Always wanted to try that on a beater frame.

Its a joke on Spinal Tap. Yes.

I just don't see that at all, Iain.

and

Hahaha. I was obviously dazzled by the Bridgestone! I was about to catch up with you guys for an ogle but you turned off just before I reached you. Green electrical tape, eh? Fresh.

Yes mate, we were heading to East Beers...

1000archangels on the Bridgestone and me on the "nice looking road bike"

which is actually my 14kg £60 Raleigh beater, covered in green electrical tape to make it look worthless.

I need to work on it a bit more if it still looks nice!!!

and

And?

No and...

That was 'This Is Spinal Tap' and 'This is Spinal Tape'

Nothing more

I just can't see it.

FixedMT on his Precursa on Deptford High Street just now as I was locking up at the project for a brew. Lube that chain dude! sounded like you were playing the washboard!

Lol, that was FixedMT's cousin. I keep telling him to drop by mine so I can lube it for him but he's being stupid lol.

the typeface is different but I think Breaker is right why else would they write "This is". The sausage tape just says sausage tape. and duck tape just says duck tape never this is duck tape.

Did I see someone on this beast heading down Stoke Newington Rd last night about eight? With someone on a nice looking road bike in tow? I joined the road by Barden's and followed you towards Stokie on a purple and yellow Dave Quinn track.

If it was this it looked slick.

remember your frame!
say hi next time:)

^after 1000's of DASs yesterday resulting in 999 blank looks and one 'fuck off', *we *got spotted.

oh the irony!
not to mention your beater got complimented :P

Sven going past lmnh

~9.30pm, dude on red Fuji track with front Spoks trackstanding like a baus at junction of New Oxford St. and Coptic St, followed shortly by a Chinese guy, also Spokked with bullhorns. Holla!

You got it.

Guy in a forum cap on a black frame who obliged with a grin when a voice from the back of a gaggle of students DAS'd him.
Torrington Square, about 4.30.

was he definitely from China?

saw three different salve as fuck riders today. one in soho at lunchtime and another two riding through regents park about 7pm. can't be much more specific but we're talking spoks, hed's and all that jazz. genuinely brought a smile to myself on each occasion. making your bike look daft is fun.

Hip hop salve? For when your low-slung jeans chafe?

Saw a guy on a white fixed Olmo conversion (I think) turning right off the A2 towards London Bridge. Sailed through the pedestrian crossing with a really odd pedalling technique (standing up dead straight with every turn of the cranks), then 'trackstanding' his way across half of the road before putting his foot down. Anyone want to own up to this class?

Also, as I was heading down Cannon Street, I was stuck in traffic and looked across to the opposite lane and saw someone weaving through cars, and seemed to see me, and acknowledge me by doing some kind of weird Dolan face pout.

Weird day for spots.
