It must be as I can't see any mucky chain!

Come on Braz, now you can put pictures up on here, could you please shove a bigger one on so we can see this handsome chappy a little better?

Maybe people could see where you took this picture?

Mick, good morning - sorry about the personal pic, hope that you are not embarrassed to be unmasked.

I've found something on this box called Microsoft Picture Editor- I had it all the time and did'nt know - and by reducing the number of my pixels I can now upload pictures to this Forum. What I dont yet know is how many pixels equal 256 thingummys - which seems to be the max upload limit. Told you that I was technical.

I recently found this pic of a bent Mercian, and wondered if it was from your Solicitor's files? Not sure how large it will come out, and it's a bit dark as well.

Anyway - apologies once again for taking your image in vain. (I'll be glad when this flu gets better and I can stop being so silly to amuse myself!). It's a real swine, I can tell you!

regards, Braz.

I've had my suspicions for a while and seeing this picture of a relatively unchanged Mick from over 100 years ago confirms it.

Mick is a vampire.

Christopher Lee?

Isn't he dead?
Wasn't he nighted at night?
Didn't someone drive a steak through his heart?
Or was it a chop?
Did he have chips with it?
And onion rings?
Or was it garlic?

Wasn't me guv.

I don't think the Mercian belonged to Mick...the chain looks dirty!
Just Rob please.

Top picture must be Mick's Chopper project. I was wondering how he'd got the front derailleur to fit. :lol:

Hey!
Don't talk to me about Front Derailleurs on a Chopper!

A mate gave me a complete Triple 5sp MTB so I could rabbit the bits off, Chris667 sent me a double chainset and the front mech.

I reckon that Raleigh Choppers need "Digital Shifting" (as described on another thread!) because the chainstay, seat tube and the position of the BB just don't allow for Simplex/Shimano systems!

I'm back at the Drawing-Board stage at the mo, but Digital Shifting might be the only option.

I used to think a chopper was the tackle a man had - maybe I'm wrong...? :shock: :roll:
