Touring on a fixed

Dude, this is not spamming. It's a guy from California trying to borrow a bike while in London.

Not so cool of you to jump the gun like this... how many people do you think post ads trying to borrow bikes and offer downpayments in an effort to spam, scam, rip-off, or whatever.

You've been Scobled. It's the closest this forum comes to an equatorial baptism. Enjoy the fact that you have just been made a beneficiary of this time-honoured tradition and move on. :)
