"Pictures of Lily" post pix of your fick swill bike

saw someone on a grey bike, pink wheels, bullhorns trundling down trinity st this morning. seen him about a couple of times - is he on here?

ive seen that bike parked on trinity street once, no idea who the owner is

That's a guy Rick built a bike for

yeah its one of the bikes rick built up and sold theres another unsold grey bike at B.A. (my new name for bicycle ambulance cos it sounds cool and hackneyesk) if any one want it.

BA Robertson ?

Permed Glaswegian entertainer and all round loathsome cretin.

Hackney is a shit-hole, i used to live there in the 80's . Full of Yuppies and Yardies

That would be me! :D

saw one of these in locked outside long road (college) today. Whose is it, own up! :)

Ahh yes, the guy who owns this passes through Camb. train station most days. Last week I decided to say hello. He used to BMX and this is his first fixed. Nice fella.

Here's a few of my first ficss..

but because i've been twiddling my thumbs since finishing it i've recently picked up an old motobecane frame that i've started working on ...has anyone got any 700c's or similar kicking about that they would be willing to sell?

kicking back old school at the moment while i fix my rusty babe

It is a bare metal frame, although it doesn't look that way now! I had it like this for a while, really like the look, but just fancied investigating an alternative so I've started spraying it white...but i'm pessimistic about the outcome!!

hmmm....did you strip the paint and then simply laquer it? Does that hold?

Im trying the bare metal look but cant figure out whether the laq will hold it from rusting

A few months on and a very salty salty winter so far , i can safely say the spray laquer i used did give fuck all to minimal protection . It was falling off after a few days . You can get this brush on laquer from Mackays which may be more substantial .
I've now got to take the GF's bike apart and do something else to the frame before it totally rots away . She likes it rusty though

I used some grit sandpaper over the whole frame, and then hit it with some Mothers Mag Al polish...i've been putting it on monthly and its worked like a charm, but its a bit of a hassle having to do it every month. You could try colourless anodizing!?

Oh, and wicked bike Marxist!

thanks for the advice dudes, ill try the brush on stuff and see how that holds

i have bad news, im seeing more of those unipacks round town, today a guy on a blue/yellow one with a freewheel.

The unipacks will tear us apart , again
