Welcome

Dunno why it says all that other crap!!!
what it was meant to say was

Hi all,
iv been a lurker, and now have decided to take the plunge and join up! just started riding around london. got me a sad looking elswick, but im doing my best to get her up to speed. so with the help of some very kind friends iv made it single speed and stopped a couple of embarrassing rattles!!! anyways hope to see ye all on the road and hope i wont be struggling too far behind!!!

Ha true that! but it was more an attempt to make it look like i was working to my boss and not slacking off!!! but ill keep it mind in future ;)
