Yeah, changed my mind though, can't be arsed. Raw materials are about £300 only, plus about 100 hours of time.

Journalism fail though. The frame is only(!) £1625, not £2175, and obviously you can get a decent gruppo for like £400, so it's more like £2000. Still, I can't afford to buy one of these in any case. Here is the newest model, looks much more bling than that piece of shit.

Still looks a bit shit though IMO

Obviously, it's got Shimano on it. :P

it would look really shit with sram on then

looks better than the ES one, which seems to be masking taped together.
you must be exceedingly rich/stupid to own one of these.............

Anyway I will be this afternoon's ride on my mountain bike due to waking up and having an almighty pain in my knee ... I don't want to leave too late because I would like to get to my favourite teashop before it shuts.

looking more like trail riding in the dark tonight as practice for sat night race guys.
enoy the wind,,...... be up for a bourgeoise coffee first wit ya though

Jason the last line doesn't make any sense.

summer ride-out is in order, somewhere close so the b'mth lot will come too.
ride,food, drink, ride, jump in sea after hacking it back race style.
on/after 18 july---whos in?

some training for next IOW which is in sept I think?

yo. spotted someone riding no hands on a (possibly) blue (possibly) fixed bike past that huuuuuge pile of sand on boscome beach last thursday evening. any of you chaps? (apologies for the vagueness, beers may or may not have been involved...hah)

I was talking to Luke about doing IoW again in the next couple of weeks if you're interested?

yeah keep me in the know no rides sc-heduked now for a bit apart from everyday stuff and beach, be good 18th/19th?
@miss socks, you been lured by that new singing- dancing- juice- beer- watch the non existant surf- bar -place?

aah, it was a mate's birthday, so i had no choice in the matter!! none of that was there last time i was down, and i find that whole bit totally weird in bosvegas! hah.

bosvegas! ha, like it. sometimes go to cafe boscanova, good food and drink and people watching. theres some proper rough and ready sorts round there to be sure.
beach wise- im strictly a canford cliffs man--too far off bournemouth, no need for sandbankers to go there-therefore quiet

spotted! guy on fixed Alpina getting off train at Poole 0907 this morning..................you?

Had fun on the way home, tonight I had a bunch of chavs in renault clio behind me giving me shit.

After calling them a bunch of wankers .... I had 4 chavvies get out of the car.... I prompted get off the bike and walk up to the biggest fat chavvy bastard, I square the fucker up (I had some beers give me the confidence) and tell him if he wants some he has got some ... this was probably not the best idea under a fly-over with not a soul about. Luckily for me a copper car cruises by and they promptly fuck off with me disapearing up a side alley.

Close Call..... WHAT A BUTCH OF CUNTS.

I was well up for some violence after that but I had a orange squash instead when I got home.

wow , after that didnt you feel like some dragons blood?

orange juice mixed with ribena, lovely.

I had calmed down by the end of Ashley road... and enjoyed the run down Dorchester Road back to home.

Taking my bike down BJs to get the bottom bracket shell cut deeper and I should have the pug ready to go shortly.

Need to find myself some brakes pads that work with those old mafacs and I am sorted.

Hey guys i'm from Bournemouth, just getting into fixies and ss bikes, looking to build one for my mere student budget of £200, which i hope is possible. Any recommendations as to where to look? Hope to be out soon.

Bjs and Bournemouth Mountain bike centre are good shops.
