  • Me, back in town, not having ridden yet.

    Flat is wonderful though, I'll have everyone over when it's more settled down.

  • Polo player at the Whalley. Female, Red Messenger Bag, mallet sticking out. Me and GF were heading towards Chorlton on our way back from club training ride and some broken spoke / train catching shenanigans.

    ^ Emma.

  • Ok thanks will shout if see again.

    Was at CM on fri too, Orange fixed, so probably spotted loads of you without realising (I'm not one for blindly saying hello to strangers). Didn't hang around too long as it was a bit disorganised and we had another bike to go look at. Holler at Halloween if you see the Orange one there.

  • Some dude riding a early ninities Cannondale track, fixed, with a bunch of panniers and a rack. If it was smaller I would have made him an offer.

    Seems a pity to use it in the grim weather.

    oh i'm glad! was a hassle to find one IIRC

  • Lovely looking blue and white Raleigh Dyna Tech locked up outside MMU John dalton building. quick release wheels and a single U lock around the front wheel spokes. I hope its a bait bike because if they lock it up like that anywere else it will be gone.

  • Red and chrome langster outside unicorn.

    White frame black b43's(?) on deansgate trackstanding at lights.

    Lots of other nice looking frames about too, enjoying my commutes at the moment.

    Hey rhb. That would have been mine if it was about 5pm-ish.

  • Yup, around then - nice looking bike

    sounds like tall pall (messenger) black deep section mavic rims, and white condor frame?

    I see this Condor most mornings on my route to work locked up on dale street in the northern quarter. Id go as far as saying its the nicest fixed gear bike I've ever seen.

  • ^^ nice black drop bars?

  • ^ The one I'm referring to has black bullhorns. Or at least they're the only bars I've seen on that bike.

  • maybe a different bike and owner? This guy was wearing carhartt jeans and had a red carabina for holding some keys. Other than that my memory isn't great!

  • While here - keep spotting a purple sirius with blue wheels and brown oury's. Outside Victoria when i got off tram earlier.

    This one belongs to a messenger for MPG whom I pass eevery day on my way to work. We exchange smug Condor nods!

    Martin Hill-Mouse i think....

  • Fuji locked up on deansgate yesterday. Racey.

    Today - Guy on black ss with gold lettering on frame. Very spinny gear so maybe a poloist? Also guy on chrome frame near the whalley, looked like a de-stickered plug.

    Yeh that's def the one! Always locked up outside MPG.

    Was the guy riding it the hippest hipster you ever saw?

  • spotted locked up outside tesco market st. blue plug, bullhorns with green tape, paul lever. i was the surly next to you

  • Was the guy riding it the hippest hipster you ever saw?

    Possibly, I overtook and was caning it so didn't get time for more than a glance at frame. Prefer spotting at lights when there's more time to gaze :)

    Edit - spotted today (I think, maybe yesterday) about 7am on way to Bury, another Burgundy Charge with Green Deep Sections - my headtorch light made the rims look like they were made from ectoplasm.

  • safe. im danish too, thats why i asked. maybe we can share bacon/butter/lego related stories at polo.

    I'm back now, and will be playing polo in the near future.

  • 2 danish polo players in mcr with tattoos from mozza! small world
