Did I see you carrying this through the link between the two halves of Central station around Christmas?

You have a good appetite though, by the look of things ;^)

HA! Yeah. (Most phallic photo ever.)

i was born in Canterbury, but i used to live in Herne Bay. You should go there if you feel like killing yourself!

Haha...I do want to go to Herne Bay sometime, (I'm thinking Spring!) though maybe not via bicycle.

650c wheels?

How many spokes in that rear?

and slack chain. But very shiny!

how many spokes in that rear?

144.

Radial lacing on the drive side.

Not very strong at all.

Oh, wait . . .

Try to break it.
It has 144 radial with a thick brick up front too now. The wheel wasn't finished yet when I took the pics.

Wow, lacing that must take some patience.

Holy Crap, Mick is going to jizz his pants once he sees post #9610

It drives you insane. You can only center it with a screwdriver. The sopkes are too close together for using the spoke tool.

yea, thats me

here are my bikes and face.

genesis flyer is only just arrived with me, is pretty much as received, except swapped pedals and clips for better ones, and stuck a 17t cog on the other side of the hub from the 18th freewheel it shipped with, and flipped it.

other bike is a conversion i did from an old dawes road bike 9 months ago for my first go at riding fixed. i know the chain is slack, keep meaning to lose a link.
