I'm thinking just put a grip on the steerer tube, then I roll cigarettes with the other hand. And think of the weight save...

On a side note The Wild Geese is one of my favorite movies - no way Burton, Moore, Harris and Co would have ridden a motherfunkin Snowflaked HPlus Son

Greasy Slag. I know you're on line. In the cold light of date, don't be too hard on me.
You know what. Despite my reservations (like: what if I buy a frame and can't get a decent BB because the threads are not current etc etc). I'm going to build.
Ha! i had a shit news day yesturday that got my back up and very glad i removed the last 5 lines of my post - i was getting pissed at these threads asking for opinions (too vague and shows no research) and not questions (shows thought and gets useful responses etc) but it's a personal thing
A good woman helps sort your head out..
and as it turns out i had a brainwave!One of her editors has built up an old fold-up shopper bike for his missus, she can't be bothered to ride it and he now can't leave it alone. it's by far and away the best thing i have seen in a long time.
So i figured you need a bike that 1. Isn't likely to be stolen 2. Get onto public transport and 3. carries weight..
It's perfect! in fact it's better than perfect. getting a full size bike on a train is a pain in the ass and pushing about is just annoying, it should only be done in around hoxton where the application of skinny jeans means you stride is dramatically reduced thus reducing pedal strike on your legs.
it has baskets/panniers so you don't get a hot back etc etc it's not a desirable item, it's cheap as you like and it can even be taken insideit would also look wicked pimped up.. you could really go to town.
Tynan did a great job on one a while a go but i can't find the image!

Awesome. I'm bidding. No one else dare. I'll look so good on this with my M&S beige elasticated-top slacks rolled to my lily white hairless calf.

You can whip that off. you should also look for 20" BMX mag wheels, keep it freewheel and stick some cut down risers on it. man that would rock! i am seriously thinking about selling my BMX and building one for the "missus"

Get NOS Skyway Graphites to ensure that the price of the wheels is massively disproportionate to the rest of the bike of course.

that or stick on some Stuns in day glow orange and keep the bike that nice green.. stunt pegs and a shopping basket.. GET IN

Ha . . maybe i should add i am in no way sugesting that a folder with carbon wheels would make a good bike for you!
However i think Greasy and me might be about to enter into a 20inch biker build off
Lol
