  • Spotted a black create (I think) with red rims and a little reg plate hanging from the back of the seat on a small chain in piccadily gardens yesterday.

    Black/purple bike with metalic bluey purple deep V's locked up outside piccadilly station today.

  • Think I may have spotted voidcore today, based on pic of his bike few pages back.

    Black Fuji track with black deep rear wheel and some carbon front wheel, bullhorns. Guy riding had a beard. Black Fuji track looks much better than my ugly grey and black one.

  • Spotted some hipster chief in PF with a white conversion, brake lever and caliper but no cable, and no foot retention, complanbed that ste as able to skid because his "pedals go backwards". gonna get himself killed

  • RobSlow that was me but for some reason i went all shy at the traffic lights!

    also spotted the hipster chief and indeed the difference between our bikes was that "your levers move backwards" levers being cranks and the moving part being backpedaling

  • Yeah, thought it was you, Id seen the black fuji a few pages back, didnt say Hi, incase you told me off for no foot retention :P I was also a bit puffed, didnt want to look like an amateur, huffing and puffing if you had been following me up past the union effortlessly after I'd been caining myself around 30mph to prove a point to 2 traffic cone weaving douchebags that obstructed me at the precinct lights then ran a few (non-safe) reds, I had to prove they gained nothing.

  • haha i was knackered too trying to keep up, altho i did think jesus i would not go that fast with no foot retention!

  • Where have all the Rory threads gone? now we will never know the answers :(

  • I normally have foot retention but about a month ago I got knocked off in rusholme by some un-insured scumbag (didnt you notice my rear wheel wobble :P) and needed to ride easy for a bit so swapped the Look Keo's over to my road bike, then lost my 8mm key and cant get them back off :P

  • yeah where have they gone? I came loking when I read yer text. I can give answers!

  • has Chan moderated them all away?!

  • oh no, does that mean terrible things were written?!

  • swapped the Look Keo's over to my road bike, then lost my 8mm key and cant get them back off :P

    Do Keo's not take spanners? 15mm should do the trick - ideally a proper pedal spanner but a normal one has done the job in the past with care on my older Looks.

  • oh no, does that mean terrible things were written?!
    if only you knew...

  • oh no, does that mean terrible things were written?!

    No i guess he just got rid of the threads cos they were taking up space and he is a spoilsport

    Not sure, but this again doesnt help, unfortunatelly I've lost all but my 6mm key and pump (So I hope I dont get any bad punctures which require the rear wheel to be removed). My gf is moving into my appartment so im thinking my bike sh*t is mixed in with her stuff all boxed up, could be in my flat, her flat or in a carboard box.

    Will find the tools soon enough, going to buy some different pedals and straps so I can ride in whatever shoes im going to wear for the rest of the day. Carrying spare shoes, or strategically leaving shoes around the place is frustrating.

  • Emma on her orange fixie cruising down upper brook street on her way to work.

    Have you registered as emmarose on the forum?

    Sorry for being so brief, woke up half an hour before work started hence the hyper pedalling!

  • Spotted - Ben and Woody on a sesh at SB last night. Sorry I couldn't of stayed longer, but I can't keep up with you kids, especially on a school night.

  • spotted a guy on that gbh bike that was being sold, the curved seat stay one.

    also a guy on a white create, slick back hair some tatoos fixed front brake no foot retention, told him to get foot retention, he said 'i dont need it mind your own business' said i was just looking out for him so he could stop properly.

  • dont mind him, some people just dont wanna be helped.

    spotted adam (i think, memorys kinda shit) outside tesco market st, grey cannondale.

  • spotted,
    everybody in paris riding with no brakes or retention.
    spotted,
    me yelling do a skid in both french and english and getting nothing but blank looks (except 2 guys who knowingly smiled but did bollock all anyway).
