Spotted in Bristol...

Having looked at the "post your bikes" thread, I think I can state with some authority that I spotted Steamroller last Thursday on the platform of Bath station.

I was stood behind you with my roadbike (black w/ red rims). I thought you might have been off here, but I didn't want to butt in to your conversation with your mate with the old "Are you that bloke off the forum?" chat!

Next time I see you I'll say "hi"!

saw a gorgeous bike outside clifton down about 8:15am on Friday... black frame with chrome rear triangle, black rear wheel, white deep v front with white tyre and white grips on risers. looked lovely.

This belongs to a good friend of mine called Steven, and it is a beautiful bike. It has a good home and a loving owner.

is it a lugged steel conversion? Recently run with a white velocity on the back?

are there any bristol rides or meetups planned?
would be cool to do something

Hello!

Strangely the same thought went through my mind when I saw you stood there... then I saw the gears and thought better of it!

Did you get on the next train? Gets a bit mental at 6pm on the platform.

Yeah - I wasn't in a hurry and I didn't fancy the bunfight!

See you around, dude.

How, neighbours. I've been lurking around this site for a while now, like a bit of a rapey sweat merchant, but now I will reveal myself to you, you lucky, lucky people you. Sorry for hijacking the thread, but cos I'm new to the site, it won't let me start my own one.
I live in Yogurtsville, Montpelier. I ride an old blue converted Dawes with some uber-metrosexual pink grips yancopad. Are there any rides planned soon? And where's the loo around here?
Cheersy bye,
Cooper

if you book them, they will come... maybe. bristol folk are notoriously hard to motivate it seems.

Are any of you coming down to Mud Dock tomorrow night?

See this thread:- http://www.londonfgss.com/thread10516.html#post296215

im in there like swim wear.

that's disgusting. i just threw up a little bit.

where all these hipsters? i never see them. they don't stray outside the clifton triangle. unless going to gloucester road for the weekly hipster boho jaunt.

I might do although judging on how I feel today i doubt id be up to any form of excersise

i'm coming casp, as is:

aidy, pete, most of the cheesy riders (bristol MTB posse), and several others. so i'd say there will be at least 11 people there.

oh pj just did a funny...

and the hipsters,they are everywhere. perhaps you eyes are more tuned to the country lane muck of your your commute than the yoots on bikes out there. by the way, my internet is back. whoop.

yeah whatever.

david cripps is coming too. i think he said he was going to 'race'. i'm not sure. should be around by 6.30ish. i'll be on the raleigh, if it isn't raining. with my new wheels, if they arrive. if not, back on the bob. see pics in bob jackson thread. winter bikes all the way.

winter bikes are go for sure. except i left mine in london... i love the 81" gear, i was suprised how quickly it became normal.. sprinting up stamford hill was lush.

81" is ok for london. it's not normal.

i went to the velodrome yesterday. so much fun.

spotted some dude ive seen at hardcore gigs at the croft going up and down stokes croft yesterday evening, he then turned off into picton street/st pauls.
couldnt really get a look at the bike but the guy looked pretty scene, had some wierd blong straightened hair
sorry if ive insulted anyone

I had about 81" on mine for a couple of years. I only ever rode between Whitechapel and Clerkenwell though, flat as a pancake.

81" in Bristol will kill both knees in under a year I reckon. What about 51"?

nah, i rode 81 for over a year in bristol. you get used to it, you either blast hills or mosey up real slow watching the world go by.

what is blong hair?

I rode up park street once about 7 years ago on 81" fixed it wasn't very nice.

There was nobody to spot me back then.
