Help with a wee Bike

Trying to get Emma sorted on her wee Bike kindly lent to Her by Gordon Lawrie. Problem is trying to find tubs for the bike 24" the only ones i can find are fifty quid. I am going to take the bike down to the Club on monday,maybe someone has a tub in a shed.
David Black started on this bike thirty years ago.

Hi Callum,

This sounds like the very same bike that Gordon kindly lent us for Lewis a wee while ago, when he started racing.

We found it impossible to get tubs in 24" despite loads of time trying, so it was eventually returned unused.

However, we may be able to help. Lewis's first racing bike, a 24"-wheel, 12-speed is now sitting in our bike shed, unused, as he has now outgrown it.

You're more than welcome to borrow it if you like, or we're open to offers if you'd like to purchase. It was only used for one season at the Tuesday League, plus a couple of local Tens. Excellent condition.

Regards,
Norrie & Moraig.

Hi
I am willing to buy that bike from you, gordons bike is great but your right the tyres are proving a nightmare i am in the middle of fixing the tubular. If you give me a price i am sure it will be fine, i am sorting this out for my brother so he will be fitting the bill Cheers the now Callum

Callum,

Have you tried looking at 24x1 wheelchair tyres ?

Sounds a bit daft but most of the main tyre manufacturers make them and there's plenty of choice - pretty cheap too, compared with bike tyres. Otherwise try Isla bikes, I think they may still do a 24".

Dave.
