Names and faces to bikes

I'm tempted too, but only on the slave bike.
Realistically I might make a Ghettospoke....

Ghettospoke ? I am scared !

Update - New bike now finished :)

I'm debating putting on the white tyres that have been sitting in my cupboard for the last few weeks... opinions?

Get those white shoes on bitch !

It should make a nice halfway house between a Jules Vern Bike and a Hip hop slave bike :)

Hi all,

Posted a couple of times but thought I should get a pic on or 2:

My beloved Fuji after a bus ate it.
My Dolan frame with left-over fuji bits and bobs.
My e-bay winter project (carlton frame)
Me, at Richmond park.

I ride from Walthamstow to Soho daily, often via Regents park for a couple of laps.

Will try and get out on a ride or two soon,

Tom.

damn that fuji came off bad, glad your ok.

Im moving to London in late august, cant wait to ride your streets.

not bringing this bike with me though.

Bring your Numarks - are they fixed wheel ?

Ghettospoke ? I am scared !

I'm making me a wheel of sponge and cream, a Gateauspoke

Oh, let's book him again, he was good.

Thanks, I somehow bounced around the bus as it slammed into the back of me. I was more upset at the bike than the bruises I received, it was like watching an old friend being slowly crushed!

I used to have that Dolan frame in red, decent bit of kit

where did the term "hip hop slave bike" come from? I don't get the joke?

I think we need a faq with all these forum memes :D

alfonzo: i'm from ponteland.

Ok this is getting well weird. I can't say for definite but I think MY bike:

...is also a Joe Waugh!

I didn't realise he and dave yates run/used to run M Steel Cycles!!

i got a nearly identical frame built in Middlesbrough.

Hi all.
I'm Owen from Ipswich.
This is my first fixed bike.

It's got flats on as my clipless haven't arrived yet.
I also haven't fitted the white Vittoria's yet.

I still haven't decided on whether to run it fixed (as is) or singlespeed.
I'm a 'roadie' and think a SS will be closer to my normal ride.
I must say there's some nice kit on here and you all have a sweet forum.

Let me put it like this, it was meant to be a kind of rubbish idiom a 'style' writer would come up with - a kind of Nathan Barley-ism (if that makes sense!).

For it to make real sense you would need to read this Observer article first, then the second 'adjusted' version.

finally....is that your cottaging pic then?

Hello,

here are my two lovely rides:

if you see me on them say hello! I'm the one on the left:

Tynan.... that's, that's just, well.... fucking funny!

like the look of that top bike, blue bikes rule.

BoBoB....

I saw your bike locked to that pole somewhere between Gower and TotenhamC if i rememeber right...Nice, but nice bike means get a better lock was my thought. Work in that area?

finally....is that your cottaging pic then?

Yes mate, well sort of. Its a nice little spot I thought I'd set up for a cyclists dogging club...

No photos of me I'm afraid - spend more time behind the lens than in front of it. This pales in significance compared to some of the rides on these pages, but it gets me about until I can get myself something I want to spend more time getting to the full hipster standard.

Paint is a rattle can job, chipping slightly in places, but doesn't bother me too much at the moment.

As in built for you? Who was the builder?

those stems are so phallic in the best way possible
