  • New students are moving in/sorting out residence for the new term so its possibly a noobe to the area! Leave a note on hs bike if you see him tom asking to come ride with us!!

  • Overtook a dude at about 4:45 this afternoon at the bottom of Far Gosford Street.

    I believe it was fixed.

    CBoardman frame, drops with yellow tape. He had a hiking rucksack on and a skid lid.

  • Just saw a lime green bike at the railings.

  • Just saw a lime green bike at the railings.

    That would have been Doc's. He works in Hannigans.

    I also spotted 2 bikes this morning.

    1. Polished Cannondale outside West Orchards (Cosmo entrance). With all black components, riser bars, chain was really slack and it had 2 brakes so I assume it's SS. The bike has been there about 2/3 days.
    2. Chrome frame with Ride sticker on the top-tube outside West Orchards locked up on the rails next to the Cannondale. Front brake, red hubs, black rims, left pedal had toe clip, riser bars, and fixed. It's been there since yesterday morning.

    Any of those two anyones?

  • Nice one Doc!

    Talking of been there for some time, what's going on with that bike with the electric motor, it's been there for months?

  • Electric motor? Where's this at?

  • Between Much Park Street and the Ellen Terry building, on a bike parking rail.

  • That cannondales always there and i seen the ride decal'd polished bike aswel

  • The Cannondale was locked outside that gym near Kong this morning and the red/chrome ride one was still there

  • 2 this afternoon.

    Saw a full Raleigh SS locked up in Central Six by JJB and Hobbycraft. Straight bars with white grips with a chain and padlock around the seatpost.

    Also a dude on what I think was a SS going past Hearsall Common at around 3:30/3:45. Black frame, drops and two brakes.

  • Saw someone at Hearsall Common, bike looked dull white with orange bit on crossbar.

  • Afternoon. I come at this from the Singlespeed side, not fixie.... So probably scum and an interloper ;0)
    Been riding Singlespeed mountain bikes for 3 or 4 years now..... Currently on a rigid Singular Swift 29er with a fat front end...... Totally opposite to what's popular on here.... We have a healthy SS contingent in the club, probably 20 or 30 riders..... Fixed doesn't work well off road , so SS is as close as we get..... ;0)
    Anyway, just thought I'd drop by ;0)

  • I've just acquired a ss MTB, but I may be converting it back to geared...

  • Don't need anything else around Coventry...... Maybe if you're heading to the Peaks or Wales but Cov is perfect for SS on a mountain bike.

  • I saw a Peugot, dark turquoise or something, parked near HMV, a white Fuji on the tarmac patch near where The Dome newsagents used to be, something going past, black, maybe a Surly? All today.

  • I saw a nice cream and brown thing by HMV today.

  • Today, parked by M&S, it was dark but looked like a lot of rust on it! Charge bucket saddle, brown.

  • ^ that's my and illsleys pal

  • Volume cutter v2

  • I never heard of them but did a google http://www.customriders.com/prodshow.asp?prodid=11703&cat=0&parent=0&sid=3 of the v2, certainly got their own style!

  • His is quite old now, I think there onto the v6/7 now

  • Yeah that's beckett's. Deep-V white rear?

  • I'm sure it must have been, but my attention was taken by the frame condition.

  • I saw two pass by the Woof N Poof, one with orange rims, one with white rims. Then a few minutes later one by Tesco, may have been Bianchi colour, dull daylight at the time.
