Harry Palmer For Sale

Regrettably, due to space issues I am having to sell my beautiful custom fixie.

Beautifully lugged fixie with flip flop hub. Vintage frame with custom butterscotch colour

– bar end front and rear brakes 

– brooks bar tape 

– soma major taylor bars

– Brev M saddle 

– leather strapped pedals Slight damage to left pedal. 

Not sure on frame size, I am 6'2 and it's a little small for me. My lovely wife rides it occasionally and she is 5'8 – probably perfect for anyone between that and 6 foot. 

**NOTE** There are decals on there of my own custom design, but they come off easily with no marks left!!

Manchester Gloom

The quiet greyness that greeted us on Sunday morning gave the city a beautifully understated charm. Manchester's architectural evolution creates so many vignettes – invited to peer down every alley or street the negative space delivers wonderfully framed highlights of the city's old and new stone and glass masterpieces. I decided to admire them with my eyes rather than through a viewfinder, so you'll just have to go there yourself to benefit.

Here's a couple of snaps to whet the appetite.

Working Nights

My eyes were blurred and focus

evaded me 

momentarily

long enough for me

to fall helplessly

from my window.

In future I'll remain in my bed

when a noise 

annoys

and toys

with my curiosity.

Working nights is bad for your health

I find myself moping

not sleeping, but dopey

and stumbling

and groping

for a window left open.

Christmas Jumper

It's not ok to thump her

Because of her ironic Xmas jumper

She got a lump of

coal she

got some Noddy Holder

and Roy Wood

when he was in The Move
