Nice. Greetings from Chester...

first day on- new boy signin in! howdy

Just joined this forum. Really looking forward to getting my single speed - should get it in 1 month - having it built by 14 bike co in Spitalfields as I was so pleased with the road bike that they built for me earlier in the year.

I am after a 440mm bullhorn bar - does anyone know where I can get one? Prefer polished/chrome. but painted will do. thanks

I am based in central Lonon if anyone has one for sale. Cheers

Hi guys, it's good to be here.

Hi,
I'm on Long Island, New York, in the USA. I joined londonfgss because some photos of various bikes in my collection appeared here.
I wanted to claim credit for the photos.

I have a theory about carbon fiber bikes. Carbon fiber is a composite material, as is Glass Fiber. Why not perfect the Fiberglass Bicycle, before trying to build a Carbon Fiber bicycle?

The result is a bike with a single large diameter frame tube. No lugs for the tubes to come un-bonded from.

Another total Noob here. Just bought my first road bike. Not been on one since my racer aged 16. mine isnt even a fixed or ss however the bitch slapping here seems to be of a far higher quality than the other forums around and also more of a community if one isnt a total cock.

i shall leave it to you to judge the quality of my cockness and await the pasting.

honest and refreshing.. that and i fking love

which photos man?

Fiberglass is brittle and heavier than carbon fiber, but easier to work with.. I can see the benefit over Alu or Steel as it has more flex than Alu (and it's close to steel) but you also have the effect humidity has on glass fibers, i am sure this can be manufactured out but that would surely complicate the build process.
you seen a bike made from fibre glass over the pond?

Hello I'm a language school student in brighton.

Is there some on ride in Brighton?

This is the bike known as NFA Vehicles Type 9. Also known as Fiberglass Ladies Bicycle by Mellisa Manning.
Type 9 was designed by my Daughter and built by myself. It is a semi-recumbent, and a utility bike.

I could write pages about this bike, but I'll just say that in general, if one wants to introduce a new bike design, it should have only one new device or inovation. This bike has too many features and leaves people bewildered. Features include:
Semi-recumbent seat- We wanted to make this bike easily adaptable to an Electric Moped.
Fiberglass- Unusual, but if I get around to it, I could just as well put Carbon Fiber in the mold and get a CF bike.
Fairing- Why not make the fairing so it has cargo capacity, or room for batteries if I add a hub-motor? Also, I like the protection. A little extra protection if a car cuts me off.
Anyway, I sold this bike for twelve hundred American Dollars (450% profit) . It was designed by my Daughter, which ends a long-standing argument as to whether a girl can design a bike.

^^ this gotta be a piss take.

Everybody take a wild guess on which thread this bike was featured!

Hi chaps, slow to catch on to this community. I don't have a fixed gear bike, I think they're pretty cool, but I've just gotten back into urban cycling and trying to build up more stamina, skill and better reactions before trying out a fixie. I hope having gears won't upset too many users if I turn up for some of the London rides. Seems like a fun community, hopefully see you out there. :)

Hello people! waves

Got into biking to get to work and uni but have got a bit hooked :D currently living in southampton but originally from scotland.

From one end to the other! Hello :D

Please read this, follow the rules, and the forum should just about get on well with you, providing you don't overpost like I did! :P

Hi. I ride a grey fuji and I just put look keo pedals on it and almost immediately fell off (been riding spds for a thousand years or so). Tomorrow's commute is going to be fun.

Shame I didn't join this thing here earlier as that bridges ride looked all sorts of fun. Next time.

Anyway, hi.
