Spotted in Birmingham...

who's is the bike i always see locked up by the bull with the all over frame sticker job?

could be mine. what frame is it?

or mine, mine's singlespeed with risers but used to be with bullhorns, charge plug frame, radial front.

Saw a blue track frame running singlespeed with risers and what looked like gold deep vs by the bull.

Saw someone on a classic raleigh track frame wearing a pink bobble hat in the bullring this morning, think it may have been Gav.

Yup. Me.

Sham it was almost sold but complications called it off... I am however very happy to still have it. It's a real nice piece of history even if it is a bit beat!

Saw a green frame with white/cream panels and a brooks this morning on broad street. Rider was wearing some very fetching black leggings.

Green frame blasting down Hagley Road this morning in Quinton

saw someone on digbeth with a sweet deep V yellow rim on the rear. had bullhorns too. loved the back wheel though.

I saw Fin this morning travelling up the Pershore Road into town... i was on the return leg home to Digbeth from a gruelling run. Not sure if you realised it was me....

Saw a chap on a white steel frame with pink deep v's on it at the corner of stoney lane & highgate road.

It was during the massive sleety blizzard, (thursday 18th feb). I was travelling into the blizzard (face getting very cold & wet) he was travellign away from it but looked similarly pained by the weather.

I think Ive seen this chap before, on 50 route from city centre to balsall heath.

i saw someone on a fixie yesterday, wow man awesome

probably shouldnt have shouted his name out of the car though, probably confused the hell out of him

Saw a mad CHROME plated Mercedes SL on stratford rd today. Someone that kinda looked like big dan went past after, big fellow on a fixie with messenger bag.

That CHROME Mercs is such a piece of crap it is untrue.
Plus it's less Chrome plated and more Vinyl plated... just like Black cabs that aren't black.

The driver, he's a footballer I think. Just goes to show doesn't it - money cannot buy taste.

On a car tip. This makes me want to piss:

Is that even real? Looks like a computer render.

real as real can be man.

saw a couple of fellas riding through sutton park towards town gate earlier, and got a very cheery smile from the second. I had the red bike and stern look after 10 miles into the wind..

I saw a convoy of bikes (one fixed) going through town this evening, about 19:15. One of the front bikes had speakers attached to a trailer on the back of his bike. Who are these people? It looked amazing!

critical mass?

yes this be critical mass. 1st friday of every month, 6pm at the cathedral (pigeon park).

where do they ride? for how long?

if you google it you'll get more info - theres a yahoo group for the birmingham one that usually had pictures on, so you may find something like that. They tend to be disorganised rides following whoever is at the front, and just getting in the way of traffic for an hour or so to remind motorists that cyclists exist. Or that may be the theory..

i was the one with the cheery smile....

Red conversion, Brookes saddle, drops - Locked up outside Island Bar last night.. Anyone's on here?

A friendly chap on a Fuji track bike asked me today if I'd been on this forum, just as i was unlocking my plug racer. I think he said his name was Finn (?), I introduced myself as Richard, although I've no idea why since nobody has called me by that name in about a decade. I was pretty rude I think (I'm actually just really shy with new people), so I'm sorry mate! Are you on here?

EDIT: This happened by the bull btw

that's hyperallah

Hi mate,not offended at all. If you haven't used richard in ages what do you go by?
Not sure but i might have seen you off pershore road (manila, fashoda?) back in november. I live on pershore.
