Yesterday. 5:30pm. Got overtaken by a guy on a Red Look, steel set-up going up the hill past Earlham Park. We had a little game of cat and mouse until we parted company @ bowthorpe/colman road junction.
Always a laugh to have a thrash with random strangers! I also finish work again today around the same time (12 hour days, urgh!), so hopefully me and ol' red can go again.

Alright PuP, going to have to cut those lovely new grips off - the stem's buggered! Gutted. Tried to slip them off but you did way too good a job... Going over to Sailor's place on Friday night and hopefully will be fitting a new stem and cranks, then it'll be on the way.
Rode it to work this morning; bent cranks, wonky pedals, no brakes and loose stem. The name Deathtrap is becoming more appropriate by the day...

Long screw driver and some white spirit!
Obviously allow the white spirit to dry before re-attaching.
- you are a bastard. Them grips were meant for the next batch of polo mallets! Lol!

I would recomend these pedals:
A.Bike Co (or Animal) Hamilton PC pedals.
Strong and light BMX pedals, which will accomodate polo straps (gonna make some in a few days hopefully, wanna be a guinnee pig?).

Oh, and just to go on a bit more. If you want some cheap BMX style grips similar to this:
(Odi longnecks, the oldest and best grips for BMX)Then you can get some Savage BMX grips from Wilco motor discount stores for just under £4. They are good, cheap and don't wear out too fast. Shit hot!

Also a couple of months ago now but a guy on a red pug, black deep v's on dereham rd up near wensum lodge. Amazing bike, if you're on here i'd love to see some pics

What did he get?

Very similar to the other one. Jus not as aesthetically pleasing. Ask Ben. He sourced it for him. It has got campy dropouts, matching lugs and similar geometry to the yellow Lowali.

I know. Gav, Dom and myself were steaming drunk though. Woke up the next morning having had 5 hours sleep in a heap on the livinroom floor cuddling a very dirty BMX! Its safe to say that Gem was none too impressed.

Spotted myself in the January issue of GQ France, in a feature on L'Eroica. Looking muddy, tired and moustachioed at the end of the race, posing like I've just won the TdF in 1963. Tosser.

Hey Guys,
Had my bike stolen from st gregorys alley last night. Pretty easy to spot, yellow deep vs, black drops and 3 piece cranks. Has a leeder black frame. Any help finding this would be massively massively appreciated.
Cheers

Cheers buddy,
Going to report it first thing tomorrow morning. Keeping an eye on gumtree and ebay at the moment. Anywhere else to keep a peeper on?
Behind the railings on the Paragon Place side just after the underpass.
