Spotted...

Yeah, loving it so far! I'd get some pics up, but I'm massively embarassed about the front end: couldn't be arsed faffing with changing bar tape so I just ripped the brake cables out of my brake levers and left them on as dummies before sticking a crosstop lever on. Plan for next week is to flop+chop the bars and get some nice looking tape. I'm thinking white tape + white rubinos, should get it looking proper. Pics to follow, once thats done and I've given it a wash :D

yeah, reckon white will look pretty good for those finishing touches. nice one. will look out for it in the names and bikes and whatever else to faces thread.

apparently there are at least two other fixed riders in exeter, i haven't seen them yet and the chances of them being on here are slim but if you are, hey!

edit: according to my lbs there are lots of students coming down from 'london' bringing their 'fixed gear' bikes with them... where is this fixed gear mecca 'london' as i have never heard of it...

Jos, riding north up Goswell Rd. last night. I was walking to xmas do near St. Paul's.

I also saw jos on theobald's road (i think). I was carrying a bike frame and he was riding really fast. Or looking like he was riding really fast anyway.

tynan, do you ride a bianchi pista? if so, then I totally spotted you.

bloke with green bianchi fixed, making a call on a payphone at waterloo station this morning..

lpg tynan, do you ride a bianchi pista? if so, then I totally spotted you.

No !

I am far too posh to ride an off the peg bike. :)

What made you think it was me ?

maybe it was the 'I LOVE RPM' t-shirt.... :)

Will do. I will use my hawk vision

oh also passed someone on a black fixed coming south on new kent road as I was going north this morning before 9, he was all wrapped up - we eyed each other for a moment and I nodded at him, but I think it was lost in all the layers...

saw someone yesturday who yelled out 'matt' and waved as you rode towards the end of clerkenwell road near high holborn, i was avoiding the dude next to me who was throwing off his chain, but i managed a half arsed wave back, i didn't get a good look at who it was, hello to you though. i saw micheal on clerkenwell road too shortly after.

and today (around 9:30) i saw the lady on the pink mercian with the white spiral seat post, oddly without the bike and disguised as a pedestrian. :D

cor. facinating stuff eh?

I always look like I go really fast, it's the gearing ;)
