Welcome to all the recent joiners.

Hello all. Italian scientist moved to London a couple of years ago... i love fixed bikes... But for space reasons I am riding... (shame) a Brompton, and I am trying to make it as much good looking (if possible) as I can!

Cheers,
Marco

Just joined, bought this beaut a week or so's back.
Going to be annoying with s*loads of technical questions.
Live in kingston and have been enjoying riding around, though have been having trouble with the rear wheel/freewheel.

Quick newbie question.
How do you actually pronounce "DAS"? [does it even mean Do a Skid or am I being a chump and it's a way to identify newbie idiots?]

Do you say it complete: "Do a Skid?"
Pronounce the S like a Zed: "Daz"
Or a wellspoken: "DArS"?

More DAS related questions from a paranoid newbie:
Is it good etiquette to shout it out to strangers or only to buddies?
Is it funny or annoying to receivers?
Must you attempt a skid if it's safe, even if you don't think you can and will probably look like an idiot?
Ta.

Don't listen to them!!!

You bellow at volume: DO A SKID!!!

You report back to the forum bosses that you DAS'd someone.

And you say it to everyone who isn't from east London. They're all nobbs

Miss you... nobb!

Hi everyone,

After lurking here for more than one year thought maybe it was time for me to post something myself. Been riding my single speed around central London for three years.

Miss you... nobb!

Miss you too... Nobb!

hey, been lurking for the past few weeks, hopefully be converting my commuter to a single speed with a respray/upgrade, thought it would be helpful to sign up and get some advice along the way :)

Hi all.

Hi all.

I've been riding fixed gear for just over 2 years now. I nearly always choose fixed over gears. I can't stand road bike geo

I've got a few bikes now such as a Pogliaghi roadie, McBain (Aus Made) Track Bike, No Name roadie with 600 arabesque and a 250cc boardtrack inspired motorbike built by myself

Hi
I'm from Portugal and i love bikes and riding them. And this is a hell of a forum!!!
Congrats to all who contribute..

Hello everyone.

Live down in Bournemouth, bought a Charge stove (which I want to swap!) about two years ago then got into the whole single speed thing. Want to get into track and road riding a bit more.

Hello everybody,
I'm from Slovakia, and my diagnose is bike-building :) Currently riding one fixed-gear and one old fashioned single speed.

Hello new members. Play nice. Enjoy the great LFGSS..

Hi everybody,

I'm glad to find a space to talk with like-minded cyclist. I love riding my Fuji Track steel frame. This machine was ridden brakeless for time, but not too long ago I didn't see the point anymore and have fitted a front brake. The thing is on, but not in use.
Some time ago I build a road bike frame on a frame building course in Canterbury. Work on it is still in progress, since I haven't managed to clean up those pretty lugs yet. However, I build it up and rode it from London to Brighton and then back to Gatwick last Sunday. I'm hoping to get my hands on a Dremel soon and finish the project.

Hey, long time lurker, I used to ride bmx for a few years, but haven't owned a bike since packing that in, bought myself an old Kalkhoff 10 speed conversion, riding single-speed atm, planning to go fixed as soon as funds allow, looking forward to wasting hours on here!

Hi, been lurking for a while, though I ought to introduce myself. Built myself an On-One Pompino SS a couple of months ago, absolutely loving it. Hope everyone's enjoying riding in this (briefly) beautiful weather!

Hi Everyone,

Just signed up hoping to get some information about my stolen bike I spotted in London.. but need to get my post cout up ^_^

Thanks, John

Hi Everyone,
New here! Been lurking around as a guest for a while and was surprised I hadn't joined sooner. Been riding fixed for a couple of years, first off with an SE Lager. Just a month of so ago I bought a Specialised Langster for an endurance event I'm signed up to.

Will find the appropriate forum and post details about it there.

Look forward to interacting with you all.

Dave

Hey,

I am now here.

Hi!

Hiya!

'Long time lurker first time poster' — Ahhh the old cliche.

Been riding a myriad of bikes since last year, currently running a no name fixed piece of junk as I had my equally junky 'No-Logo' stolen a few weeks ago, looking to get a track bike in the next month, so that should be interesting.

Cheers!

Hi all, just joined the site... been into bikes for years but not had one for a while... used to ride a bit of downhill/free ride etc and have had a few Konas, a Cannondale, a Team Marin Downhill and a Spooky Metalhead, just bought my first singlespeed Dolan from murph, can't wait to get out on it now!!!

Hi everyone,

I'm from France, Lyon, and as I'm going to work for two months in London, I thought it might be a good idea to come by and say hi to the lfgss community.

Of course, these will stay in France so I hope I'll manage to get a bike during my stay in London, that would be a significant improvement for commuting and Sunday rides...

Hi Everyone
Long time lurker (we're talking years), but finally have a smart enough phone that has web access (yeah I know, but I iz old!), and an employer who has PCs which does not block forum use (yeah I know, but they are old!). Been riding for years, currently on a Schwinn Madison, but also have a Boardman road bike and variousl other things with two wheels which come under the geneal description of bicycles. Generally seen around South London - especially Crystal Palace/Brixton areas and around Fitzrovia when at work. Over time I have been "spotted" twice - once when having a cheeky fag, and once when running a red, I try not to do either nowadays! Great forum, been so helpful already....and made me chuckle like a tax evader, gawd bless you all! See ya around, I normally ride with a smile!
