Where is everybody?

I know that I have been absent for a while, and peoples aint been Friday Night'in, but wot the f***! Come on guys. Get the wheels in motion. Get involved. Come on. We need more nights and good times. Book a Friday night off from the missus, off from the shitty job and give up Partying for this once in a while. Holla on here and hopefully peeps will come amd join ya for a memorable evening. Im back on it. Why aint you?!?!

Eh?

Everyone bought gears and now follows the ethos "More gears, fewer beers"

You can find them trying to set lap records of richmond park on bromptons ...

@Scoot & Malaysian - this is the Norwich forum and Mark is eloquently bemoaning the lack of regular Norwich Velo Sport Friday Night Rides™.

I have no bike at the mo Mark, so that's my excuse. Sparky is in London, Colin has turned into a roadie, Spence is selling his fixed.. new blood is needed. Is there still a group who ride out of UEA?

Colin has turned into a roadie

But I only have 20 gears between 3 bikes, I'm not fully qualified yet! I'm still up for Fridays in principle but I have work and personal commitments that have to come first. Sunday mornings would be better for me, like a proper roadie.

I have 70 gears, I just worked out. I'm also in London now, and in Richmond Park trying to beat my PB, and trying to run more, and working lots. They're my excuses, in order of nonsense. Chow.

Oh I see. Sorry, didn't look at where the thread was from I just saw it on today's posts. I will leave you to your eloquent Norwich-based bemoaning now.

Just got the fixed back from the spray shop, so I'll be well up for some riding v.soon. Just moved to Norwich from Essex too, so would be good to get to know some peoples.

+1

+2. Welcome to Norwich, senoirmax! Friday nights are where its at.

Cheers Mark.
Just need to get me a chain, lever and a saddle and I'm away.

I probably got a good condition chain you can have. A shitty saddle and lever too if ya need them just to get ya sorted out?! Dont want money for em, just make sure you pass em on to another needy soul along the way.

Just gots me a saddle (early Birthday present), but a chain and lever would be very greatfully received. I'm trying to resurrect the old centre pull calliper that came with the bike, so just need to source a cable hanger too.

I have got all of that and some... WHen dya want to pop over and have a look. I live in the centre of Norwich.

Friday? I'll PM you when I get home.

Cool man. What sort of time are ya looking at?

After 5?

Okies. So what dya need? Can ya bring them bars as well. What sort of bars are you now gonna be riding?

Would be really up for a ride every now and then if anybody is around. Think I've got my gear sorted now and I'm gonna try chase a train to Thetford on Friday morning

At some point I would be well up for this. Maybe even ride out to Thetford, drop ya off home and we can all smash it back to Norwich.

Hey, haven't forgotten about those bars. I can could drop them off this week/weekend if you're free?

Yes please max. Would look awesome on my latest project: a Zeus 2000 fixed conversion. Well looking forward to getting it up and running!

Talking of parts, has anyone seen chappy with my now-deceased DeathTrap bike? Should be a wheelset, bars, cranks etc that are salvageable from that...

No. Dunno who he is. Is it worth contacting Chris, who is now also living in the bright lights, to see if he has got a contact for him? I can try for ya if ya like?

It was Chris, wasn't it?
