red squirrel tales

By mmac

A bike?

"I found you an amazing bike" my friend said. "It'll need a wee bit of work but its a great bike" he said.

What I heard: "it'll need the chain cleaned, and I'll be cycling by the weekend"
What i saw: a frame.

Just a frame. A jolly nice frame, but a frame.

No wheels, tyres, inner tubes, No seat post, gears, seat- don't be silly! Oh but there were brakes. Brakes are important.
I'm putting a positive spin on it and loving how some folks see the potential more than others.
Thankfully friend and friends dad are bike geeks and just lying about their house was EVERY missing part we needed to see if it'll fit and go. (apart from a seat post which was found for a pound by the wonderful Phil at the wonderful Bike station)

I'm up for the challenge.
