JUst saying hello

hi guys, I've been visiting the site for months as a guest and finally signed up. Been riding fixed for about 3-4 months after my MTB got nicked (blessing in disguise), Just wanted to say hi.

hi ras! what do ya ride?

Dont throw anything at me, 2007 langster (rust) with some mods, when I can get some money together would love to build my own from scratch (nice vintage frame)

I saw quite a few of those riding around. I prefer the grey/black ones myself but it does the job right?

it does indeed, preferred the black stealth look myself as well but was in Brixton cycles and had to leave with a bike that day, pissed off about the old bike getting nicked but the rust was all they had.

Are you the guy I saw in Deptford Strand yesterday, almost falling into the river? :D

No, wasnt me

just thought that i would join this thread as it seems quite relevant to me. I'm a newbie like ras.
I was getting annoyed with gears so tried SS, got the same as Ras, but mines a 61, great so far
You'll know its mine by the red bandanna by the seat tube lock (bot sure what it is exactly called) Havent yet made it to any rides but hope to at some point, feeling a bit daunted by the ridicule of my langster

so was it you I saw almost falling into the river in Deptford Strand?

Its still a pleasure to ride. I ended up using chain tugs, bullhorned the bars with a hacksaw, threw the back brake and stuck a new front one on, and ditched those reflectors, and put on some half decent pedals and clips I got used to the poo colour almost but every now and then I want to take a spray can to it, but i think i will save my money for my first build.

I want someone's old Langster..

what do you ride hippy? it must be something nicer than a langster.

Indeed, hippy's bike:

Nice ride.

ras what do you ride hippy? it must be something nicer than a langster.

just tape it up! i did on my flyer, mind you anyone with half a brain can still tell that its a flyer but at least i don't feel as much like an advert riding around...

maybe i'll wrap it in tubes

taping up a flyer is starting to be a stock thing so be warned it is still so obvious

if you want to try something different get brown electrical and get rid of "iz" so its special ed
