FS : Any body local to bradford want a cheap nice bike

[Adam Porter]

Hi, first of all, sorry for the amazingly **** subject wording ;o)

I am moving home next week and cannot find a place for my road bike. It is a short wheelbase 531
tubed Woodrup. 21" frame with 21" top tube.

I bought it 12 years ago and Woodrups confirmed it is genuine and about 1971 ish. It is deep blue in
colour with white outlines on the weld gussets. Looks very nice when polished ;o).

I suspect it was a custom build or sprint bike originally, as the wheelbase is small and my toes
catch the front wheel if turning at walking pace. This hasn't been a problem as in reality you don't
cycle that slow, but it has to remembered at traffic lights etc. It does make for a very responsive
take up though.

The drivetrain is mostly galli, which I believe was a very nice 'copy' of campag stuff of that era.
The exception is the cassette, which I swapped for a close ratio block some years ago, when I was
able to ride it fast enough to use...doh...

The rear rim is a mavic GP4, and the front is a Durex !! , both with tubeless tires.

It has been sat doing nothing for ages as I am now into MTB's, and it needs a little tlc to get it
back to a1 condition. It is very rideable as it is though, and if you are in the Bradford/Leeds area
(near chain bar roundabout), and willing to come and pick it up before Monday (Or else it goes into
storage) , it is going for £90 or very nearest offer.

I can send pics if required.

Cheers,

Adam.

We don't deal in pounds sterling in this group. URC currency is the Toblerone.

I'll open with a bid of six chunks.

Is Chain Bar J26 on the M62, where the M606 is ? If so I regularly go round it from the A??? to the
A??? in other words from the road after the M62 West slip to the road between the M62 East slip and
the M606 slip. Usually on a Sunday morning when traffic is light. There is only one hairy bit and
thats crossing the entrance to the M62 East slip, I tend to move to the right of the left hand lane
asap to give vehicles a chance to pass on my left to get on to the slip road.

I must say though of late I have taken an alternative through Heckmondwike (I think) to avoid not
the junction but the horrible false flat that goes away from it past the nursery to the village with
the Esso garage.

I live in Morley and most of my rides take me West through Elland and Brighouse.

Sorry to be so vague but I don't have a map to check the names/numbers.

I guess thats the A58. I use the other route through Cleckheaton and Scholes as its a bit of a drag
on the A58. My routes a makes me grunt a bit but the traffics not as fast, people drive on the dual
carrigeway bit of the A58 as if its a motorway. Once a get my sprint going i'll have a bash at
chainbar from the Halifax end.

I have not been that way since the road works started but the road I used to use is the A58 both
before and after the interchange. I presume the roadworks are responsible for the tailbacks to
J27/28 which is where I exit on my way home from work !

In a month or so when I'm fit enough to hit those hills I'll be out that way, I'm really surprised
how few cyclists I see at weekends around there.

My alternative route (to avoid Chain Bar) is to turn left in Hunsworth, straight across the cross
roads (near Clemos) up the hill (under the disused railway), right at the top, across the M62, left
in Scholes, right then left onto the A643 to Brighouse. Coming home I nearly always leave Brighouse
towards Junction 25, then onto Cooper Bridge and home on the A62.

That ain't no disused railway that is de famous Spen valley Greenway, part of Sustrans NCN 66.

Number 14 in the Independent survey recently.

If you want to see cyclists on a SUnday come out for a ride with Ravensthorpe CC, or visit the club
