Spotted in Manchester...

or padded bib tight and leg warmers...

5 fixed gears in the space of about 5 minutes on Oxford road/Dickenson road.

1 brakless blue Dolan with bullhorns and white forks, coming out of Jimbos take-away on Dickenson.
1 Genesis Flyer with bullhorns and a brake going down Hall Road.

3 conversions with both brakes, riden by what seemed to be roadies out for some winter training. One Person, on Benotto.

one fucking TERRIFYING conversion. Hugely large frame (60cm+), no brakes, unwrapped risers, no foot retention. Green, locked up with all the other bikes opposite the Academy on the Oxford road. Jesus, sort that shit out!

Also, has anyone seem the all black bike with hugely wide and low moustache bars and neon green deep v wheels? Weird. Only ever seen it locked up by the Uni, never ridden.

are you sure the rims arn't Halos? cos i cant remeber the name of the kid that rides that, buit he lives in tower (in the room that i lived in, odly enough)
pretty sound guy, came to an alleycat

Spotted: Chans bike outside Xmas market?

Fixed rider on an all black bike ploughing through the crowds by market street met stop as I got off and pushed my Fuji like a wimp :D

Who's the fixie rider who lives opposite my on Goulden Road? blue fixed, no foot retention? saw you psuhign your bike along today and i made a half-assed attempt to stop and say something but didnt...

Just simple ones that give like, the cantgoslo blog, this forum, the polo blog. Basic information?

Would that not be pretty useful for involving people in our rad fixxie kulture?
