J.KYDD Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Grab yourself some pallets first. They are easily moveable and can be modified to make any number of differing obstacles. The rest of the stuff is often more difficult to source and move but i'l put a little list Concrete pipes Rail sleepers Empty wire spools/cotton reels Tractor/lorry tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topsy Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 May I ask where you get you pallets from? I don't suppose you pay 100£ for 5 pallets or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 May I ask where you get you pallets from? I don't suppose you pay 100£ for 5 pallets or? Beg, borrow or steal. Well, maybe not borrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Guess I'll go for the begging. Stealing pallets probably isn't fun on foot .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick them, have a look for any houses around with a skip, especially if they are having work done on them. just have a look around your neighbourhood, helps if it's at about 5 o'clock as no will be around to ask what you're doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Scaife Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Industrial estates are good for pallets, always plenty left outside over the weekend or at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Yeah go to Industrial Estates and ask the guys working at Goods In at any old factory - chances are they'll let you have 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 No.... Yes... If you get told no, then you're not asking nice enough. Or just move on to the next one - there's always plenty of places to get pallets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renaud.Phil Posted October 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Care to elaborate on that ultra-helpful response? The elaboration to my response is that I think you should post this bike up in the buy/sell area of this site, hens the trials park area.

MadManMike Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Ah, I assume you mean the link in my signature? In which case, click it and see where it's posted. I won't sell to any new members, so fear not, I'm not breaking the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOLES Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 luckily enough for me i have found a local company who burn all their old pallets, who are being kind enough to just let me take as many as i want just need to clear out the unit now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarf Shortage Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 The ad for the bike was in his signature (sig), a space that every user has which is there for people to write whatever they choose (providing it follows the guidelines). A person's sig appears with their information, in every post they make. He chose to advertise a bike in his sig, he wasn't offering you a bike. Baha.
