no its definetly not a leader, the brazing has been smoothed off looks almost like steel. a guy at my work said dolan, but i dont know. it might be an independant fabrication thing fuck knows. he works in the fixie shop in soho i think he said

Also someone on Kennington Road the other with a picture of Sheldon Brown's face stuck to their mudguard.
Oooh, I think I saw the same chap - in a Foska Marmite top - this evening going west along Embankment - I was on his wheel from Parliament Square to Vauxhall Bridge. Was going to compliment him on the sticker but he shot off down Grosvenor Rd whilst I headed over the Bridge. Steed was a Pompino.

A Lemond conversion with slack chain in very short dropouts and a Specialized trispoke on the front in my work car park this morning. It joins a lovely green vintage Raleigh conversion, and a tasty carbon fibre Colnago road bike with Campag Chorus and FSA cranks, A chrome Charge Plug, a never-ridden Fuji Track, a Pearson and a bunch of Unipacks

well the axle is part of the hub, which is part of the wheel. see my logic.
nicebike, im assuming it was yours. its pretty spiffy, rare to see such smooth brazing on an alloy frame. I'm the lanky guy who was behind the counter BTW.
also BTW Titanium FTW

Shouted DAS at a guy on a spok'd White Bianchi, with a slack chain. He looked pissed off. Behind him there was someone on a purple Olmo, after the pissed off face of white bianchi guy I didn't DAS him.
Also; Spotted by my friends: I have had 2 phonecalls in the last week from worried friends. There is someone with a yellow Edwardes that isn't me. Identify yourself. You were spotted in Angel and Clapham respectively.

did I spot you heading north through Peckham 6.30 ish this evening??

on the topic of DAS'ing i almost never get this, and if i do i never hear because of my habit of listening to music while riding. but i used to do this about 20 times a day and when i realized about only 1 person a week would do it i just stopped bothering. a lot of people look like they get offended, because they are hipsters and know it and dont like being mocked either that or they aren't forum members and don't know about it

Nope, came home through Camberhell today. There is some criminal pot-holage in the buslane that runs along the green coming from Walworth Rd.
Snow days must've opened up a bypass to the fifth circle of hell.
I'll pop into Edwardes in the week and ask who they sold another yellow one to, considering they gave me this frame discounted because they couldn't sell it in this colour, it must've stuck in their memory if they had to make a yellow one for someone else.

This just makes it more worthwhile when they DO skid. But yes, you're right, these days it's becoming quite redundant.

I think i spotted TricityBendix and perhaps Scott-not-scott on precott this morning at about 730ish... I think i saw a girl on purlpe rims followed a few seconds later by a blonde wavey haired chap...

I bought a pair of trousers from him yesterday, the frame is a pro-line with stickers removed.
he's also a nice bloke for what its worth.
as for spotted - angel few days back, rider on red fixed who saw me muck up unclicking from my cleats and fall to the ground. I missed the make after i went splat, but think i got a sympathetic nod to ease my embarrassment.
was the first day of owning them - got used to it now.
