Big thighs?

Nigella Lawson?
Christ.

no, any decent bike with good tyres and well-tensioned wheels will ride nicely.

try one out?

I read that as well tensioned thighs.

I really need to knock the Stella on the head.

Big thighs run in my family and I love it. It makes buying jeans/suits a bit tricky but apart from that it's all good. They are a lot more toned through years of cycing then they ever were when I was purely a rugby man, that's for sure.

As for if they're a hot look, well that comes down to the individual. For me, it's Nigella Lawson over Kate Moss anyday of the week.

oh yeah baby, work that ice cream

+1 for Nigella. She could whisk my eggs anytime she liked.

Conclusion :

Big thighs is the way to go :)))

We need Nigella Lawson fun club now .

i'd stuff Moss up Lawsons well fed arse and be done with them both. in fact i'd make a TV serious out of it and calmly eulogise over every aspect of me stuffing Moss up Lawson, working through an un-unnecessary wide range of mildly erotic adjectives. whilst pouting at a soft focus lens to the tune of Air or Lemon Jelly. in fact i'd pay to watch that!

To be honest Mam you are not likely to see a huge growth in thigh size over night. maybe pop a thread on the wanted/sale side asking for a thigh monitor ;)

65? i put made my friend a 49/18 around 73..thing this might be a touch high for north london? its a SS with a 16t on the FIxed side...

I'm new and having similar quandaries as tombola, (apart from the thigh thing), basically I need to bite the bullet, stop being a pussy and get me a fixed wheel or flip flop. Only reservation is about getting off at the lights sharpish like, no-one seems to have answered that one, is it obvious somethnig needs to be sacrificed to have a high powered fixed wheel? A slow start? Is this also why fixers are more likely to cruise up to and then jump lights?
andries as tombola

i just started fixed.. went from geared jump bike to ss jump bike to ss road now fixed, and touch wood fixed is the way forward for all of that.. no jim you don't get the speedy start off the lights (unless you go for a spinny spinny ratio - that shite is up to you innit :) but it's nice building up.. and i don't jump lights,., can't generalise like dat! anyway pedla stands are easier on a fixed! i agrees with others here that say that fixed makes you a different rider.. more thoughtful.. i'd like to think it's more gentlemanly atchally ;)

At lights just slow down very very early and keep pedals turning over; its overcoming the inertia from a full stop thats the hard bit. You'll cruise past all the guys racing light to light, stopping dead and unclipping.
Ride like a shark not a hamster. ;0)

I ride 52x21 (about 66 gear inches?) fixed on my commuting bike. The bike weighs about 9.5kgs I weigh 60kgs. I don't have big thighs or anything and I'm always faster than any cars from the lights. I'm not always faster than motorbikes I guess.

I don't think you'll be quicker from the lights on... say a hybrid with gears, unless your heading up a very steep hill.

I'm not always faster than motorbikes I guess.

only those who really want to zoom out, i.e. chavs in scooter and twat in fast powerful motorbike.

innit, nothing's quicker than a Piaggio Zit.

right here we go, I like Big Thighs By Sir-Crash-Allot:

talking
Oh my god

Look, she's just so hypster

I like big thighs and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that thigh was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But those thighs you got
Make Me so horney
Ooh, hunch of smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my 3renshno
Well use me use me cuz you aint that average fixie

I've seen them skiddin
To hell with track standin
She's Sweat,Wet, got it goin like a Whitcomb

I'm tired of magazines
Saying flat thighs are the thing
Take the average messenger man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back

So Fellas (yeah) Fellas(yeah)
Has your girlfriend got the thighs (hell yeah)
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake those healthy thighs
Baby got back

(LA face with Oakland booty)

I like'em round and big
And when I'm throwin a Skid
I just can't help myself
I'm actin like an animal
Now here's my scandal

I wanna get you home
And UH, double up UH UH
I aint talkin bout playboy
Cuz silicone parts were made for toys
I wannem real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mixalot's in trouble
Beggin for a piece of that bubble
So I'm lookin' at rock videos
Knockin these bimbos walkin like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sistas
I wanna get with ya
I won't cus or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna --
Til the break of dawn
Baby Got it goin on
Alot of pimps won't like this song
Cuz them punks lie to hit it and quit it
But I'd rather stay and play
Cuz I'm long and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on

So ladies (yeah), Ladies (yeah)
Do you wanna roll in my Moyer (yeah)
Then turn around
Stick it out
Even Fakenger boys got to shout
Baby got back

(LA face with the Oakland booty)

Yeah baby
When it comes to females
Cosmo ain't got nothin to do with my selection
36-24-36
Only if she's 5'3"

So your girlfriend throws a Honda
Playin workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her (Bob) Jackson
My anaconda don't want none unless you've got Thighs hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups, but please don't lose them Thighs
Some brothers wanna play that hard role
And tell you that those Thighs ain't gold
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So cosmo says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that
Cuz your waste is small and your curves are kickin
And I'm thinkin bout stickin
To the beanpole dames in the magazines
You aint it miss thing
Give me a sista I can't resist her
Red beans and rice did miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
Cuz his girls were on my list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And pulled up quick to get with 'em
So ladies if the thighs are round
And you wanna triple X throw down
Dial 1-900-CrashALOT and kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back
Baby got back
Little in tha middle but she got much back x4

hahahaha. fuckin' priceless.

Yeah. Exactly my point.

Need I say more?

toned thighs on a girl are really, really sexy.

If you're not physically big (i.e large structure), you won't get big thighs. Even if you are, you'd need to go to the gym in addition, or something. Thigh muscles are the largest in the body, it takes a lot to make them big.

anyone hurt in the crash?

It is all about the cottage of wattage, really.

Only reservation is about getting off at the lights sharpish like, no-one seems to have answered that one, is it obvious somethnig needs to be sacrificed to have a high powered fixed wheel? A slow start? Is this also why fixers are more likely to cruise up to and then jump lights?

I built my bike 52-19 , 72.5 gear inches I think. It was my first fixed wheel bike and second road bike.

I could within a couple days achieve optimum speed within one crank revolution simply thanks to the responsive efficent nature of the fixed wheel. This obviously made me quick off the lights, and my best time for my commute went from 25minutes (freewheel road bike) to 11minutes.

Fixed wheel has made me loads loads faster, im a seriously non-athletic person and it has been incredible to be able to ride so fast and in such control too. I can actually overtake car traffic and feel confident to use all road lanes etc , its has been a bit of a revelation. However, I snapped my frame recently, and have been left sulking without access to this joy. Im trying my best to put a bike together fast, life feels wrong without a fixie.

How did you snap your frame recently?
Is it made out of biscuit?

would seriously enhance his non-athletic claims. a frame you could nibble on while waiting at lights???

I find Fixeds are better for pulling away at lights purely cause the power you transfer to the rear wheel without the give of a gear set. i don't get the confidence pushing all with all my strength on my geared bike, its not the best in the world and it has slipped. but i can put my whole body into pulling away on my fixeds and they respond.

wrong sex i know.. those these things at the bottom are scary!

Does his shirt say "Track Cunt"?
Awesy.
