    There's a bike on eBay that Mrs Eddie likes the look of, but it's a bit
    far away for us to pop down and inspect it.

    Does anybody live in Hampshire (specifically, near Alton) that could
    have a look at it this weekend?

    Of course, we'd still have to work out how to collect it. How much do
    those bike transport firms charge for a ~300 mile delivery?

    It's about 35 miles away from me - might be able look Sunday morning if
    no-one else can.

    Paging Nige re the transportation, I think he said it's about 100 quid?
    Bikemovers IIRC.

    I could do with it UR'd along the M62 to Bruce's (YTC's) ideally. I'm
    coming north on the M6 next Tuesday.

    I'll put a call out ...

    Cheers,

    Paul.

    Cheers, emailed.
    Ah, that's the one. Pity they don't give any sample quotes without going
    through the whole quote process with all details.

    That's not too bad, I reckon.

    She might be able to pick it up herself next week, and get it as far as
    Newport Pagnell, then we'll get it up here sometime over the next few
    months.

    Ta. We thought you might be down there, but couldn't remember which side
    of the Irish Sea you're on at the moment.

    If they're not, Mrs WUN may be.

    I'm expecting the steel to make your dogbones to arrive this week, BTW.

    Ah, cool. You'll have to remind me of your address. [1]
    That's super. I'm currently fettling the front (fork seals done and
    forks back on), but the rear will be next.

    Cheers,

    Paul.

    [1] Though, I did drive through your fair town a few weeks ago, en
    route to intersecting with T i m with TMack's panniers ..

    I recently used a different one, they where cheaper than bike movers & give
    you a quote on the phone. At that kind of distance I reckon about £150.

    Here's his details, decent lot & the right price.
