Workshop Closure
As of 1st of April the workshop on Shacklewell lane will be closing.

I am currently looking for somewhere else.. if any body knows of anything please get in touch.
Thanks for all the support

Just got hold of..
A few books and some tshirts from Microcosm Publishing in America. Including the Chainbreaker book, a really nicely put together collection of bike how to's and stories. Would make the perfect christmas present!

Team Awesome Day!
Things are currently in full prep for this. Lot's of designing and prize making going on.
Come down
THIS SATURDAY!!!!!!
Team Totally Awesome are having a day of drinking and games to convince all you all to be more awesome.
It'll be on the fifteenth of november, in London Fields and will include:
The Great Big Fluffy Cat
a race for people who don't race, a race for people who do race but have NEVER won.
Track Stand Stare Down
A track stand competition and a staring contest all in one. First to blink or put a foot down looses, winner moves on to the next round
The 6 For A Fiver, Mate
Can you say team beer sprints? I knew you could! You will need to form a team of three for this, so start practising your chugging and riding skills with your two best mates.
The House Of Pistard Sanctioned Skid Skittles
word has it you might want to bring a bucket of water with you.
Meet at london fields at one, it'll be a jam packed day of AWESOMENESS!!!!
Prizes will be by TEAM TOTALLY AWESOME, because corporate sponsorship isn't awesome. Although you should buy everything that House of Pistard has ever made, cause it's cool and it keeps Xander off the streets and away from small children.
It's £5 for a whole day of fun, plus we'll hole up in a bar somewhere after (a bar with kareoke, hopefully!) after. Don't forget it's £10 for ADBC members, due to their general lack of awesomeness.
See you there!

New Frame!
My new frame is nearly here.
It is a low profile frame, nice and tight rear end made from columbus tubing. It is being built by Max at MonkeyHouse.
More info on Max's frames soon, but expect something very different to the norm and all from a workshop in East London.

Polo Bikes!!
I have about 8 mountain bike frames, handlebars, cheap cranks etc for possible polo bike conversion.
There are also a load of random wheels to go with the bikes, 26" of course. Though the condition of those are far from good, stripped axles, bent rims and broken spokes etc.
I tried a few out and it appears that most of them have clearance for 700c wheels with tyres.
So if you have a polo wheelset, plug that in, add a chain and you are pretty much set to go.
These are all the remnants of xsheepx's bulk ebay buy a few months ago.
We have finally got sick of seeing them in the back yard (well actually about two months ago) so they are free to a good home, bad home, any home, we don't really give a crap.
The remaining bikes will probably go to Max for all his bikepunx projects... tall bikes etc etc.
Soooo first come first served
i am here tonight and tomorrow. Might make a quick conversion before the polo tournament.

Its Happening...
The Hub Cycles will be moving out of the backyard and into a workshop; sharing the space with a custom frame builder.
The workshop is still on Shacklewell Lane, just down the alley way by the west indian restaurant and take away chicken shop. Unit Three.
Hopefully everything will be set up by the end of August.
I will be there on a part time basis at weekends and Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Photos will be up as soon as it is all sorted out.
