More bike dray

I was going to put up a full spec of this bike but pictures are so much better.....



Oh i do love a bit of shiney metal!
Cheers JK

Dray but not as you know it.....

Well all breweries need a dray. OK a dray is a vehicle which is used to deliver beer. The name is a kick back to when horse use to pull carts. Over the last centre it has mainly been vans and trucks. But now for i believe the first time in a long time, a brewery will be using a bicycle as a dray.
So i'd like to introduce the BlackBar brewery dray bike
This is a custom build which i have done specifically for the brewery and the job of delivering beer within five miles of the brewery and the City of Cambridge. I'd like to thank the following people.
Llyod, Pat and Stu at ID for the Surlygusset parts and the chats and banter that always comes with working with them. 
Mark from Madison for all the lovely Shimano drive chain and brakes.
Also thanks to all the team at Station cycles for the support over the last ten months and helping me finish this build.
So for now this is the bike, if you see me around Cambridge say hello and join me for a pint were ever you see it parked. There is more to come but i don't want to show the finished and full dray bike and trailer till its all ready.
Well cheers for now JK

At last.....

On the morning of Thursday 29th September 2011 BlackBar brewery was offically....
that's right people BlackBar has been given planning permission to go ahead to its all go. Apologise for not updating this earlier but Friday was spent in the brewery (its amazing to be able to say that) waiting for the electrician to remove some old electrics. Then the weekend was spent seeing friends and working. But there is more to follow.......
