Can I introduce myself here?

Afternoon all! Have been watching perversly from afar and thought it was about time i said 'hi' officially before joining in on the discussions/rants/banter :)

I'm originally from Cambridge (bike city!) and have moved down to London for work, i've always cycled to work and do the same here (Camberwell to Bloomsbury) and am dead dead jealous of all the SS and FG bikes that i pass (or get passed by) every morning. My bro races (mostly through thetford forest in the mud) and has a SS amongst others and togeher we are piecing together a nice steelie for me to hack around london on.

Good forum this, good mix of bods not just couriers and the like, if i ask nicely can i inflict my modest comments and the like and join in??! ;)

Ta :)

I am a fakexenger - that is: I dress up to look like an ex-messenger.

Hi Toby. I'm new too.
Oh is this the way to do it? I've already embarassed myself on me first day then... Apparently you need to lurk first...

Can somebody actually say why that guy is getting so much hassle, the Old Kent Road geezer. I looked on the glossary thread, but that degenerated FAST.

Goddamit....Every thing will go downhill from here........innit......

Given that its noob introduction times, and I've got an appropriately Snow White and the Seven Dwarves name along with Sleepy, I thought i'd show my face.

So hello to you all, and thank you for many of you for unwittingly helping me dismantle and rebuild lots of skip bikes... oh and I managed to wheel a speedway bike into Brixton Cycle with dog sh!t on the front wheel this morning too. Guaranteed way to make yourself popular!

All over, born and bred, me ma/bro and mates all still there. I started in Histon till 12yo then moved to the south around Hauxton/Shelford before leaving the nest and living central. Love Cambridge but loving London more, i long for london when back in Cambridge! Are you still in Cambridge?

My mother warned me of boys like you ;)

TobyOneKanobe I started in Histon...Are you still in Cambridge?

oh word! I'm from Waterbeach so just across a bit from you, got a few friends who went to school in Histon and Girton. Been down in London for a bit now, was doing the commute thing but it was killing me so i made the move. Going back to my mums in Fullbourn for Christmas though, gonna be sick.

If you want to find out about tony da fony, search for a thread about witcomb cycles. Story too long for typing on my (lovely new) ipod touch.

Oh and hello one and all, nice to have you aboard :-)
