Nursery for New Members

Calling mikec to thread ... ;)

Hi everyone. Just joined. First post! Going to be building my first fixed bike soon and will need some help!

Welcome; do a bit of research first, use the search up there ^ and then you will be able to ask the kind of informed and specific questions that people on here are happy to answer. Make sure you use the search to see if there is an existing thread relevant to what you have to ask.

To add to Will's excellent post, if you have a really simple question about building your bike, it might be worth posting it in here: http://www.lfgss.com/thread31874-51.html

For some reason, people seem to be more receptive to silly questions than if you started your own thread :)

I like the fact that you called it a fixed gear rather than that atrocious fixie nomenclature...

Hi all riding my FIXIE and tricking, lovin it

I haven't read them yet!!

But now I have. xxb

Ffs

do you have to post in 3 different threads or just 3 in one?

Please read the first post in this thread.

three in one or three in two or three in three; three in four is trickier. Just as long as you are not posting rubbish like "This is my second post" then it doesn't matter where you do it.

Please read the first post in this thread.

or my helpful and good humoured reply :)

Seriously though mate, that's not how this works round here. Posting 5 times in a row, in the nursery thread, isn't going to get you anything other than a big fat slap.

http://www.lfgss.com/post1635493-3225.html READ IT! IT'S ON THIS FUCKING PAGE TOO.

I 'fucking' read it ... if you read my post correctly you would understand that in replying I wasn't hoping to get a cheeky foot through the door and that I would wait to a have posted additionally to my posts in here. I am respecting 'the rules'

I think I was right in the first place... this place aint too welcoming. it's not necessary to swear or make clear something that I'm already aware of. My initial post was a lighthearted joke. Jeez.

Unfortunately that joke has been made many times before, and now it just makes you look like a spammer trying to gain pm rights. 'sall.

Evenin' Gents, I've been away in Oz. Compulsory helmets there - even for fully grown adults. Sad/vaguely amusing to see the rulemongers still monging their way around the nursery. Is this a height thing?

Oh great, you're back.
20 of your 30 posts have been in the nursery so what drivel are you coming out with now. Sad and vaguely amusing? Pot and kettle?

Just signed up - moving to the city in a few days, going to be a fair bit different to the forests and fire tracks I'm used to! My mtb is gone and I've started scouring the internets (incl. here) for info on building up a suitable bike. I may also be looking for some help with a project, after talking to my dad he's decided its about time his 1935 Holdsworth was rebuilt (probably as single as he's usually on a geared Mercian). I imagine he won't have much time for this himself - any recommendations as to who to send it to/anyone here take on projects?

do it yourself.

ahh i wondered what was happening...

Maybe he likes being a child? Maybe he likes the nursery?

do it yourself.

If it were my bike then definitely - hopefully once I've built up a couple of bikes for myself I'll feel confident enough to work on someone else's.

i think retro_di_corsa builds up bikes for people on the forum. I have no experience of his services bu peole speak highly of him. When you are able you should drop him a PM and see what he can do.

This is following the rules. Considering what I do for a living.. I should get a free pass.
