Names and faces to bikes

Hey Dark Poney do you hang out at Palais Royale on sunday's I was thinking of going down there and inflicting my langue francais on you's

It's fucked up these days because of water (and ducks) on the 'playground'
I don't play polo yet (need a bike for)
but guys are going to other spots, like "invalides" (I know that some guys here are already in touch with people in Paris, but...):
you'll find some pics here:

Polo topic on the french fixies forum : http://pignonfixe.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=110&page=1

So if you or other people here are planning to come to PARIS:
Go to this website to check the spots and tell the french guys about it (if you want to meet people) :

I think i met you once at a Kelly Rowland thing at some school?? maybe not??

I am assuming it was me seeing as i took the pics for it, who where you there?
who are you now?
haha

So... boy or girl?

Finally got pics of bike, old Shorter Rochford which used to be my commuter until the winter weather destroyed the whole drivetrain so turned it into a fixed gear with an on-one double fixed rear hub, chainline was a complete fluke me thinks.

Still getting use to it.

Bienvenue darkponey - nice bike. Love the colour combination.

Dark Poney I am in Paris I'll have to come ans serach you boys out

Love the colours Dark Poney
only you crazy French could have sooooo much fun with a dead animal head ;)

I am over in Paris in November, i might tap you up for good places to ride

Beaut!
What tyres?
Don't want any, just curious
gran compe ;)

yep for the tires:
bought at Blue lug's. (japan)

Well, everybody is welcome in our country (I am the one who decides, not "my" president)

You can find guys hanging at "cyclope's" too
(a fixie shop in the center of paris)
Here is the address:

that logo is frickin awesome.

me btw.... you'll see me in leeds or harrogate

that was the look, a little bit of rust and then clearcoat

the frame, forks & front wheel spot on for a "rat" bike look.

It was just so ugly, and with the slack chain that I was thinking you might have not done it on purpose.

You should get a ratty old beat up brooks on it.

i love that logo so much i have ripped it off with my character. sweet.

Let me introduce myself as well!

That's me:

And more importantly, this is Maxima, my bike:

Both living in Dublin at the moment.

he he fanz,
saw you on the french forum.
nice bike!

I thought I did that?

Love it or hate it, here she is...

Fort lo-pro steel frame, paint stripped off

650c carbon front wheel (I'm told it's a Corima, but that's not what the stickers said when I got it. Makes a lovely whirring noise when you're riding)

There's a Sugino/Condor black crank and chainring on now as well, £50 from Condor including the chainring, a bargain

FBM BMX stem, mountain bike jump bars, broken saddle. The chain ain't slack, it's the angle of the photo. I've got a Conti Top Contact tyre on the back, too, thoroughly recommended

did u buy your front wheel from BLB?
if so, i am pretty sure its a corima

Whooooo momma! Nice bike.

My grandparents live nearish harrogate. Just outside Knaresborough in fact.

Whooooo momma! Nice bike.

Awesome. Can we have close up on the bars? Moustache?

Also is that a Brooks Swallow?

yup.. brooks swift actually, and the bars are £10 north road bars chopped and flipped....

oo yeah, forgot that was last week,

just changed the forks and bars... the bars are chopped nittos, going to strip the frame this week and clearcoat lacquer it (maybe pinstripe the lugs)

also going to see if i can polish the decal on (its originally a condor)

knaresborough is nice, lots of nice hills around there

^ nice cranks

thanks... i think i need to sell them though to fund another bike project... they are unnecessary bling as i have some perfectly fine mighty75s in the garage

If that was my baby I'd leave the decals off and put a chrome fork on there! But I'm just jealous, cause it ain't mine. Nice bike man!
