Welcome

Hey y'all,

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say here as I can't be arsed to read the thread...

I live in Stoke Newington (London), commute on a single speed (not brave enough to go fixed yet), and spend a lot of my weekends struggling round the lanes of Epping Forest etc on my road bike.

Wanted to join the forum to find people to go on rides with, go for beers with, help me fix my bike (I'm not very tech) etc....

Hi All

Been stalking for a while learning as much as I can before I jump aboard. New to the country, new to the scene but not new to riding bikes. Mainly rode MTB back in Oz but about to jump on the SS/fixed gear bandwagon just as it's becoming daggy. Looking forward to learning, sharing and having the piss taken out of me.

Cheers
Aspro

Welcome to the country, the forum and the bandwagon most of the people on here were riding fixed before it became mainstream but are determined to keep it up just incase someone accuses them of being a hipster. First lesson - don't lean hope to see you around check out beers and rides!

Hi all
Im tum from thailand living in Manchester
cheers
anyone from thailand?

Sorry I'm not but hello non the less.

evening all,

from london, still riding gears, been lurking for a bit as a single speed / fixed is becoming very appealing for a commute/go anywhere bike, also for some odd unknown reason since a young age i've had a biziarre fascination with any bike with bull horns and there's lots of pics in various threads here.

Bullhorns = cool just don't repeat that in the porn thread. Hi

Now if you had made some sweeping and controversial statement without reading the thread I'd say you would have fitted right in especially if that statement insulted someone else. Hi anyway there will be plenty of opportunities to do all of the above.

Hello to all in the forum. I'm LuAn, from Brazil. Right now I'm in a project with a noname frame (I really don't know anything about the frame - from? Age?) and I appreciate a lot of fg/ss that I see around in the forum. Very cool.
By the way, I'm a mountainbiker too.
Cheers from Brazil.

Hi all, I find myself lurking on the forum quite often so I eventually registered and thought I'd come here and say hi first thing! :)

My name is Ivan, I am Italian and moved to London a (quite long) while ago. I hope to find someone to ride with here since I am apparently falling short of buddies to ride with and a long spring/summer ahead is sad to be ridden alone!

Hi,
My name is George and I live in western Romania. Been lurking for about 1 year here, finally decided to join. I have been riding bikes for about 22 years. Fixed, for one year. Up to this winter I had a Globe Roll, I am currently building a Tokyo Fixed S2 frame...with not so much luck, but fingers crossed. Cheers!

oh, hai George..

Welcome

Thanks. I hope I'm going to use a lot of advice from here, gotta build that sucker in one month, fair weather is coming.

hey all, I'm Connor im from basingstoke, got a fixed gear/ single speed for xmas so quite new to all this.

There isn't much to learn, just remember: DON'T STOP PEDALLING

Hi,
my name is Ljupco, from Macedonia. I just made my first SS.

Hi all,

My first post and one with a Brucie bonus contained herein.

Firstly let me say I have been visiting everyday for months now and absolutely love the humour and knowledge on the site.

Now i've got my sycophancy out of the way I thought I would pass on a discount code for Rapha. Simply put SALEWEEK12 in the checkout for a further 15% off SALE prices. Just snagged a pro rain jacket for £131. Hope this is of some help to someone.

Take care and hope to catch up with you soon.

By the way I do not work for or have any affiliation with Rapha just thought I'd spread the love.

Mega.
Cheers Barse...

I have now just tortured myself by seeing the £130 long sleeve jersey that I desperately want, available for £68 - at the exact time that I can't afford it.
When I will be able to afford it again it will be £130 again.

Balls

^ Cross your fingers and get down to the sample sale?

Do it mate sale ends this week. Melt down a gold bar or something. :)

When is it...?

Live too far away mate and the jackets been calling me for a good while now. Actually nearly got it for £155 last week but something stopped me. She's let me buy it now though. :o

Gosh darn it!
My finances won't be straight until the middle of Feb.

UPDATE ON THE ABOVE.

I were griping to my wifetype about this, yeah I give her all the best chat, and she was all...
"Oh how annoying.
What is the discount code...?
And what size would you say you were...?
And if you have a preference of colour what would it be...?"

Sommat tells me she might have snuck off and put herself firmly in my good books!

Only downside being she has the ladies version already so we might look like a pair of bellends in his'n'hers Rapha.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
so cute!!!

Hello all.

Long time lurker. First time poster. Great forum and I thought I'd dive in.

Can't vouch for the quality of any future contributions but I've got a thick skin
(Been a bonus in a couple of 'off's') and won't take offence.

I came to it late but I love cycling in the UK and London despite the frequency
of near misses.

Anyway...

Hi.
