Thumper demise?
« 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............. ???

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

Rob.

 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.

John

Here I go again!!

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?
