Spotted in Brighton...

;) ok.
sorry I'm french... (not said that for a while!)

i think iv spoken to this lovely lady, front brake? she complimented my horrendous purple rims ones and i was rude about the use of brake, she came out with the 'im a girl though' line. standard. brake puns welcome

give them hipsters a brake..

Jack I can't believe you actually try to convince people you've just met not to use brakes.

i struggle to make conversation and resort to being a cunt

lest you try,

i worry i'd come over like a rapist.
like a bike rapist who wants to seat post your handlesbars

Jack - "They there pretty lady, why don't you ride brakeless, you might smash your face in and then I might have a chance..."

I was happy with brakeless till i snapped my chain.. once you've had that OMFGZXZXXZXZXZ moment a front brake is lovely

It took two OMFGIMGONNADIE moments for me but I got there in the end. One was on New England Rd coming down from Sevendials. Not fun.

I'm better than you all cos I wheelie everywhere and ride "gearless, freewheeless, brakeless, front wheeless and front forkless" dats da shit man!
Can't wait for my long reach brakes to come, so I can ride my posh bike around properly.

This is possibly the funniest thing I've ever read on the forum! Is it any wonder then that there are hardly any girls getting involved in riding fixed gear in Brighton? A prerequisite of mutilating yourself to make yourself less intimidating is just too much effort.

Funny, I've not heard the joke since high school.
You're the one riding a french bike while I'm on a british ;)

british what?

do you mean the create you have

or the frame that your not yet able to ride ;)

the Holdsworth I am now carefully riding with loose cranks and no brakes. :P
How's your project coming along? Will we spot you on it soon?

tim, please dont suggest i only have a chance with girls who have suffered extreme injury, sounded rather like there was some genuine venom behind that one

sorry, I've always wanted to do that haha

im missing the relevance really

no brakes and loose cranks, why thats the pinical of British engineering! did the kids in the studio below ours make your bike?

you mean my Peugeot? you've seen me on it,
my Hercules? no its never being seen its a massive job

No venom meant I promise.

I heard there was a blind school in Hove though, want to go check it out tomorrow?

im out of moisturiser, when they feel my face theyll assume theyve just come across a misshapen old shop hoarding coated in decaying posters of dubstep nights

Do a handstand, then they'll just think you have a big nose...

yes graeme, they actually lent me a socket spanner to tighten the crank bolt, still loose though. Can't really blame them though, they do know what they're doing, they just like tea more than students, which I can understand.

Spotted 7:30 Brighton Beach heading to hove someone riding what can only be described as a red farm gate
with matching red tyres and some SWEET looking chrome bars
and i thought sebs bikes were silly big...

Spotted Tenderloin twice this afternoon...once on the beach near worthing & then again near Portslade when he passed me as I was crawling down a hill (only been riding fixed for 2 weeks, not got the hang of stopping quickly yet...
