Aberdeen riders?

just thought i'd say hi , i'm from just outside aberdeen and stick to urban riding in inverurie so far , i currently ride an alfine hub , so not fixed or single speed , looking for an old steel framed bike though , but no hurry , just see what turns up

Slaloming 30-strong groups of pished freshers in the rain is a pain in the bum.

Saw a purple Charge ss chained up outside M&S yesterday on the way for some coffee.

White SE lager outside M&S today. Also guy on conversion coming down Union St this morning approx 08.25 - said hello - which is nice

My build is taking alot longer than I'd planned! Turns out next to nothing from my other bikes will fit. Perhaps I was a touch ignorant coming into this and didn't realise even the seatpost width would be different on the old frame compared to my more modern one. Will I be able to pick up a 1" post somewhere in town or will this be an ebay job?

Don't suppose anyone has a crank removal tool I could borrow?

becycle is open tomorrow until 6pm

-its an open bycicle workshop with loads of spare parts also. ill be there finishing of my raleigh 1speed.

I'm up & running now! Taking a bit of getting used to. Brakeless at the mo till I can face spending more money on the bike. It's all black so give me a shout if any of you see me (likey around Aberdeen uni campus or union st).
Bumped into a guy in Edinburgh Cycles on Sunday - who was it? Had a quick chat about this place & Becycles.

Aye, that was me, a very quick chat, was in a rush that day. you''ll be the boy with the big arms eh?

Sup everybody!! Dude with the fuji track with risers and green grips! Soon to get some massive upgrades, new rims arrived today, my new dia compe hubs won't be lonely for much longer! It's badass to see how this thread has grown, and since my last post i've met a few of you :)

Me and Daniel/greeni from becycle wanna get something started, some sort of meet but we're not really sure what! Of course there's the thursday night rides, but we want something fixie and singlespeed specific... i want a pub crawl lol!! Ideas guys!!

Other than that we've got a fun night at Transition Extreme planned for the end of the month with some art and other urban cycling related things along with the British premier of the film VEER!

Blue and white Fuji Track with black bullhorns locked up outside Waterstones on Union St just 15 mins ago - another new one on me.

Met Old Gold and friend (owner of blue Onza) briefly the other night on Little Belmont - as I left them a dude whizzed by me on a white single speed - maybe the SE Lager I've seen...

Bendudenhoffer - let me know if you sort a fixed/ss meet up out - cheers

Finally got the bike as I want it.....

I like that a lot.

Off White/Cream coloured Puch road conversion with blue Deep V style rims, spoke cards, chop n flop bullhorns with blue tape, locked outside the Church on Union St

He's new here, from hungary, full on "hipster", met him outside ASDA touching my handlebars. seems cool.

i spotted him today. i mean the actual guy. cool

That is a nice looking bike!

Soggy Rollie and I have also bumped into this chap on our George St. travels. Quite a character.

hi!
This is my scruffy singlespeed beater I built at becycle. Bright colours and all just to fit with my matching neon green raybans.
Not the smoothest ride but takes me to town.

Think your on to a winner...

We are hosting an alley cat the Halloween. If you want to come along and have a laugh and help support Scottish Couriers with a small enterance fee, you are more than welcome. Get in touch and we can try and sort out a sofa.

Get yourself involved.

Cheers for the comments! Bmxconan - thanks for the brake, works a treat! (you been getting my PMs?)
