__________.jpg) Well done Keith!
|
|
 Bravo chap :-)
|
|
Totally agree with the first message. It must take some guts to give up a regular pay cheque.
I like the idea of getting the chance to buy a workshop's worth of tools at trade though...

 Good one Horace
Can someone let us know the shop name?
|
|
 There was a thread about choosing the name IIRC. But deep in the bowels of the SloBoy trivia archive, we find this ! Horace, is that you ?
|
|
 Good story and good luck.
|
|
 Nice one Horace,hope you do well with the business.Shame you're not nearer me,but if I'm down that way I'll pop in.
|
|
 Top effort. Hope all continues well into the future
|
|
 Well done and thanks for letting us know.
So it is possible.... hmmmmmm...

Interested to read you have sourced Corratec bikes. A work colleague of mine has a Superbow Hardtail. The one with the two top tubes. It's very light.
To the future - raise glass.

 Well done !! Being a corporate monkey I cant help but agree with message 1.
You are most probabley living alot of BM members dream.
|

 You may be doing something that rewards you, but as a family man with responsibilities to your wife and child was it not rather irresponsible to put yourself in a position whereby your employer could fire you.

 Looks like Horace is just down the road from me and will be getting my custom, I feel i have to support the smaller shops in Southampton, hopefully they will have a better attitude than the larger ones.
|
|
 i'l have to have alook there, and waste some money there too
also the ride look promising, as i can't find anyone near me...
|
|
 Escaping the daily grind... Your life, Your Dreams... Let us know the name of the shop dude...Well done...
