ssiri Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Shame about what happened to Cavendish....and also the shadow cast by Lance Armstrong. Wiggins is also now getting sucked into the fray, worrying.

Bob Mansell had a shop at 504 Oldbury Road, Smethwick. He also had a shop in the main street Smethwick for a while, but mostly selling children’s bikes and toys. Bob was a top coach, and he promoted races around the parks and schools in the Birmingham area. He also took groups of school children on cycle racing camps near Stourport. Lots of the region’s top riders were helped along by Bob at sometime or other. I remember riding up from Ross on Wye and riding criteriums around Hadley Stadium, with Grant Thomas plus several other well known riders. https://majornichols.co.uk/the-riders-room/ I used to have a carlton criterium cycle dark blue skinny tubes and a saddle my arse never thanked me for. bloody hell , these are all my work areas . I have been in Stourbridge this morning ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was it he used to say......"in our house.....its the potatoes we eat" I didn't realise potatoes was a pseudonym for EPO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
