Spotted...

WHOA, new news on the Red Condor Mystery. My little brother says the Trispoke Condor is, in fact the pub bike Condor.

Who takes a trispoked Condor to the pub and locks it AROUND A TREE?!

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.

I suggest we lay in ambush one evening! get flxh along too, CPT is a great spy post 6.30-till 7.30. otherwise, we just storm the Castle, guns blazing..... ;)

Sorry Mr Gent, I too was in a rush! apologies. Made me laugh at the grunt of a hello i managed to muster up for ye! had been blasting down the path destroying plodders.....;)

He/she must be from the real Dulwich... as in The Village, I mean.....really. pub bike!!!

saw charco lucking it over the lights from vestry road in to whichever runs opposite in camberwell earlier. on his polo rig spinning his lovely little heart out.

i was on cruising on the chesini. on a mission home to sort out some much needed polo rig maintenance so sadly no newington for me tonight.

lol

should have seen the way it was locked up! outside the EDT last weekend.

i was tempted to go and get my scissors and be off with it.

ninja spotted dammit just off borough high street this evening with the same far off look he had whilst riding on the track day.

whihc means our commute must cross twice a day, what route do you take?

Mornings I go down the A2, Lewisham/Peckham/Camberwell to Oval, then try to go as fast as I can along Kennington Road to Waterloo.

Evenings I normally do the same in reverse, however this time I had to zip home to get the car (burn him!) to pick up camping gear for the weekend.

Odd that you should mention the track- for the first time in ages I felt "strong" whilst riding, really turned the pedals like I meant it down OKR.

If I had had this form at the track I might have done slightly more than exercising my 1000 yard stare!

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

Hmmm. Interesting. I'm coaster brake only, but didn't feel like foot retention was helping my stopping power, instead I got grumpy with the having to change feet at stop lights with my feet being retented.
Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

"retented"; I love you Nhatt. The word doesn't exist but it should and I am going to use it from now on :)

I conjugate. so sue me.

pretty much a perfect example of having foot retention on coaster, her bike is less a town bike, more of a path racer which she often cane it leaving me in the dust trying to keep up with her (which seemed to happen more and more regularly now much to my annoyance), so having foot retention helped greatly.

I suppose because your bike is more of a dutch-ordinated than a singlespeed racer where you don't really need foot retention, althought those JOL strap seemed pretty handy for the offending crank not being on the retented feet.

Bristly pioneer looking ever bit dennis the menace this morning.... I was bussenging. never again!

Heavily stickered-up something-or-other with deep rims at Strongroom Bar last night, I was glass-collectengering

A big woooo! from Buddha Fingaz this morning on an empty embankment.

Hello motherfucker!

Haha epic spot! Top of the morning to you too mate

Aleksi this morning crossing Rosebury Avenue. Also spotted on Rosebury: grey brakless fixed with a seat stay bridge that looked very similar to a Geekhoose fork. Anyone on here? Nice bike. What is it?

I conjugate. so sue me.

The correct word is "retainificated".
probably.

Retun?

Spotted at waterloo station last night, green steel conversion with yellow (?) bits on frame. Anyone on here?

Photoben opposite Carluccio's in Canary Wharf... Lovely to see you, dude, and so, so dapper! Have passed on your details to my friend, Leonie, she remembers you from Trinity/Mirror... Expect a call soon... ;]

Cheers man, and good to see you too. Will be a regular thing now - me in the wharf on a tuesday morning suited and booted. But fuck taking the tube! Anyone got any good suggestions for transporting a suit, shirt and shoes on a bike?

Just now spotted miss socks!

This morning I saw a guy on a silver brakeless singlespeed.....and a helmet.

fucking funny.

I see a chap rocking the brakeless/skate helmet/high viz vest combo from time to time.

Shirt and shoes survive pretty well in a bag if you fold the shirt well before stuffing it in.

Suit is going to be the issue- can you not leave it at either the office you have to go to or with someone who works in the Wharf?

Oh, spotted andyp on Upper St last night before spotting myself destroying an Afghan feast.

I spotted you first.

This is true... I initially thought you were attempting to steal my handbag.
