I picked up a pile of zinc and woodworm leftovers in the shape of a sidecar from Fishguard yesterday. The charioteers amongst us probably saw it on ebay over xmas.

Hopefully it will suit the M21 when its done.

Post by: guest7 on December 31, 2010, 03:53:21 PM: I picked up a second Watsonian chassis for my Busmar chair just before christmas. My original chassis is complete but missing the little swing arm linkage that goes between the chassis and the wheel (the shock mounts to it too). I found another chassis, complete but minus wheel (which I have already) for £10.

After winning the Ebay auction I realised that Crediton in Devon is actually a fair distance away from my Cardiff house. I was discussing this with a chum of mine and he said "Hang about, my mate Pete is borrowing my LDV Convoy to take some stuff down to Dartmouth, he can pick it up on the way back"

It's always great when an Ebay plan comes together ;)

This is my back burner sidecar project. Before that I will be building an XBR/Velorex rig, running leading links and 16" comstars on the bike and chair (with a 20mm spindle conversion on the chair)

GC, welcome back to the land of the riding.

I have never chips disappear that quickly before when we stopped off at the pub on the XT rideout at Hay-on Wye. :o :o :o :o
