Joe Papasnap Maher Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Edit: Reading through I think the raffle idea is awesome. Say £5 a ticket and when you've sold enough to pay for a bike (say £1000 or so) pull out the winner and invite them to come build themselves a bike. would be KOOL!Make it happenThat is an awesome idea. It Really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad your opening monday.I havnt been there that long, so I am still learning all the prices and facts about the parts, I also need to learn how to do payments, once I do I will be answering the phones too.

Dan6061 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 (edited) I'd always imagined you with some massive 'Tartybikes' sign out the front. Get one. Place looks awesome.

Simon Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Seriously, super props for getting so far.I remember when you was building rims for a tenner in your spare time, to having a wheel building site, and now to this with all the steps in between. Major respect for you guys trying to make it, and succeeding. Looks super awesome and very professionally laid out and stuff, good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 (edited) Looks awesome guys, the brake spares area seems very well organised. (I suppose it has to be)Thing with the raffle is someone who can afford a really nice bike could win, would be nice to see someone who cant win.EDIT: Thats not just a 'give me a free bike please' thing btw (although that would be sehr gut) Edited May 19, 2007 by Has anyone seen my shoe?

Clarky Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Haha, we actually have a shopping trolley that Ali C and Iolo are 'restoring'... I'll get some pics when its done The woodwork was done by myself and one of the local riders Gav, with a bit of help from my girlfriend. Took quite a while, we also had a set of stairs to make (which I got knocked down after being shocked by the mains electric, oops - some mong left live wires up there ) which you can't see in any of the pictures. CheersAdsAwsome looks good job, poor lad put a claim in lol see you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact why not leave the webcam on all the time, where the pics are that show the whole place up on that balcony thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spode@thinkbikes Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Looking awesome guys - and thanks for pulling all the stops out to help us too, despite being up to your neck in stock (and I don't mean the cooking kind...)Maybe you should make the raffle a paid one. Everyone sticks in a quid and the winner gets +25% in credit at Tarty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
