Welcome

Any one know an Alan expert

I have an Alan alu carb frame and haven't a clue??

Hello, world, from a Birmingham-based newb. I am new both to the forum and to the FG/SS world, but this site has already proved to be a valuable resource, so - thanks!

Hi All

I am new - I will probably be shunned though as my bike has 24 gears! I only joined up as I wanted to thank a cyclist who tried to help me with my broken chain this morning. Seems I need to wait 24 hours though!

Why not get another bike, Roaders? Just think of all those visitors to whom you have to lend bikes. (That was one of my first excuses, anyway.) :)

Welcome.

Hi, 2nd of my 3 posts to start

bicicletta666, please read the first post in this thread first:

I think that oliver is being very gentle.

Please consider what you type in your first post. Having a second post with something trivial does not look good.

Hiya!

I'm Joe and have been riding single speed on a mended dawes frame that was my granddads for a while now, but fancy having a play around with fixed soon as I need new wheels following a freak buckle of the back wheel and it just looks so fun! so i thought i'd join in here.

Other than bikes I like playing drums and taking pictures (http://heavisides.tumblr.com if you're interested - shameless, i know!)

thanks!

Hello, just finished my Bob Jackson Vigorelli build which is my second fix. Will hopefully add some pics to the projects thread soon.

Hi all,
I'm new to the idea that bikes are more than something your mom buys for you when you're a kid and to be honest I don't understand half the sh!t you guys are talking about but damn-it! I wanna learn.
Cheers
Scott

hi, and neither do we

Where is can haz faecebuk?

In that case, I ride a grimley widowmaker with a spring fix sprocket, a crapper saddle, wingtip doodle-nikky and a slaphound winkle pusher. Oh, and my wheels are hexagonal - i like the vibration...

You'll be just fine Scott, just fine son. Is it the Widowmaker with the softtail bush, the pre '74 model that Hertzelspepper won the Lumley étape on?

Nice whip if so.

oops...forgot to quote above...

Actually, I opted for the Brazilian instead of the softtail bush. Less abrasive.

Blew out the tyre in my old 2nd hand mountain bike and decided to upgrade.

Looking at getting a SE lager in the next couple off weeks, hope my knees hold up!

Controversial. You heard it here first kids.

Yo , Yo, Newby Greenback here.

Soon to have an '09 Dolan Track Champion to my name.
Typically more of a steel butted fan, but nonetheless looking forward to building this brute !
Get me out of this nursery please !

No really. I want out.

Ha ha , thanks Chainbreaker now I don't feel so awkward.

Once upon a time I had a Benotto road from the mid 80's which confused me immensely because I thought they were Italian but turns out they moved production to Mexico, which explains why mine was stamped with a 'tour of Venezuela' decal. Silver soldered butted Columbus it was real nice. So I ran it into the ground commuting from Old St to Richmond. shame, it was probably worth a bit.
Hence I need a fixie !

This shop recently opened below where I live. Thoroughly approve of what he's doing bringing some bike culture to the hood >>> for all your vintage steel needs. Enjoy !
