Spotted in Brighton...

I spotted a few people riding fixies at the EDL counter demo in town yesterday, anybody on here?

I was watching the commotion briefly in the laines quite late in the day. In that pub just up from mash tun.

who rides a bike with bull horn bars with b's on the end caps and one of them 80's bike bags that attach via the down tube and top tube. in the corner like,

it was just outside topshop

Hello fellow' Brightonandsurroundingareasincludingshorehamonsea' Forum and fixed/singlespeed freewheel users.

Replied and responded due to above 'texter' having spotted a bike with bullhorns with the letter 'B' encapsulated within the Barend cap. Probably mine. White Flier few years old running some profile BullHorns 39*14 which equates to the Early Sevenities on the inchilator a heavy old 3/22 chain and one Trial front Brake.

 Despite having access to a few other more genourously geared bikes I would say that this is possibly my favourite and most well used. Has to do the work round from Shoreham to Brighton and back again. Under 19 mins to Kemp town from Russian Concrete Shoreham footbridge. Its a nice bike, Stiff enough with a the suppleness of a sleeping catfsh. Using some £7.95 25mm Zaffiro slicks. A little like wearing a moleskin johny? Though fast enough with 100% puncture resistant. 

As to me riding with an 80's bike bag? How dare you? and outside topshop? Who do you think I am?

Seem to be a few of the Fixie Cartel That I come across recently? though none of them seem very fit? and occasional bikes that I think may belong to the clowns at Zippos Circus?
Very slow person on blue Pearson single at bottom of Portslade dip. Man with hair resembling a cumulous rain cloud heading South for the winter

Thanks for the chat?
Will keep you informed of my future single and fixed stalking.,

its true it had some 80s style triangle bag on it, i saw it, it was there

Hello triangular 80's storage bag devotees,

Good Morning Graeme,

Thanks for your quick 'fried egg and bacon' on your apparent spotting of a triangulated storage receptacle , possibly in some way linked with the 80's which was apparently attached/ triangulated between what I presume to be the junction of my smooth seatpost and lengthy crossbar?

Will naturally have to take issue with this 'Wham' bag ever being attached to my 'juncture' and would suggest it is your deep seated overwhelming love of the eighties which has impinged on your Graeme soaked reality, this spiral permed manifestation showing itself in hallucinations where everything has an 80's slant or Ester Rantzen carrot bent. I bet when you walk into the newsagent you see Shaking Stevens in a silver lame flaire archaeopteryx fantasy firework lsd explosion.

Saw a man with awhite chain today (Can you get white oil)

Keep Frantic

What are you Megalolz'ing about?
A white chain looks like this when it's got fresh white lube:

Bah pathetic intervention, sorry, I'll get my coat...

looks shit, because its a half link chain and will inevitability fail at the first hurdle.

Well Graeme is officially a chav ;) leaving "us" to go to Stockport and all. Congrats by the way!
I'll be watching the Manchester "spotted" thread, hehe.

i rock a white chain

only cos they didn't have normal and otherwise i'd be rideless. but its cool, i'm cool with it

4 spotted today

Guy with wild hair on a clean looking red frame and blue velocity rims going up the bottom Coombe Road of Lewes Road

Tall looking guy going quickly up the stein on a brown/beige frame (possibly a steamroller) with narrow bars

Clean looking white bike (maybe a unipack) with Black deep V's and cut down bars going along the seafront between the piers

British Eagle frame with weird paint job locked up outside the internet cafe on Lewes Road.

That was probably myself, the white frame is actually an old Raleigh milk racer bought for my girlfriend that i'm using whilst my frame is out of action. I'm normally riding a holdsworth with most of the same parts.
Apart from "do a skid!" i haven't had much interaction with the Brighton fixed and singlespeed community and i see a fair few people riding, are there still regular beers or rides?
I also met a guy called Russ today near the old pier with a nice black leader bike with white velocitys. He's a nice guy and new to riding fixed so say hello if you spot him too.

There should be regular beers and rides!

We want people to race and people to play polo but we don't just hang out that often. Polo can be a bit of an informal hang out, even if you aren't down for playing come along and say hi. I'd say us Polo players are amongst the most active on the Brighton forum.

**Apologies to whoever KO'd after I shouted 'do a skid' on Friday night...
**Late on Friday night, on London road, shouted DAS, fixie rider complied and absolutly took himself out in the middle of the road, over the front of the bars, because he was wearing flipflops. Think he may have broken his wheel a bit. I lol'd in his face. Sorry.

Haha, flip flop skid.

flipflopskidfail

Attempted fosbury flop

probably roland?

roland is the only person I know who would attempt to ride in flip flops (also the only person I know with as questionable fashion sense to own some flip flops), but his bike has been in my old flat for weeks so not him.

White bike with bullhorns walking next to the level while I was on the phone.

Really nice looking royal blue frame with white wheels along the seafront with risers.

Hello all sanctimonious single cog/sprocket/free-wheel utilizing Homo-Erectile beings,

Hope you are all well (unless of course you are one of those derailed individuals who dreams of lying on a railway track so the 19:27 to Southampton can put an end to it all?
This fate could well befall the fellow on a blue more modern Genesis than my own work iron? Running a single Free-wheel and inexplicably some tri bars? (48*17 maybe it provided somewhere to air has ravaged small lungs after he was absolutely decimated on a chromosomal, nucleic acid shame rag by Lars_Engstrum last week going down the up and down near Portslade.

Lars, who having earlier smoked a reasonable 'sports joint' prior to going to work on his white Flyer
was not exactly pushing the ' stamped addressed envelope' quite unexpectedly a bambi with rickets legged individual siddled up alongside (siddle in this case meant him nearly crucifying his blood cell oxygen carrying capabilities to the point of almost extinction) once I had stopped admiring the great black backed seagull flying overhead and noticed this affront to my man dignity, I responded with a massive heave of nucleated mega energy, leaving me accelerating past and into the future.
See you later Mr Phillpott..... they dont have weetabix where your going..

Night....
