Bike porn

and

1. Don't post any wheels with *Lightweight * logos.
   

That's not a thread rule, it's just the aesthetic judgement of all right thinking people

I shall consider myself rebuked Mr Tester, you clearly run the show here and your ability to communicate in a clear and concise manner allows me (now) to understand the strict rules of this thread of 1600+ pages.

Unfortunately I have erred by failing to read every single one of them to best equip myself to post a few pictures of a track bike on an internet forum, lest I become a pariah within this community.

I'll post it in the classifieds when I have submitted enough posts to qualify, essentially the only reason I came here in the first place, against my better judgement as I suspected I may come across one or two peni$ glans on my travels to this location.

"If it's your bicycle, then it's automatically an anti-porn and thereforth should be removed henceforth from this topic."

Not this.

"... one rule... Don't post your own bikes in the porn thread."

This.

"...and don't post any wheels with *Lightweight * logos."

True. Still a very nice bike though.

"That's not a thread rule, it's just the aesthetic judgement of all right thinking people"

XD

...one rule.

It's been more of a gentleman's agreement.

It usually gets pointed out in an ungentle way these days... because patience runs thin with all the new members only here to sell shit!

Carry On.

None of these are mine.

I met this lovely bloke outside the bike shop across from Evans in Spitalfields, they must of had the last remaining chamois cream in East London. Anyway this guy was checking out the £5k carbon Di bikes and with him he had a MacLeans Featherweight......WOW what a gorgeous bike. I took some photos with the iPhone, they are shit however as the HDR was on, I don't know why it's a shit function.

One thing I haven't seen before on a bike, he had this scrapper on the rear wheel (in the last photo there) to dislodge any chips stuck in the tubs.

Super bike, never seen anything like it in real life, it made my day.

You must be very young, all the cool kids had flint catchers when I were a lad.

Awesome! my kind of bicycle.

You're aware that you can turn off the HDR, right?

Fowler's Modern English Usage says that "none" is not short for "not one" and although using a singular verb is more common, using a plural verb has been an acceptable option since the reign of King Alfred.

You really are quite old then.

Shouldn't it be are since "these" is the plural of "this"?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyways - Grabs popcorn

You're wrong, but as Fowler points out, so many people have been wrong so many times that descriptive linguists now consider them (and you) to be right.

No need for popcorn fellas, I know when I am defeated by a superior being. I shall off to my second love, after bicycles.....to the Gonk Appreciation Forum, where my grammar and choice of velo/stuffed acrylic characters may find favour.

I have been referred to as a cunning linguist before and I thought that would take some licking....

I'm guessing that must be one of his personal bikes, as it doesn't fit the usual profile of being made for the kind of old and inflexible rider who both wants and can afford an English

Neither doe this one. Possible repost.

Last for now...
