Title: Thumper demise?
Post by: guest987 on April 11, 2010, 12:15:27 PM
Went to the cafe this morning to be told that the Thumper club is being wound up.

Seems healthy enough.

I would suggest that some one has got the wrong end of the stick. However............. ???

 A choice piece of mischief making if ever I saw one Rob, Mark seems to have the answer to hand, but why GC would have told Llandow Classics that I do not know, they were both as surprised at what he said, as you would appear to be. They do their own wheel building Jethro, their problems lie with the same company your "Cheese Town" man has problems with, C***tral Wheels.

Sorry to wander but....



....I used hagon for the wheels on the project and thought they were great. Good advice, very accomodating, quick and not too pricey.

Aye Pat,

Think I'll stick with a reputable supplier, whom I've dealt with afore. Also puts a lot of time and effort into the sport as well.

I trust you are well?

regards, Bill.

Cheers bill. Well and dandy matey (apart from a mild dose of Man Flu which is just passing). The reason for my recent absence is I'm heavily into the beginnings of a kitchen extension. 2010 is going to be a quiet bikey time for me I'm afraid as all my time/energy/money is being ploughed into bricks and mortar.

Think of me as you merrily pootle over those endless Scottish hills  :'(
