    I miss my disc:(

  • what kind of noise are we talking?

  • what kind of noise are we talking?
    The buzz?

  • well its definitely not the noise it makes when your bashing the axle with a hammer trying to sort the dishing:(

    i would say its more of a whirrr

  • He killed himself?? Shit, didn't know that.

    According to Wikipedia, he's in jail, able to apply for parole in 2009, after beating up/knocking unconscious his ex-wife's friend, then raping her repeatedly and leaving her to die... Not nice... :(

  • The buzz?

    It's more a sort of whirring-hum.

  • For it to make real sense you would need to read this Observer article first, then the second 'adjusted' version.

    Muahahahaha... good one :) keep up the good work..

  • camp or garish, haven't quite decided, but I like it anyway

    same can be said about the mug too.

  • How's the disc wheel in cross winds, being passed by trucks, etc?

    I'm all too familiar with their noise.. always being passed by loads of fast tt'ers (cheating aero bastards!).

  • your HHSB is a shining example to all HHSB wannabes.

  • yep, it's admiral of the slave fleet.

  • I should add that I like it, very much so.

  • arrospok porn! lovely bike.

  • briankwan - you are in hong kong in that photo, well on kowloon, correct?

    Are you talking about Brian's trispoke ?

    Mine is very sketchy on blustery days, that's why I had a normal spoked wheel (DTSwiss Mon Chasseral) on when I bumped into you in Old Street - I check the BBC weather website and if the the wind speeds are over 10mph it's no go for the space wheel.

    Not noticed any problems with being passed by trucks/busses.

    Are you entering this for the 7th national HHSB awards to be held at The Royal Albert Hall on the 20th June ?

    Thoroughbred !

    Do they let lo-pros into the Grand National ? You might just win.

    That robot behind you, with the one black eye and the one silver eye, seems to think 'camp'.

    :)

  • He would do....

    I fancy its chances against a racehorse, truth be told I've worn heavier coats than this bike and it is sehr schnell. It is indeed the blue blooded slave master bicyclette of old London Town.

    The 650c white Arrospok is too rare to mention, fluro pink rolls saddle is a bugger to come by, I found it on the bay after waiting three months for Velocity to make me a 650c deep V which they kindly let me cancel free of charge when this popped up. Even the Seat post diameter was hard to find, pink track pedals, with white leather toe strap covers, it goes on and on. It sucked me in what can I say, Bitten by the bug. If anyone wants to mate their old mare, she'll be put out to Stud one day soon I'm sure.

    On a build note, I didn't want to be licking the front wheel, so althought the aesthetics of the lo-pro had stolen my heart by fitting a high nitto technomic stem the saddle to handlebar reach is really the same as a normal ride.
