Nursery for New Members

Who's sark? Not the guys on here. They love everyone! If you play by the rules :-)

Hey hey, anyone here planning on doing the Brighton alley cat in the new year?

Hi! I finally signed up after using this site to help with my single speed mtb build, the next build will be a fixed gear conversion following a few taster sessions at the Manchester Velodrome - will be posting in the projects thread later :-)

sounds good..

Hi all, first post here, been using the forum for info for ages, very helpful. got several bikes in bits at the mo, after a trip to the classifieds and a bit of work will hopefully get some pics uploaded

Hi there. Stumbled across this site in the hunt for new wheels as the royal fail lost mine ( or thieved really ). Im up in sunny edinburgh and have a old Dawes galaxy.

Hey VB! Will new members be told this is what is happening to them, when they sign up, and will they be sent through any sort of FAQ, etiquette, type email/link so they can become fully fledged sarcastic, pisstaking members of our forum, without some of the character scorching that has taken place in the past...

yes

hello all

I have a confession to make... I use gears shock I love them. Whether a pine cone one tooth difference or an off-road set for days when Im 'not cycling', I love to zip through them

Currently have five bikes left

Peugeot 653 road bike with 3x8 Campag , Shamals and Spinachi (for the Alps when I get some cash together)
Paganini with Mavic TT rig Campag 2x8
Saracen 531 2x7 for hacking round town (with taped-in bar-end shifters)
Specialised Hard Rock for days when Im not cycling (XT top changers grin)
Claude Butler on the Rollerturbo trainer (which Im not using)
(and various bits.. lots of MA40 wheels etc)

I *so *prefer cycling in the rain round my city than being trapped on public transport.

I might be up for that.. will it be a chain gang or mixed ability?

geared or not it doesn't matter, it's all about enjoying the ride.

Guys, only joined to try and find the owner of a stolen fixed Pug...Job done (by other means) but thought I would hang around and see what's going on!
Ride a Kona Paddy Wagon too and from work....and unfortunately a CB Rock at work...need to get that changed!

Based in the London Suburb of Peterborough

Just joined, looking forward the bridges ride on the 9th!

get yourself over to the House Music Thread.

Hiya Ziska, I know this is late, but anything to promote compass drinks esp Easts. Please come through!!! Amazing group all of them. Blue Quinn and Somebody will gladly take you under their wings like they did for me!

Wont be there tonight personally as overtime has bitten my scanky ass. But please go to easts! Its winter and a warm drink in hand and good company is always needed!

Everyone on here should go to compass drinks, join us for some forum rides and in general, realise that this forum is only a spring board to something much much deeper. The people on here are amazing, varied, and very interesting. And likewise will welcome you in like a long lost family member.

On my first one, i went to the bar and asked barmaid for the cyclists. She gave me a beaming smile and pointed to a small gathering outside hooting and hollowering. The staff of any of the pubs that the compass drinks frequent will know LFGSS very well.

Cheers for the nudge - when I'm back from NZ i'll pop by for sure.
You'll all be happy to know its beautifully hot over here and the beach is only 15min ride away. BAH.

After reading through this site I really regret getting rid of my old frames. Had a custom built Arthur Caygill and Aende frames, and a lovely Concorde frame...all would have been convertible too fixed...Bugger

Like this one.

mm Nice Has it's own cycle club too.

Have a bottle of The MACALLAN, Laphroaigh and a bottle of Lindisfarne Mead. All will be keeping me company over the next few nights!
