Long live escapism (Sunday rides in the sunshine).

Concorde- For Sale- SOLD

Brand new in, arrived only this week, fresh from the continent,

The Concorde

Its my size

Its my size

Its my size

How mint is this saddle? Its my size.

Its my size.

This bike is the perfect size for me and I really like it. It probably won’t fit anyone else, if you really want to come in and have a butchers then do, but I doubt it will fit anyone, as I said it is my size and I am a really rare size.

Sale price £100,000

Rob: ‘weird that no one has inquired about the Concorde, it’s a great looking bike’

Me: ‘yes, how odd. I can see you are struggling to shift it. How much will you let me take it off your hands for?’

I have it in black and white

I don’t know if you know, but when you have a website or blog you can see which things people are looking at the most. You can see what things people have typed into their search engine to get to you. I had a nosey earlier at the site stats. I thought it might be quite interesting.

I was not surprised to see the Hetchins is the most viewed bike. People go wild for the curly little blighters and people abroad tend to be keen on them as they are quintessentially English.

Headbadge and luscious lugs

I won’t spill the beans on what else has been super popular, because it’s top secret stuff, but I can tell you, I now know your dirty little secrets.

Amongst the top 3 images viewed on this blog are 2 of ladies and their cycles.

People always say  that sex sells, and my mum always told me that men are of a simple sort, that they often think with what’s between their legs, not between their ears.

Well the proof is in the pudding isn’t it? I have the figures in black and white before my very own eyes.

I have popped an image below of some ladies running, to help content all the simple souls viewing.

Dreamy ladies

Clement Fraud- Joke

Rob was beside himself with a laughter over this clip.

I personally did not think it was that funny. Mildly amusing, yes, but doubled over in laughter amusing? Most definitely not.

This is what my face looked like after Rob showed me the joke

Pursuit in French

Sounds nice in French doesn’t it?

I love the french language. A lot of English people don’t like the French. People say Parisians are rude. I have been to Paris quite a few times, and other parts of France and no one has ever been rude to me. In fact I was by far ruder. I reckon I beat them at their own game.

It’s a Lo Pro bro – For Sale

Shine like gold, buzz like a bee

Sting like a bee

It's a D-I-S-C yo, it's a D-I-S-C yo

Please release me, let me go,

Don't stop me now, cos I'm having such a good time, I'm havin' a ball

Handbuilt for an ex time trial (ist) up in Manchester this is a nice little bike.

Built using Reynolds 531 speed stream tubing, especially developed for track and time trial builds.

I haven’t ridden this bike, I have ridden lo pro’s before though, obviously mint for sprint, a killer for super long distance. Could be a nice bike for someone who races or someone who canes it around town.

We are selling the frame and wheels separately.

Frame is going for 210 smackeroonies….

Rear wheel is £150, the front wheel is £75.

Come on down or get in touch, rob@sargentandco.com

Unicycle

Bet you want one don't you?

Rob was downstairs.

I was upstairs.

The shop door opened. I turned my head. I could see a giant wheel.

‘Is their a giant man outside?’ I thought. It wasn’t out of the realm of possibility. I have met very tall people before. I used to work next door to an ex holder of Britain’s tallest man title, Richard Creme.

But alas we weren’t being visited by a tall man with a custom built bike. We were being visited by a bloke on a disc brake unicycle. He needed a new bell.

We sold him a bell.

‘Why?’ I asked, pointing to the one wheeled machine. He had countless reasons, he had a unicycle when he was small, he likes to be seen on the road, the list goes on.

And off and away he went.

Good bye Mr Unicyle man
