I have no teeth left...
Don't think that Transit Connect Vans are any less "lethal" than the full on Transit. Got clobbered a few days ago - found this site whilst healing.
Anyhow - need to get back onto a bike ASAP - got an offer of a Genesis Flyer at cycle surgery. Any opinions on how it rides compared to a pista frame?
Ta muchly,
P.S. Newbie alert......

Decent frame to start with, customise as you move along.

I'd ride one.

flyer all the way

for fuck sake, did you join the site, post "flyer all the way" in an old dead topic, then bugger off back to your mollusc shell?

Youll all be pleased to know that pistaboy now rides a dolan with phil hubs, 75 cranks, an a whole bunch of thomson parts. Its pretty blingin.

I didnt know that he got his teeth smashed by a van though!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
