Welcome

yeah,im a new cross resident!
I realise this thread is like a year or so old but I live in brockley/new cross too. its good to see some peeps from round here on the site. if I see your name on more recent posts i'll say hi. dont know much about computers but I'll have a look around to see if I find you/any other peeps from se4 for drinks/rides/parts swaps etc...

I stand corrected (I live in Brockley)
just had a quick look through this thread (not thoroughly), theres a few people from round here, is there anyone local might be able to help me out with my convertion (old BSA racer)? I got quite a few bikes, if someone helped me with my bike(s) I could sort them out a few bits (maybe a whole bike!)

TBH, we all live near somewhere...

I'd love to help, but alas, I am off to Oz tomorrow for about a month.
Head to south drinks tonight and introduce yourself - there's a big handsome devil with a massive beard. Buy him a drink and he'll point you in the right direction.

Well thanks for the tips. Turns out I'm a bigger eedjit than I thought. My Irn-Bru can shim didn't work either as the new bars just spin in the stem - new stem for me then! Also, my Dirt Harry break leaver doesn't really fit either - I'm off to an absolute flyer with this build my own fixed gear malarkey!

it's only a bike, most bike shops should be able to help you. try your local ones first

the thing is ive got some bits already,so im looking for a frame and a rear wheel,and my local shops dont build up fixies and dont have frames for them and i dont want a langster either

and i dont want a langster either

Good man! And welcome, with quotes like that you'll fit right in here ;)

Oops... I'm another lurker who's not posted on this one yet. Hello!!

I've been knocking around on my Raleigh Record Sprint conversion for a little over a year now, still got bit's to do, including possible new forks, and definite new wheel set.

Dude, Fiddy doesn't have a mate, Fiddy's got a motherfucking posse

this^ made me smile! Well said Sano.

I would be honoured to say I'm in Da Fiddy Posse. Him run ting.

^ You do that Tony, you do that.

I saw the one man band guy doing Hendrix, tres cool.

Hello to everyone. Been following some time now and just registered to the board. Hope I am not to much of a commuter / nonstyler for you guys, but we'll see.
To give you an idea: I ride a lemond fillmore with straight handlebars, on the SS side, powergrips on the pedals and a rear mudguard. Wear a fat helmet as well. Love it.

Christ, wait until everyone see's my bike..... the words "SLAUGHTER" and "LAMB" spring to mind

Seems like a pretty inclusive place whatever you ride, pal. What crotch chaffing creme do you use?

None... usually wearing cut off army style pants without a cushion underneath but recently started to wear my lycra top I bought for running as it's thermal and has long sleeves, and it gets a bit chilly in the mornings ... But I am not really a lycra lover. Also there is a hint of hipster in me. I brought back a white and blue chrome bag from SF when I went visiting ... does that make me a fakenger?

Did you buy it off this guy?

Hi everyone. Just wanted to say im new here, just raised enough cash to buy my first fixed gear/singlespeed frame, (i plan to have alternate rear wheels)
Just registered today after regularly reading the forum.
Me and a mate plan to unite some fixed riders in bristol and start a regular ride.

cheers.

welcome blankface.... I skate quite a bit in Bristol, a few of the guys I skate with have just got themselves bikes too. I reckon you'll have plenty of company.

is anyone riding in the sussex area,why is it so hard to choose such a simple bike,

You most certainly are!
