Spotted...

hehe that's the spirit! :)

Who was the Chris Hoy - wannabe on the black Condor Lavaro with helmet and blue jacket who tried to draft me up the start of South Lambeth Road this evening?
Swung out wide and told him to fuck-off, anyone here?

Did anyone else see the guy in an Assos jacket riding a fixed Bianchi (celeste so not the Pista) with a rear wheel puncture through Stockwell/Clapham tonight? I reckon that rear rim will be fubar'd now.

did he have a big blond/red beard?

I don't know/think so on the facial hair I had just taken off from a junction, minding my own business, little way down the road noticed someone trying to get a free ride - annoying.

It was about 6.20.

if he had a big beard and drop bars with proper brakes and hoods (rare on a lavaro) it could have been my mate webby, he'd only be playing with you, but he's not the sort to be too much of a cunt.

The Spotted thread notches up another success.

was he wearing the casco fighter pilot lid? haha

Seeing that over my shoulder fairly unsettled me it did.

he's an ex courier and we know they are all cunts and would take anything that's free whether they needed it or not, i'm surprised he didn't ask you to carry his bag.

clefty [quote]CHUG_IT Think i just saw Clefty on the Strand... blue Charge Plug, front brake, loking a bit wet and bothered.

Apologies if not you!

Ha that was me! It wasnt you who passed me as I was unlocking my bike outside of Maplin was it?
black frame with a big courier bag and shaved head we eyed each other suspiciously as you went past.
Went on a lunchtime sojourn for resistors and got bloody soaked.[/quote]

No no i was in my suit trying not to get too wet, was on the hunt for a photo album and passed you outside Tesco on my way to Cards Galore.. sorry should have said hello!

the commute to the job is proving rich for this thread, before i had even got to brixton this morning i saw two on railton road, tall guy on an old converted raleigh, single speed, then just after a guy an old red condor with red rims. both nice bikes but the pick of them was on kennington road. a guy on a pearly pink mtb conversion (i think - defo not road geometry) with mudguards. really nicely done and put together, chris king headsets and the like. he was wearing one of those rasta style hats

I see the rasta guy all the time round Clapham, Stockwell, he has a lovely bike and is brightly coloured in everyway

RPM [quote]pj [quote]illy Guy on pale green Condor with Rapha hat and shorts bombing it along the Victoria Embankment this morning.

i wouldn't admit to this stockbroker's get up if it was me. i'd keep very quiet indeed.

as quiet as a MOUSE..perhaps[/quote]
Not me I was wheeling my bike along Brick lane wearing a pair of women's jeans, vans and with a courier bag slung over my shoulder (mint condition, brim full of Apple products) :op

Hops battling north over Tower Bridge at about 6pm, I was on foot and you were gone before i could shout. Ello Luv!
I liked your hat btw

lovely fix outside TATE modern this evening, liberty badge, curly seat tube, crazy top tube, yellow rims and red tires. i really liked your setup - only one suggestion: put a second lock on that! maybe the TATE is safe, but i don't trust anywhere in london unless it's for less than ten minutes.

lol! How did you manage to roll up those tight ass jeans?

Even though I'm in tropical Glasgow, I want to play just this once. In the bike shed at Gartnavel General - to my utter astonishment - a rather new-looking Condor Pista. Selle San Marco saddle; tiny little Cateye lights; looks like it's singlespeed rather than fixed. All this detail is superfluous, cos I've never seen one up here before. Who's the owner, eh? They're bound to find their way to this website eventually. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that they make it to page 27 of this thread. :-)

Rakan at Old Street Roundabout, nice to see you dude

Muna riding the wrong way down Brick Lane, hello!

oh btw sano, sorry to get your hopes up, but i'm going to have to pass on those wheels. i'm moving house and it's all gone a bit tits up.

You wouldn't have to even ride down, you could just sit there and let the flow of humanity sweep you along...

@PJ, no worries dude, it's the canal for them after all! Dead prossies and all...

You should, Scot. Every time I see a brown mountain bike I wonder if it's you, even if the riders never have enough metal in their heads. :-P Actually, I wouldnae mind a look at one of your bags if you are in Glasgow sometime. Not that I doubt the fine inhabitants of the forum or photos of the bags with people in them. I want one cos they look great. I don't need one cos I've got a Timbuk2 that's only about six months old. That might change if I had one of yours in my hands, though.

lol

Och, fat tyres and suspension - it's a bloody mountain bike! :-P
