yeah, on the lo pro.. you were ahead of me all the way through the traffic but then i think you struggled on london bridge with your spinny ratio..
ah, i wasn't going to guess - i got 4 out of 18 on the first quiz on this - http://alllooksame.com/exam_room.php
but then so did my g/f and she's chinese..
PS.. your bike is sweet, i was always under the impression that polo was played on skip rescue jobs and raleigh lizards

To the geezer on the Ti Condor this evening on the Old Kent Road (beautiful bike by the way):
No; I don't normally ride like such a penis - that gap was clearly far too small to safely fit through
and...
Yes; that will teach me for concentrating more on what to say about your bike than on negotiating rush hour traffic

I saw gilbert and george today in brick lane.
Correction; i performed an evasive manoeuvre to avoid hitting gilbert and george as they stepped out into the road without looking.
Surreal. Well not so much seeing gilbert and george (they're always around brick lane), as nearly knocking them over.
They eat in the same Turkish gaff me and the missus go too. Always at the same time apparently as well. Love a good bit of awkward eye contact action me like.

That's 99% purple_mj on here. A high Rapha quotient would confirm.

Someone on a white TT frame around Clapham Common tube at about 4 ish, huge front ring, single STI type brake lever on pursuit bars, slack chain, listening to music. Hello.
All black IRO Stealthbike™ with some sort of hipster front wheel, possibly Spinergy, on Poynders road at about 7.

monday morning; an irish woman in knightsbridge shouting very loudly at me, 'you shouldn't even be going, it's on red' as she was crossing the road. to which i replied, 'it's not on green for you either, you stupid cunt'.
probably a bit harsh but a relatively fair point. -

hello nhatt! was a bit of a late spot for me, and bizarre as i was just telling my friend i was riding with how awesome your bike was when you appeared! heh.
spotted just after nhatt, a dude with super super shiny deep rims heading north and a brakless stickered up gazelle outside morning lane tesco. a lush blue and silver curvy lo pro on oxford street earlier.
also, spotted mr adoubletap at grays inn/theobalds junction yesterday arvo. waaaay to much traffic to bother shouting a hello tho!

Nice to see you on 22 (Quiet route) today, Sniffeh. I was late for a private view at an exhibition in Hipster Hoxton, this is why I did not stop for a chat. It was shit anyway, and they'd already ran out of beer when I got there. Honestly Hoxton, why do I bother?
We have to solve the mystery of the Condor(s). The one I'm on about is red, but FILTHY, can just about make out yellow decals, including vertical 'Condor' on the forks as you look at the bike from the front. It is in dire need of a service, and I suspect some irish is using it as a pub bike without knowing its value.

Actually just coaster brake only, she recently got foot retention already so she can able to control her speed more easily now.
sneaky!
