Allow me to kick this off, with my cheap as chips Raleigh Scorpio build:

David - I think I may have seen you riding that.
Was your pista outside 5050 last tuesday afternoon?

Yeah, I park it outside of there if I am around that side of town. I know the wonderful people responsible for Shrinking Violet, they keep an eye on it for me.

Building up my new bike tomorrow morning (YAY)
flicks will be upped tomorrow evening after ive rinsed it around bristol for the day!

Mine, built up today!

^^
Thats lovely that! Exactly what im looking for…
anyone in Bristol know of anyone selling a bike? Looking for something classic and plain like that, but would be willing to do a project also.

emails me if you do, would be greatly appreciated…

My Surly...

Nice…
right scrap what I said above, picked one up of gumtree last night… whats the cheapest you reckon I can get this done for? Want to keep it as authentic as possible so would look at just changing the hub and chain-set then giving it a good'ol clean-up.

(not really - but figure everyone's seen a langster by now)

where do you work? only place i can think off the top of my head that does marin is bike? nice bike by the way, im quite a fan of small chainrings, i reckon they look nicer smaller.

Yeah I work at BIKE UK.
and now all the white ont he bike has turned a strange shade of dirty yellow, let me tell you it doesnt look as impressive!

like early morning piss? not good. just wait till it snows then ride it and you'll love how fresh and white it looks again.

so are you a new boy there at bike or been there a while? i've never seen a fixed bike or had anyone speak to me about fixed when ive been in there except oscar who i know.

Ive been there since january possibly.
Yeah Ive only just recently built that up, I dont work there that often either.
Oscar isnt much into the idea of fixed gear I dont think!
epecially because of his knee (ouch)

That cat is Massive!

nah, just teeny tiny bike and house. like princes. its just too wee.

(reeves and mortimer reference for those that dont know).

bloody hell yea id forgotten about his knee, i havent seen him in months.
i might swing by soon to top up my winter light collection so say hi if you see a rusty fixed with a brooks and risers, or a oddball black fixed with a white rolls saddle, front disc and epic clearances. they are both me.

will do matey

I recently discovered the joys of lighter fluid as a cleaning product. I've used it very successfully to clean oil and general hand-filth off my grips.

try to avoid leaving it on paint and laquer for too long though...
