My careers advisor didn't tell me about those types of jobs..!

You look really happy riding your bike.[/QUOTE]

Tis true Kattie, my expression in that photo does somewhat betray what is otherwise a sunny disposition... i'll make sure i'm smiling in the next one.

Face

I was not happy with my first Viennese Coffee, esp. since I went to Vienna for it.

Forgot that I never did this when i first joined.

nothing to see here...sorry..

I do believe they are made by that dodgy mechanic guy and his son, now based in Portsmouth, as seen here :

Well considering I've had my bike for over a year now and i ride 10+ miles a day, and i haven't had any problem with my bike I'd say that the mechanics are far from dodgy.

Is that borehamwood skatepark?

no it's a new park in Petersfield, It's a great park for skateboarding, I blade myself either way a great skatepark for everyone.

This is my Colnago Technos, bought new in 1996.
Anyone who tells me this is 'just a bike' is going to get a good hard virtual slap.

My face remains the same mish-mash of ill-assorted parts.

top marks.

The face is not bad either

Hey, why do I ever bother to upload my pictures to flickr? I'll also link to pics on my email account!
..or better yet, to my hd..
So, this is my current ride:

<< face is the same

After close to 1200 post I guess I should properly introduce myself.

My name is Jack. My bikes are as follows:

My Leader 735tr (now sporting different bars and stem)

and my Raleight Royal

I can't find any halfway decent photos of me so this will have to do.

anyway, enough of that back to the meme thread...

The face, the build the current ride. Us country boys need our guards.

The face is not bad either

Hang on !

If that is Wigan Will who was that beastly young chap they sent down to show me the ropes from the cycling school thingy ?

Will was sent down?

When did that happen?

this sweaty drunken moustache twirling idiot is me...

usually to be seen somewhere between farringdon and greenwich via deptford/jamaica road/tooley street, am a friendly bloke so say hi if you see me.

You may also see me knocking about on my pub bike around here as well...

fully deserving of a spot in anti porn it's an se draft lite that I purposefully want to look shit so i feel less stressed when I have to lock it up out of sight.

my first foray into singlespeeddom and so far i'm loving it. some time this year I'll start working on a proper fixed build with decent parts while I slowly ride this POS into the ground.

sounds like a solid plan to me..

when you build up something really nice though, you'll eventually realise that you want to ride the POS more ;) you'll become attached..

well the build quality on the draft lite is what you'd expect for a bike I paid £188 for brand new so it's likely it'll start falling apart before I can get too attached to it. lol
