What bikes do you ride?

Hi all, I'm new here and am currently living in Melbourne. Moving back to the smoke in June.
This is my steed.

sorry about the brick wall....Oh and lowing the tone with a Langster.

I ride my only bike, a blue Fugi Dynamic 10, i found it and converted it to fixed last year, its done a 300 mile tour (as a fixi, been recovered from thives, lost its front wheel, surived a few moths courriering, and a trans atlantic flight.

david, i recognize that bike, see you at the next CM.

Here's mine. Basic 07 Pista

Grrrr, pesky photos...

You'd linked to the page the picture was on and not the picture... this works:

just built up my new bike and took it for a test ride:

Hey max look at this: caught you drinking on some blog (with seb):

hahha! that was at a book launch on charlotte road the other night

Yeah I was gonna come - but on crutches it's a pain.
I could have been the 3rd fakenger in the pic!

heh, drinking red stripe means you take fakengering seriously

that stuff = pig shit hangovers

big time.. but i work one day a week am i still a fakenger? like blade... he walks in sunlight and is still a vampire

no, you are a real courier, even if it's one day.

how do you manage one day a week?

that sounds too easy

oh sorry I didn't know you were couriering actually.
Apologies - you can wear your messenger bag with pride!

it's in house, not for a despatch company...

well I run errands by bike for the company I work for..
shit, I'm a fakefakenger

yorgo you coming down the snow tonight?

i take my portfolio around on my bike, yesterday i delivered some prints on my bike. thus doing couriers out of job so should i be vilified by couriers?
sometimes i am my own courier.
i have an account with a courier firm (don't use it much) so maybe i am just a customer wannabe fakenger?

i prefer to be somebody who just rides a bike (fixed) who happens to use a courier bag :-)

same as that man

I prefer to be somebody who uses a fixed gear bike, happens to use a courier bag, somehow ended up wearing rolled up jeans or camo shorts, by pure coincidence carries his big Kryptonite chain around my waist, and in a fortuitous manner sometimes drinks beers at a pub called the Duke Of York.

Next step: put my spoke cards in my rear wheel, add patches on my bag, wear a Campagnolo hat, and tie up my chain key around my wrist...

Hi new to this site,my bike a fuji track nice and simple, covered in plumbers lagging and gaffer tape for carting it up stairs and mud guards from halfords

i recently finished my first bike...what's the verdict?

I know the stem's funny, i want it to go deeper but i wouldn't have any of that, so i'm thinking of a saw off D.I.Y. job or just leave it?

Nice bike, if the bars/stem are comfy like that then just leave it. I'd get some toeclips for the pedals

this is a cool bike stefi. so far, i think gear is a little high for town (or maybe my legs are all weak after a week of no riding), but it's really comfy, love the amsterdam handlebars.

About the DIY saw thing, i think that kind of stem sort of flares out towards the top, preventing you getting it on further. Sawing off the bottom isn't going to get the stem in any deeper, it might make it unsafe. What i did a few years back was get some really abrasive sandpaper to try and get it the same circumference all the way to the top. It worked, but it took a lot of sanding. An electrical sander will probs do it in a couple o' mins.
