Names and faces to bikes

a pedestrian once walked out in front of me, realised I was there, turned towards me and froze......she mounted my front wheel, quite gracefully it has to be said, headbutted me on the chin, fell to the floor and ran off into shepherds bush market before I could see if she was ok.........thats about as near to riding through meat as I have ever come i think

That's amazing. What she hot? This could be a good way to meet girls?

t'was all a blur...possibly......am not sure parking your bike between someones legs at speed is neccessarily the best way to endear yourself to women!

Lovely footage of the BJ having a lie down after a funny turn at the finish of a climb (at 2min 15sec). I felt great obviously, but we should'nt push our bikes too hard ;)

Same face... (Andypancake from fixedgearlondon)

jaw slackens

woah. drool. what's the sick rat bike, 3 up from bottom?

I love how any bike covered in stickers these days is classed as a 'rat bike'...despite the brand new wheels, thomson, dura ace etc :)

Is that a b&w photo?

The term 'rat bike' needs to be abolished. I blame edsquabble

Can't you see the rainbow? maybe your monitor is faulty G? :)

Yeah I need to get myself another set of pedals... I swap them when I want to ride that bike.

It is. I had it set up wrong... but left it cos I like B&W :)

....looks good. Not normally a big fan of those Leaders(headtube looks odd) but that looks ace. Stickers FTW! :-)

@andy - on average, how long does it take you to decide which bike to ride when you're going out? :-)

You've some gorgeous bikes there.

I would never buy a Leader ;)

Yesterday I rode the 3Rensho... damn it is nice! Forgot how nice since I have not ridden it for about 4 months now!

Weather, gearing for speed/distance, if I wanna try and do some tricks, cruiser short distances... all are factors when it comes to trying to decide.

On Tuesday I had to make a decision to take the Cinelli out over the Brooklyn. Cinelli was new but it was Tuesday tricks on the carpark :( so missed that.

It's not a chore to decide!!

Andy, how are you finding the Dodici rim? Thinking of getting one but can't find anyone else that has one.

TokyoFixedGear.

TFG sell them but I think he's looking for a someone with first hand experience of how the wheel holds up, weight, is it flexy etc.

+1 to what the gun-toting squirrel said, can't seem to find anyone that has ridden one and can give some constructive feedback on it.

Andypancake - if you could only save 1 from a burning building, which would it be..?

just leave them to roast to create the authentic rat bike look
