  • ^ would be good.

    Free this evening for a quick ride and a coffee (no beer). Managed to faint last night, probably from eating fuck loads of chocolate and drinking beer.

  • You fainted?

    I think you were just recreating the Easter miracle, except it being for 3 hours, not 3 days.

    I'm up for something this week, maybe not tonight though. Long car trip from Eastbourne to Bournemouth today and a dodgy stomach...

    Are you talking about the easter miracle where Jesus has woken up on the sofa next to 4 cans of cider and a half eaten mars bar easter egg, has a glass of water, takes a piss, walks into his bedroom and faints before getting to his bed?

  • With you on Bikelab. I've never been treated so badly in a shop in all my life. I don't know if he is still there but the tall mech (possibly Ging) was a f*cking prick.

    I once went in there and asked if the X-Lite cleaning fluid would clean my tyres. In front of the customers he became really rude asking me; 'why the hell would you want to clean your tyres?' and being quite offensive generally. I kept calm and just out talked him. I actually managed to get another customer to walk out as well who said he felt uncomfortable at the way the guy talked to me and said he'd never go there again.

    Thats not the only bad customer service I've had there. They only seem to like you if you've got no idea what your doing and they can sell you something wholley unnecessary and over-excessive for you

    Everytime I go past there I want to brick their windows. I've even had dreams about it.

    Boycott if you can! Primera every day.

  • Was riding on town on saturday and spotted a nice brakeless mercian with spinergy front wheel.
    parked up next to it by vodafone... Mine was the baby blue and cream.

    Rode calshot on sunday which was crazy... had 11 novice riders doing a scratch race at the end of the session - no idea what was going on... back again for another go in may...

  • Primera every day.
    Primera is way overpriced. Wiggle ftw, free sweeties!

  • i'm now living just outside bournemouth now - don't have a bike yet and am still pretty weak (after accident involving a lorry in london last year) but when i do am stronger i'd be up for it!

  • Spotted some guy with a green fixed about yesterday 7.30-8.00pm on a green fixed @Wallisdown roundabout.

    Awesome, keep us posted. :)

  • got rid of the charge plug now and riding a cutter, loved the plug but the cutter rules!

  • few of us heading up to ride in c.mass next friday, leaving early afternoon on train make it a ride/ride social?

  • Guffer. I saw a Plug parked up at the pedo part at the bottom of Old Christchurch Road a few weeks ago. I seem to remember it had a red chain and black unmarked hubs on Velocity. So guess it's not yours tho!

    Here's ma ride if you see me around at any stage. (I'm riding with Bournemouth Jubilee on it in the morning. They won't be too best pleased! ;))

    nice ride, and looks like a nice moment there on boscombe pier,
    lets have some more sunshine in the place, not new thread, just bikes in bournemouth and poole,
    heres one of mine i like, blue cat

  • I might as well post mine as well - This is what those in B'mouth would most likely see me riding. I don't really care about how it looks so much, or the general condition. It's good to throw around and it's been reliable...so far.

    It looks fairly big, but I've got quite a bit of seatpost showing and it's comfy in the drops. I'm only 5' 10" (33 inseam) - I'm a weird anomaly of nature I suppose. I love riding it.

    best bike in bournemouth.

  • debatable, imo his* FORT* is far slinkier...
    lucas can I borrow your geared bike for the 66 miler sunday??
    will supply with beer, cake and gratuitous electro played loud for it,
    go on you know you want to.

  • I would probably sell my soul for some beer and cakes, so it ain't no problem.

    I am away but you can pick up the bike sometime this week before hand. Gears need reindexing though, they are a bit off.

    I am assume we are still going to CM on friday?

  • ooooooooooooooooooooh yeah, trying to get some others I know to come, but sometimes faringdon-waterloo is bit far for them- gays..........
    anyway sorry i missed you guys today, mad busy after holidays, try and check you before fri-- burnt yourselves out there today or what? superb day or what!

  • nice one! 'smart car'- my arse........

  • Anywhere know where I can get a frame powdercoated around here?

  • Anywhere know where I can get a frame powdercoated around here?

    Yeah try ferndown powdercoating, I believe it's on the ind est and charge around £20.00.

  • ^

    Thanks, need to get an old carbolite pug done, £20 squids for it sounds sweet.

  • I just cycled back from Southampton and had to post about this:
    I was coming through Richmond Park towards Charminster when SMACK a car drives past, arse is stinging a bit, wtf?, chav leaning out of the window waving a massive dildo, 5 guys in the car cracking up.

    Luckily I was in a good mood and found it pretty funny so had a joke about it when I caught up with them at the next set of lights. Serves me right for wearing lycra shorts I suppose...

    Lucas, emmeff, how was Critical Mass?

  • ha --reminds me of 'lock stock.... eh' least they didnt use it as a weapon

    fun, as always. good turn out because of the weather and got talking to a few people off here. going next next month definately too.

    gutted i wasnt in town for that ride today would have been a blast on closed roads, thing about c. mass is its slow generally, except on the odd occasion.

    anyway just got back from bhf ride, 64 miler, 3.30, good spin out.

    heading out again now wanna meet poole quay, loafing...........? could ride to beach....

  • Sounds cool.

    Can't come out this afternoon, gotta work on my dissertation (meeting with supervisor tomorrow) :(

    Nice time, where was the ride?

    EDIT: Anyone up for a ride sometime this week, I'm thinking Tues/Weds/Fri?
