Charge Plug

Mate, I saw you on Commercial Road in the Shoreditch area yesterday. Your bike looks wicked. I was on my blue "ford mondeo" plug. I am getting a bit narked seeing 2/3 identical bikes a day! I am planning to put some White wheels on, maybe a white chain too. Maybe even a white saddle and bars... Make it a bit different.

I locked it to one of those 'sandpaper lampposts' on Oxford street yesterday and came back and some cunt had obviously pushed it I'd knocked it and there are some massive scratches on the top tube. Might even get it resprayed/painted. How much would that cost??

Not me mate!! ;-) I think that might be Dammit's bike - think his is a Plug racer with straights on. I actually wanted chromed bars with it but you don't seem to be able to get them off the shelf, so I'll either have to get some aluminium straights (which won't be as shiiiiiny!!) or drag a set of steel bars off an old bike and get them chromed. But that will be spenny and it's purely cosmetic, so I'm in no rush - still getting the feel of the bike for now. And getting my fitness up too. I got badly trousered going up through Greenwich Park last night!! Was tailing another single-speeder all through New Cross and Greenwich quite happily, hit the hill through the park and could only stay with him for the first third of the hill, was badly losing ground from there all the way to the top, where we went separate ways. And I don't think he was trying. I know... HTFU. I'm trying, ok!! ;-)
