Spotted...

Soz mate,
not me, ive been chugging myself up to Shepards bush all week.

Anyone here go to gymbox St Martins Lane?

Spotted a tall naked fella in the changing room with a Condor water bottle.

Also saw a fixie curryer bike locked up outside

I'm not tall, naked, or a bloke (or a gym-goer, come to that), but I do own a Condor water bottle, so there's an outside chance it was me.

Spotted last Friday, locked up outside MTV in Camden: a white Allin frame, with new-looking Brooks and orange grips. I've never come across Allins before, but this one looked rather nice. Anyone know whose it is?

green deep v's and very similar forks

coincidence?
i think not

Dropout at the bottom of Shepherds Bush Road this very evening with those glorious disco lights ablaze!

Somebody on New Road/Cannon Street Road on Saturday night? Would have said hi but I was in the back of my dad's car.

Oliver Schick WALKING down Wick Rd today eating chips. Where's your bike? Would have stopped and said hi but I was late as fuck!

Have you tried the chippy at the bottom of Wick Rd run by the Chinese couple? Really friendly (often give extra chips for free) and the best chips I've had in London.

paaaaaajamas phil rolling up bethnal green road at 8:50am, I was on my way into work picking up some dry cleaning!

Haha, nice one, but unfortunately spot fail. I only just got back to London tonight and could have been spotted getting off the train and getting on buses. I'm surgically attached to my bike at most times. :)

[horrible thought]I pity the poor person who looks like me.[/horrible thought]

No, I haven't, but I'll keep it in mind for when I'm in the area. I must admit that since I've learned to cook I've hardly ever been to any chippies although I often make chips at home!

diggin the enthusiasm dude but unless I was sleep-riding again - in the words of Shaggy - "it wasn't me"..

doubt I'll be spotted for a while, i've gone all stealth-hoodie on my ass in this weather, part-mandem part-Kenny.

I'm back in the east and so spots have gone up by about a bazillion per cent. noone says hi to strangers - fair enough, busy concentrating on avoidin' the x-amounta shitty potholes.

dude at Rio Tescos this evening, light blue maybe hungarian track bike - hello.

also seen quite a lot of a dude with a fair old tash and I think specs around Shacklewell Lane. You look familiar, maybe just because I've seen you before. hi anyway..

m a r i e if you a have a nice blue merckx road machine then i think i clocked you this morning getting on to waterloo bridge. couldn't be sure though as my eyes were still frosted.

Yep, was me and the Merckx - my first time being spotted! Where were you? The Merckx should be a lot nicer very soon, new groupset is in the post!

Claus this morning on holborn viaduct. I spotted the Benotto bar tape first! Hello.

I believe I saw the famous edscoble on the corner of Grays Inn/Clerkenwell Road last night.

I only know what you look like because I lurk here occasionally (although usually without much to say!) and have seen many a picture of yourself and your bike.

I may have also met a lot of people on here in real life... but I tend not to mention the forum for fear of constant ribbing and embarrassment from my girlfriend.

So I shall never reveal my real name. Not that anyone remotely cares.

Christ mate, you made me sound like a fucking King!

but yeah that is me, I was heading home at 10ish, were you on your bike?

also spotted yesterday night at about 7ish, Crispin Glover on his Bianchi at Clerkenfixed Road, I can see why he want to post a new photos of his bike in the Names and faces to bikes topic, he just change the green tape to white! (I think, it was dark).

you're pretty good at riding brakeless too.

Unipak fail on Clerkenwell Rd this morning: no chain in sight and the rider was holding the saddle and inspecting his broken seat post.

someone wearing hoody grinding up Pentonville Road on a Bianchi pista with a disc wheel. He RLJed at the junction with Penton Street and narrowly missed being hit by a car...muppet

I was riding my IRO on t'other side of the road.

Wow! Are you a King? I am humbled.

Also - there was a guy cycling west near Holborn/Clerkenwell Rd this morning on a black Bob Jackson Vigorelli - If you read this - I need to know where you got your jersey? I have the hat to match!

Edscoble last night after work, near Grays Inn Rd. Word up bra chest bumps

three spots this morning....

older dude, maybe 50?, crossing fulham broadway, with riser bars and I think an on one frame? 9am i'd say. was far away and my glasses steamed so forgiveness begged if bike or age wildly wrong!

white iro with orange deep vs turning into new covent garden market bit earlier this am...didn't see me...

finally dude along chiswick high road, 930 I think, on a silver steed...had a nod but totally failed to see your bike proper as was totally entranced by your orange lenses of power...and overtaking the granny ambler in front of me...

Bloke on a white Dolan verrr nice track bike this morning all the way along Grosvenor Road and Embankment...part of a 5 bike racenotrace at about 8am

I said..."bit nice for a winter hack", he said, "it's fine if you wash it every day" that's dedication

[horrible thought]I pity the poor person who looks like me.[/horrible thought]

But what do you look like? And your bike. I don't recall you posting in names and faces yet. In fact, there are a lot of people who seem to be doing the 'I'm too cool to be spotted' thang at the mo...

Yep, was me and the Merckx - my first time being spotted! Where were you? The Merckx should be a lot nicer very soon, new groupset is in the post!

i was overtaking you C so all you would have seen was the back of an old man wrapped up to the nines with full leggings and hoodie. i did have my Eddie Merckx headband on under the hood and if i was sure it was you would have said hello.

i am watching a Merckx on the bay at the moment. v tempted.

Mine was an eBay bargain. You were on the white Capocetic (sp?) then? I saw the frame but didn't recognise you at all! Yeah, I was slow yesterday (and everyday) - riding in trainers on atac pedals at the moment (slippy!), and the Merckx has only got one working gear thanks to a bent mech hanger, so the pace is usually fairly glacial.

marie - merckx and a mercian!

i think i just saw nosferatu(?) going up upper street, green frame and garish trispoke?
i couldn't rely tell if it was you, as i couldn't see a 3 foot long joint hanging out your mouth.
