Brick Lane Bikes, summed up in one exchange

there was a man who hated law
twas because he was very poor,
So he took up in arms against the grievous charms
Of the Brick Lane bicycle store

Today I went to shop fourteen
The bird working there is a queen
I like brick lane bikes
but the chicks are all dykes
Shame theres not one in between.

You wanna hope monique doesn't read that!

"Other bike shops are available, including the excellent 14 very nearby"

Yep. Would have been worth the 5 minute walk. I think it was reasonable of me to buy vaguely labelled stuff based on Jan's word, on the assumption that he was telling the truth, but meh we're getting bogged down in the detail. The whole situation wouldn't have arisen in a decent bike shop, or even a shitty one like the one I used to work in - we wouldn't sell stuff that was poorly labelled, and we wouldn't mislead customers when asked specific questions even if it meant losing a sale. BLB are total hucksters and I can't believe they're still in business. The only reason I went was because it was en Hipster Spice Route, anyway if this topic has been done to death before I'll happily watch this thread sink.

fixed.

There once was an Aussie called Balki
who spent all his life on the web
he'd type and he'd type
all manner of tripe
but at least the bastard got his own thread which is more than can be said of other people on the forum who day after day provide really useful information and contribute to the cycling community in countless ways without ever getting the thanks they deserve let alone green rep points (back when we had green rep points) alki.

If i recall correctly you had your own thread sunshine.

I was being satirical. If it was up to me the whole forum would be renamed after you. As would London itself. Balkitown; it has a ring.

Don't mention his ring

That sounded more snide than was intended.

If it was up to me, there would be a whole town named after you too.

ha

double ha!

Shit, I bumped this shit thread.

For the record I was only rhyming. Cute girls in there too.

Also cute blokes. And their service is good. And wear a fucking helmet. And use hubs with many, many holes. And fucking call your mums you cunts.

Little late with the limericks but had to share this gem:

Surely by shaking the bottle you can tell how thick it is?

Bad advice from the shop but i if i gave you 2 bottles, both blacked out, one full of cola or your favourite soft drink, the other full of spunk, you'd know the difference.

Fiesty One You Are

feisty? Or just desperate?

the spunk wouldnt be bubbling when you drank it? not a mistake you'd make a second time I imagine..
*fyi, this is not a mistake I've made first either, but i've never been given a bottle of jizz

Have'nt heard many good things about BLB.I wanted a pair of Velocity V's on Dura Ace.But i won't go there.Have to think of an alternative wheel set up i can purchase some where else.

same one in cavendish

That makes me feel sick. There's a lot of things that don't. But this is one of the very few... ew.

just go to blb, nothing wrong with them - it's just a bike shop. get a price for your wheels and if its too high compared to other places then well... you know what to do next
