Spotted In Norwich

Passed a lovely green fixed/ss something on St Benedicts St around 9-10am

Spotted this http://i.imgur.com/h7p2Fe9.jpg and presumably TomvanHalen on campus this afternoon around 2:30pm. I was on grass with bike and people. Nice bike.

Saw many bikes on a short trip to campus again tonight. Pick of the bunch, a young kid with a afro with an electric blue deep v front wheel - got a thumbs up for radness.

Enjoying the weather and the morris dancing! Tarted it up a bit since that pic

A heavily laden TomvanHalen riding the Cannondale outside City Hall at about twenty past six.

Saw a nice chromed pista bianchi yesterday. Old palace road. P.s. I'm joe new to lfgss. Do a bit of volunteering at bike links.

A nice Bianchi Pista Via Brera at UEA. Locked up with a cable I could probably chew through so I might have it.

Welcome to the forum, Joe. Think I've seen the same pista around recently.

Saw a guy on a white track bike with a red saddle turning from colegate to magdalen street about 3ish on tuesday. You pulled an effortless skid but please show your bike a bit of love, sounded like a rusty chainsaw!

Haha, I saw an old Raleigh mixte locked up outside TKMaxx with one of these yesterday

If that wasn't bad enough it was 'locked' to something like this

I should've taken it out of principle

Hey Joe, this is Alex (from Bike Links) glad to see you're here.

You pulled an effortless skid

Serve as inspiration? How are the new straps treating you? I rode to campus with Fiona earlier just after it rained, The Avenues was still greasy and it was immense - I held slides for numerous seconds, which felt like an age.

It certainly did! I haven't properly ridden with them yet, just round the car park at the back of mine. They're a larger size than the ones I had on it so the toe overlap is huge, not sure whether I'll be able to ride with them to be honest. I'll properly try them tomorrow but may be back in to look for a smaller size ;)

Ah yes, sorry, I remember you saying now. I can't remember what those Tioga ones were like length wise, but they might do the job. Alternatively just fork out for some new proper beefy double strap things.

Pretty sure it was the tiogas that I picked up. You working tomorrow? I probably will eventually, need to get some new straps too

Oh right. No, I never work weekends, only Weds, Thurs and occasionally Fri. You know where everything is so you could just rummage anyway, or alternatively come back next week when I'm around.

Hi Alex, Thanks. Just acquired a mystery track frame which is going to get renovated and eventually built up, Thought I'd join for some tips and advise! pictures to come soon.

Saw that lovely orange Bob Jackson (and presumably benjaminbunny on it!) going through Rockland not long ago. I was coming the other way. Superb bike.

It is a fantastic bike!

A Giant Bowery painted in the Condor Lavoro livery outside the Arts Centre last night. Rikki, did you sell yours yet?

yep, sold it to Caeraphym

Dark green conversion with brown leather wrapped drops passing the nua library about 15 min ago, seem to remember a newbie saying something about a datjk green conversion recently?

Maybe Josh on the Avenues a bit earlier today? I was in another world so ignored you if it was, sorry!

Someone along Duke Street this afternoon who I thought was spiderpie from the back, but he turned out to be a lovely chap on a 531 fixed conversion. No idea who he was, but we chatted about gearing and the wind until he stopped at the art school.
