Welcome

Hello! Trying to PM also :)

Im looking for a front pannier like this one! where did you get it from?

New here, originally from Helsinki, Finland - but have lived in Hertfordshire most of my life. Previously worked at a BMX shop in Letchworth, and was there for a few years and I'm now at uni down south.

Welcome all - I'm a newbie myself - I'm sure you'll love it here.

@mattias
Nice bike. Needs black bar tape (or white saddle and straps).

The Colnago's not a single speed.....but here she is, the old dear.

The pic is from last year - bike is now undergoing minor modification - Chorus pedals, retro bottle cages, amber wall tires - so that she fits the bill for some retro rides

Old, well worn and wouldn't trade her for any carbonfibre wonder!

Cheers

Love the sprint colour way fades! Looks like a beaut

I lost a a pannier full of ears, just like that one

Yep, thanks - it's genuine 1988, Campy Chorus throughout (inner chain ring had to be be replaced after 20 years and about 60000 km, no Campy, and same story with 6 speed cluster, regrettably) but other parts still original. Thought of having her resprayed in Saronni Red but local cycle shop said "You'd be a fool", so she stays as is and now I've managed to get Chorus c-era pedals to put on her again - just need some Chorus toe clips, size L.

But almost 25 years on the road - and now about 80000 kms (even though I didn't ride from '95 to '05) - and she's still the love of my life (the wife doesn't read this forum!).

Cheers and thanks for the complis, Fahrgestell. I just wish I had been able to afford the chromed lugs, like your bike had, back in '88 and now as an OAP, finding her a sister is a financial no go!

And I don't know why my previous post came up twice - sorry folks!

Hello everyone!
Greetings from sunny Florida! Finally decided to join up after almost a year of lurking. Looking forward to riding in London next summer.

^ Most people drive on the "wrong" side of the road here, so watch out!

Iknorite?
I lived in Glasgow for about 5 1/2 years. First time I tried to drive, I was kinda drunk, and got in on the (your) passenger side and got mad that someone stole my steering wheel.
Needless to say, I went back inside and passed out.

^No worries then, you'll fit right in. What brings you to London by the way; are you moving here or just visiting?

Just visiting unfortunately. If I could move back to the UK I'd be off like a prom dress. But at least I'll be able to ride, watch a match or two, and generally just enjoy the city.

Another damn Italian in here...:P

Welcome Ranx!

Hi all, thought I'd join after after some extensive lurking. Been riding fixed, in Edinburgh, for only a couple of months, but loving it! The all-carbon, expensively group-setted monster now sits neglected, while I'm out getting back to basics...

hi all,

finally joined after lurking about for abit, seems to be one of the only forums that tolerates swearyness and general bollocks. looks good!

General Bollocks can fuck off.

Lieutenant Cock can go with him.

He would of stayed if the grammar was better.

ah, touche.

He would have stayed if the grammar was better.
