QED

I obviously know what TT means, I also know what a HED Jet is. I was asking to what bike hippy was reffering.

otherwise, thanks ever so much :D

Hello all - just saying hi - haven't rode for about 10 yrs - built a fixie from bits lying around in the college bike shed - but it wasn't very reliable! Dropped it touring in the cotswolds, and bent the frame. Anyway - looking to buy a bike soon - any hints on search parameters so I don't ask a very FAQ - budget is £300, needs mudguards and rack. Don't mind 2nd hand, don't mind building from scratch.

OTP = Off the peg. GA2G has a good list: http://www.londonfgss.com/thread9085.html
Welcome.

Top tube? ;)
What did you mean re: "the fixed TT bike on here. HED Jet wheels"
I searched all the likely words on here, even did TT through google, no luck :(

It's all about the context and since we were talking about a timetrial bike..

I couldn't find it either, nevermind. The guy who rides it is on here. It's a nice fixed TT bike, is all.

ah ok. I'll start a thread in a couple of hours, when I can.

another newbie to the forum just saying hi. have only been cycling a few months now and havn't cycled fixed yet but the plan is to build a fixie in the hope that i learn some maintenance skills and have a bit of fun learning new bike skills with fixed gear.

Evening chaps, I have been enjoying scouting around the forum sculking in the shadows, watching from afar etc... I actually live in sunny Cornwall and just purchased a minty Raleigh Record Sprint, black with gold decals even the space shuttle on the seat tube! Exchanging bits and bobs to knock up a single/ fixed (got a flip flop hub to try both). I am moving up to Bristol in Jan to finish off a degree I started 4 years ago so 'Hi' to the Bristol contingent hope to meet up for a spin in the new year.

is cornwall sunny right now?

give PJ a slap warm hello from the londoners when you get to bristol

actually it was sunny today but a bit parky too.

Thanks very much! I have a good idea of what I'll buy now - but, assuming I've graduated from the nursery, will post to the bike section for comments before I part with cash.

G'day there all, newbie saying hi.. Hope you're ready for a big one tonight, fuckin' steaming here in Perth, Western Australia, just snared myself a Bianchi Pista frameset, need to fill it out now.

G'day Glacier - quite a few Perthites on t'forum living in London, have a macchiato from Gino's for me!

If you're rolling round Perth and Freo keep an eye out for TK [one of the graf boys] who rides fixed and say hello from me and make sure you get to the Speed Dome as they have an absolutley beautiful track there

Where in Perth, Glacier?

Hi all!

I'm a pure and real newbie (on this forum and the world of cycles in general – and fixies one in particular) but grow an interest for it recently so i thought i'd learn some stuff from you all and share my riding adventures.
Anyway glad to be here. :)

hippy has arrivethedededed!
Check out a similar idea from my homeland: fixed.org.au

Look how it started.. so simple.. so innocent..

... and so obviously a cunt.

Just a pointer to what wildbill wanted to post and needed to repeat post first to (read it before assuming the worst folks):

willdbill, I'm afraid other than predictable platitudes I don't know what to say, but I do know that you'll find good people here willing to help with whatever they can as much as they can
