham suffolk
and rang a speedway bike place in bawburgh.
the speedway place was very very helpful and said they do not lace wheels themself but an old boy in dereham does,
so i rang him and took my wheel over to him
first of all dragonfly motorcycles had supplied the wrong size nipples "no worrys you can have some of mine" said phil
then i left it with him friday night and got a text saturday night "its ready"
all perfect £15
what more can i say but thanks phil
framlingham wanted £48

I had my t80 rear wheel laced once , some places wanted £200 +
Found a old guy in cov in a little shed he did it for £30 sadly passed away now

Did he look a bit like Carl? He did my MZ racer wheels as well

Yes

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.

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

[lloydie]

He hadn't change when he did mine 18 years ago

To be fair the only differences are that he didn't have crocs & Carl hasn't got a shed...

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.
