I'm going to Ukraine and Chernobyl soon...
My gf is nuts about nuclear power (like really likes the physics behind it) and i'm crazy about fauna and flora's power over man.
hire a car, and beg the govt to allow us in.

looking forward to it immensely.

One of my best mates went to Chernobyl in 2002/3 to work on this Documentary:

http://www.hbo.com/docs/programs/chernobylheart/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0396959/

They were the first western film crew allowed into the actual site - he has some pretty gnarly stories about it, and the shit he saw making the film has pretty much fucked him up for life.

They ran in to serious problems with the local authorities when out there, despite having government permission to go in, and several of the crew got radioactive poisoning.

If you can find it, watch the documentary, its incredibly hard going and very disturbing, but lifechanging shit.

Why shouldn't you wear Ukrainian underpants?

Because Chernobyl fallout!

:D

Yo can watch the Documentary here . .

Why shouldn't you wear Russian underpants?

Because Chernobyl fallout!

:D

Gem.... although Chernobyl is in the Ukraine.

Gem.... although Chernobyl is in the Ukraine.

there is no 'the' before Ukraine.
My gfs mom told me off for like an hour because of that.

It sould be called Ukrainia anyway...

Austrians come from Austria, therefore Ukranians come from Ukrania.

My friend also worked on this, Return to Chernobyl - they actually go inside the Powerstation

Spent three minutes pronouncing this wrong, spent 10 minutes cleaning up the cornflakes I spilt when I pronounced it correctly. Bravo

Gem.... although Chernobyl is in the Ukraine.

Also most of the fallout landed in Belarus.

Perhaps Soviet Underpants?

Had completely forgotten about I posted this on FGG, was my ride a few years back, got it's very first run out on the Dunwich Dynamo.

slack chain etc

chain doesnt look slack to me really
looks a nice tension

Love the white lugs & Saddle and bar tape combo. Nice Work.

There's a story somewhere (I thought it was on that site, but looking again I can't see it tonight... anyway, maybe it's one of them urban myths) the guys drafted in to clean up after the incident had been offered a choice - do one small task at the chernobyl site (amounting to a few minutes work), or spend 2 years in Afghanistan fighting. What a choice.

Sorry to say but this is fake trust me I know.

oh and I am off out there next year/ possibly end of this year

Going back off topic with the pripyat stuff, this is a great site i found a couple of years ago on the subject: http://26-04-1986.com/

Could this bizarre mix of frame + wheels be worse than the recent pista sale?

Rollin on 28's though?

I hadn't seen this thread so had a little rethrough and just to derail once more that Chernobyl Heart documentary is heart breaking. We test a group of Belarussian kids' eyes at work everyyear as part of the programme some of them get onto. Terrible event.

Different - making your own carbon frame
