LondonFGSS-on-sea - Brighton fixies

pip Sadly there are no organised training sessions for the track, but you can get to Herne Hill quite easily on sats if you're serious.

I think they said they might try and do some in 2008, it would be nice. this year the sessions I did with them covered pretty much everything you need to know though.

pip They do have national champions (youth, masters etc) racing down there on some nights

A certain mr yates even came down this year, you might have been there that night pip?

anyway kelvin, i'll give you a race early one sunday morning. need to get used to cold weather riding again :(

i believe the national youth champion that races there is now a world champion... i've raced him, he's bloody quick. needless to say i lost...

I was really slow today have had the best part of a fortnight off riding with clinical lazy-arse-itis, so you'll easily beat me.

Out on the lash, so tommorow is not good for me but next sunday might be cool for a mini race meet.

andy i believe the national youth champion that races there is now a world champion... i've raced him, he's bloody quick. needless to say i lost...

yep, he is insanely quick. didn't get anywhere in the track standing this year, too busy winning for england elsewhere.

kelvin, not around next weekend but a weeknight or the weekend after dude.

Are andy, object17, richc and pip up for it at some point if we could grab a beer too... representing brighton so to speak

Afraid I've been living in London for 20ish months.
Still I suppose I'm representing Brighton whenever I'm seen (In my head at least).

Are any of you guys around on the 11th. We've got a social ride coming down from London so it seems sensible to see if we can arrange a hook up for lunch/beer etc.

it's my stag do night before but should be back, what state I'll be in I'm not too sure....

Hey Brighton Peeps,

Some of us will be riding down to say hello on Sunday the 11th - Meet yous on the foreshore?
FGSS Brighton Ride

We are leaving around 9 Sunday Morning, maybe we could all meet up for a drink?

Kelvin yeah that's gotta be one of the stepest in central brighton

I've been up that Albion Hill (fucking speedbumps don't help) on a 67" after riding down from London. I think I only made it cos I was desperate to get to my mate's place for some weed :)

yeah albion is much worse than southover. you obvivously got the grunt.

I got done over going up coldean lane, I'm completely out of shape.

So what time the convoy due in town?

Dunno really. In time for a late lunch maybe...

so any of you buying a immaculate track frame half an hour ago in the train station?

anyone know jonny, stompy, hippie, ma3k or bocka mobile number? fatboyralph was late in meeting them and is now trying to catch up with them. hes now at gatwick airport on his way to brighton.

Ok it looks like i might end up moving to Brighton this February...
so i might see you there ;)

seems to be quite a lot of activity from brighton people which seems nice, im guessing my bike has been spotted as one of the chrome bikes on the list at the start of the page. yes there is an accountant that has a fixedwheel, its a felt i do believe, the last time i saw it it was all black with green rear rim and grips.

Lewis from Lewes seems to be quite a lot of activity from brighton people which seems nice, im guessing my bike has been spotted as one of the chrome bikes on the list at the start of the page. yes there is an accountant that has a fixedwheel, its a felt i do believe, the last time i saw it it was all black with green rear rim and grips.

hey lewis, chrome pista without stickers I presume?? i think you but a bottom bracket in a holdsworth for me a few months ago ;)

yes, im guessing that your fixed project worked out then...

any of the brighton lot going on any rides soon??

Any idea on a route? I've lots of time off over Chritmas so would be happy to come back to Brighton for a ride.

I'm out most weeks, over the beacon and then around the countrylanes. day time rides.

or messing about in town at night is always fun??

lots of routs to choose from, just depends on the weather! haha! yeah could get a few people together for a spin, actually put some names to faces/bikes!

also on a interesting and geek note, what ratios are people running?? depends on where you live in brighton i guess, but thought it would be interesting to see.
im currently on 46-17 which seems to be fair for all but the very windy days.

I've run 48-16 for the past year and very few hills defeat me, saying that tho I might be moving to Southover St so maybe thats the time to change! Elvis and Kelvin have suggested we should all catch up before so I'm always around!

yeah a ride would be good. evening or weekend people??

i'm 42-16 as i'm a spinner and can't stand having to walk up hills!

dunno im ill at the moment :( second time this month!!

saw a a nice bright green fixedwheel on sunday, blasting past the past just as id come out the shop, couldnt see any or make out the make of the bike but looked nice! anyone here??

and i think i may have see you today elvis, do you have a black/white saddle??
