      <title>[VV cycling classifieds] Pashley Tri-1 Trike for sale</title>
      <link>http://www.velovision.com/forum-new/read.php?4,10385,10385#msg-10385</link>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi, I'm really sorry to join the forum, just to post a classified......One of your other members suggested that I do as the above trike may be of interest to some of your members.

It's the folding version in red (although not candy red) as listed on the website for £715......It is a gently used example and is in good overall condition.I am looking for around £200 for this one, although finding a needy buyer is more important to me......please don't buy this if you are a dealer looking to make a few quid.

[IMG]http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad131/stedlocks/9233698d.jpg[/IMG]

Any questions, you can contact me through the pm system if you want, or reply here and I'll happily do my best to answer.
As it folds, it should be able to fit in a normal car? If not, I can help with delivery if local for free, but would ask for some diesel money if further afield.......within reason!!

Thanks for looking :o)]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Well, still two days to go on the auction... 

Then again it's not as if you lot are about to rush off and bid against me... I hope!

It's a servo motor for the CNC milling machine I've been attempting to build for about the last five years... well actually it's been more like 'gathering parts for' rather than 'building' as such - just not had the time to make all that much progress... though it's pretty much designed in my head ready to build when time allows.

Anyway I struck it lucky on eBay early last year and got a servo motor and two matching drive systems very very cheap (seller had specified local pickup only, which cut down the bidders I think), and I've been looking for a second motor ever since. It's quite an obsolete and obscure brand so spare motors are pretty rare, hence the need to act when one came up in Germany. 

Most DIY CNC machines use stepper motors and indeed I've got a set of steppers mostly set up. Servos are better in various ways but if you buy them any way except bargain hunting on eBay they're just completely unaffordable...

The cycling connection is that the CNC machine might eventually, if I ever finish it, be used to make bike bits :-)]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Um, I wonder if I could make a cheeky request for a favour from someone resident in Germany?

I've just noticed that a rather obscure part which I've been seeking for ages has come up on ebay.de, but the seller doesn't want to send it to anywhere except Germany...

It would be most helpful if a brave volunteer could buy it for me, then send it over to the UK - of course all costs will be paid by me... if you had Paypal for easy transfers that would be convenient but not essential...

It's at just 99 cents (so far) so I hope it'll be quite cheap... there are just over 4 days to go on the auction... 

If anyone could help it would be much appreciated! Maybe send me a PM or email (peter at velovision.com) and we can talk about the details? Thanks!

PS I'll tell people what it is after it's been won (or not)...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Castle Acre was an independent hostel last time I looked...
http://www.independenthostelguide.com/selected-accommodation.php?hostel=old+red+lion+&amp;area=65&amp;s=1&amp;t=castle%20acre
Not sure about the pricing tho... maybe I'm just too used to camping prices.

      <description><![CDATA[Ages ago I did tour of Norfolk staying in Youth Hostels from Hunstanton to Great Yarmouth to Blaxhall to  somewhere thats closed to Castle Arce that closed tp Thurby.

Some of the YH's have shut to be replaced by city hostels/

That was great. In the summer before working in Old Hall School.

      <description><![CDATA[I never got on with them either, though not sure if it was the short or long version I tried. And ISTR they don't work well unless you have a bit of depth to the arms of your (prescription) glasses - I may have still had very thin springy titanium ones at the time, with arms more like wires than flat plates. Current glasses might be a bit better. Pretty sure I still have the mirror somewhere, must try giving it another go...

Mostly just use Mirrycles nowadays...]]></description>
