You're right, I've just undone one and the lip on the pipe extrudes out of the block so it's pressing against that.

Stripped the rear end of to start the process of changing the chain to belt drive. Really surprised that the swing arm bolt did not give me any problem after being on for approaching 15 years since new and I have had it for 14 of those years and 43k miles.

Cleaned a few bits and started to scrape, rub, wire brush and grind down the swing arm.

It should go without saying the best Abba song has to be Tiger! :D   I don't think they did one called Daytona.

 

Obviously I am the only one in here old enough to recall going to the pictures to letch at a certain blonde's rear.

Cake looks lovely chris! Nice one! 

 

I was messaging a guy off ebay this morning about an Abba Stand. He's got one for sale a week old. Starting bid was £60 so i offered him £70 n ill collect today. He said £75 n i can have it.. which i thought was abit pedantic, for a fiver. 

 

So i told him to forget it, as they're £92 new, delivered to my door (hes about an hour and a half each way from me). He said he cant lose £22 in a week on something. 

 

 

So i ordered a new one. 

 

He's literally just mailed me back after i've ordered one, saying he will accept £70 if i collect today. 

 

 

LOL. Too late.. that'll teach him for being fussy over a fiver.

OK I'll explain.... A bit obscure for you young un's I guess. The 7" and 12" refer to vinyl singles that were common years ago played at 45 rpm on a grammaphone :D .

 

Basically the 12" was the extended single which IIRC you paid more for so as anything to do with BM is a trousers down exercise and generally more expensive than other bikes that's where my warped sense of humour had strayed to....

Hey I am posh Ade I will have you know.  I have two trumpets!  Sherlocks in Whitby.  The best carrot cake I have ever found and I have tried a few.  Well actually there is a place in Richmond North Yorks that have carrot cake that has 3 layers rather than this 2 so maybe that is best.

 

So did you used to buy the singles that had been in a juke box and you had to get an adaptor to put in the centre so you could play them on your Dansette?

Have to say I'm not a cake man but I can be persuaded when it comes to Carrot cake. The BIL was a copper and used to have his 'regular' stop off at the local bakery when on nights, then there was the chineese etc.etc. Hmmm vinyl, now that would be telling....the little triangular ones that clipped in the hole or the one you put over the centre of the turntable???? I spent many an hour in our local record shop during the late 60's and early 70's BUT it had NOTHING to do with the gorgeous girl behind the counter of course. I remember rushing to get the latest singles that had just been released straight after school before they sold out and building crystal sets to listen to Radio Caroline......Then I got a job and CDs came out in the mid 80's....now I'm retired...we all know what comes next!
