6 Weeks have gone by. I'm a little older, a little wiser and I'm starting to grow hair in some really weird places.
Well the last part isn't true luckily... BUT I am starting to grow herbs in some really well ventilated places.
No shit. At Stamford Works we've planted a herb garden complete with "Lemon Thyme", "Rosemary Barbecue" and "Jalapeño Peppers". I'm fully aware Jalapeño Peppers aren't a herb but on the other hand I also have my doubts on the legitimacy of "Rosemary Barbecue", so let's not get too picky or we might just not water them enough and let them die of neglect completely purposefully like we did the last lot.
But enough of my horti-fucking-culturalism, we've got Doves to parade.
Numero Uno is Carrera Quattro Comp. A magnificent Single Speed, this has both a Reynolds 531 frame and forks. A total beast of a city beater, it's strong, light and brutal.
The second up is the Raleigh Aerospace Contour. A fresh Single Speed conversion, this has NEW wheels, NEW cranks, NEW saddle, in fact NEW everything except the beautiful frame which has been freshened up for a NEW lease of life.
This unidentified frame is a bit of an enigma in that it's silver and that's pretty much all we know about it. We DO know it's made from good stuff as it has a Reynolds 453 sticker on it's frame but apart from that, one year ago it could have been tricking on the mean streets of South Central L.A for all we know.
Patrick "Prime Number" McCarthy and I both agree that our bottoms have never felt so good as when we sit on this here bike. Seriously, the saddle feels like it was made for a Queen. We called Buckingham Palace to ask for confirmation on the veracity of these bold claims we found ourselves making but they couldn't help us. They did said they could send round Pippa Middleton so we could test it on her apple-bum and wished us the best of British luck.
Continuing the Aristocratic tone, right here we have "The Duke". This little stunner is British made by a company called Santana (Doesn't sound very British does it?). Yep, you guessed it, it's Single Speed and coming to a fox hunt near you.
Our website will also be ready very soon. Dalstondoves.co.uk is about to be set free.
Beano. Xx

Looking at the names of the contents of your herb garden I am bound to ask whether you planted these grains out of foil envelopes or out of glass jars with "Schwarz" on the labels. Hmm?
ReplyDeleteThese are bonafide herblings from the local nursery...
