Spotted In Norwich

Black fixed on the overpass by Anglia square about two hours ago. @laurenced?

@Rikki I did come down through Anglia Square last night, not on the over pass though!

Rode past a guy on a white fixed outside Pilch Sport, think he said 'nice bike' to my mate aha

Guessing it wasn't you then!

Tall guy pushing a blue fixed thing with chunky forks about a foot of seatpost down from Vue towards The Bell about an hour ago.

A black fixed bike. says single speed on the frame but has tru fix kru decals on back, front and sides? Interesting tyre choices also, deep rims with 35c?

re. the Castle mall frankenbike, it's mine! Thross (and others) we've met-I guess you might've figured that out now. The Sunday DH ride Straggler is mine too, and I was atop it. In my defence as a hero-never-to-be-met, I did once have Gandalf rivalling beard and waist length hair, but I swapped them for two kids and a morgage...

Fantastic first post Bob. Good to run into you earlier too; hopefully the DH rides will continue in a couple of weeks time. Now change your username so we all know who you are!

Also, spotted a guy on what looked like a ratty Pre-Cursa, pursuit bars, either a gumwall or an orange front tyre, messenger bag, riding round the roundabout at the top of Unthank/Earlham at 8.50 this morn. Was going to DAS, but I hadn't filtered, so got cold feet shouting from behind a couple of cars.

"was going to DAS.." seems to be quite a common thing with you. Go for it! Do people actually ever shout it anywhere, or just think about it and post on the internet? Ive never shouted it at anyone..

I think I'd do it if I saw someone I recognised and knew I was in earshot, but that's unlikely in Norwich! I could count on one hand the amount of times I've chanced upon someone who I knows rides fixed out and about on their bike...

I've had it shouted at me by @laurenced once, but sadly not in time to react :(

I've gone to do it a few times and then thought, likelihood is that these guys have no idea what LFGSS is and I'm going to look very NFN.

Ahaha, yeah, and there's that too.

Next time I see you, I'm going to shout it at you even if you're not on your bike!!

You see, dreams do come true

@thross

It could have been such a magical moment @thross!

I don't think I would ever shout it at someone I didn't know, shouting at people in motion usually sounds like abuse..

Anyone want to explain the meaning of the verb 'to DAS' ?

DAS:
Acronym, verb. A call from one bicyclist to another, imploring them to To 'Do A Skid' by the locking of the legs on their fixed wheel bicycle, and therefore proving their worth as a true fixie lord.
Colloquial. Also used as a general greeting between riders of the fixed gear clique, most notably/frequently within the boundaries of London's famous London.

Also spotted @liljimmy being very good and not jumping the lights coming from Castle Meadow onto Red Lion Street yesterday - I vageuly waved, but I don't think you saw me :(

white cinelli mash locked up outside the mix on unthank the other day?

Mash is Harbercue's, not sure if he made the vBulletin jump...

Does spotted count if it was only the persons car?!

If so, just spotted @Rikki!

Ha! Sarah just said "does he just sit and stare out the window all day?" We're on to you..

Hahahaha!! I just happened to look up as you went round the roundabout...cheeky sod!

Anyway, if I get paid to look out of the window all day, who's winning?!

Totally true!

That wasn't meant to sound as arrogant as it did!!

Are you going to the DH open eve / exhibition on Tues?
