Exclamation DD Bike Needed for the MCN London ExCeL Bike Show!
Guys,

We need a bike to display on the club stand at the MCN London Bike Show at ExCeL in London Docklands.

We've had a couple of offers (thanks to those!) but given the distance to cover it would be great if we could get someone a bit nearer to loan their bike for the 4 days.

The stand will be manned at all times and it will be displayed behind ropes, so all we need is the bike and a paddock stand.

If you're relatively close to London / M25 then please get in touch with me via a PM - we're offering a free ticket for anyone that can lend us a bike, and I'll even chuck in a DSC t-shirt as well!

Thanks!

I'd rather die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather,
than screaming in terror like his passengers.- Jim Harkins

I appreciate the sentiment but I don't think it would make a good advert for the series, even though it may be an accurate representation...

What about your mate from round the corner - did/is he building a DD bike?

may be able to help with logistics...depending when bike needed. Can at least get it south into M25 if not to venue - I'll be in Cov over the next two weeks and am in London at least once a week at the mo

My bike isn't ready so no good having mine, then again home paint job so defo not worth having mine!

Thanks guys - it seems the majority are being rebuilt at the moment so getting one that's complete and not a logistical nightmare to get to the ExCeL is a real problem!
Hopefully if we can get something sorted between Ghostie and Bradders we might be in luck...

Way too much gravel rash. It has a new home also.
