Konijn on Brixton Rd
'tis a good looking bike, I nearly missed it though, totally spaced out on day 4 of a sinus cold and trying to crawl home with 50 psi in the rear tyre.

Velocio & ladystardust, walking, pfft, on Waterloo Bridge.
Walking is better than driving.
Velocio, Chiswick High Road...can't miss that bike (although the cap gave it away too)...I've been cycling that road for weeks and was pretty elated to see a forumenger (or the uber-forumenger..?)
I was pretty stoked to see you too, especially since you shouted do a skid and it gave me a jump.
Velocio's doppelganger on Blackfriars Road, 8.15... Was wearing one of those stupid gas-mask things and the bike was something mere mortals would ride so probably not him... Rikardo Polo on El Puente de la Torre... Otra vez... Lovely morning for a ride, most road users seemed quite chilled today... Nice...
That one wasn't me. I don't have one of those masks or a bike for mortals.

Mmmm, lovely. Felt weird but ace riding gears for the first time in over 3 years. Didn't really get out of the inner front ring but then whacked it up to the outer ring(53t) on Kennington Rd and booted it all the way to the park from the lights near the OB station/Three Stags, overtaking several lycra'd up, helmet wearing 'gearies'
Kennington Road has gotta be one of the best stretches of road to boot it down on a bike... Love it... Glad you're loving the Pinar, I'll need to have a looksie soon...

Glanced at someone in norf lundun tonight who appeared to be rockin' your "clear frame glasses" look. Thought it might've been you but didn't recog the bike (or the face to be honest).

Fucken love this guy. I see him all the time, from Old St to Sloane St to Upper Richmond Rd. Last time I saw him he shouted "Nice bike!!!" as he overtook me on Sloane St. He may be fast but I soon overtook him again and utterly destroyed the dude on King's Rd. It was fucking fun racing him and I've got to hand it to the guy - he can spin. He must ride about 60GI.
Yeah, he was saying that he reckons he's the best sprinter in London 'cause he stops for every light... funny fecker. He did have a rant at some cars too. Still was good to actually meet someone interesting on that stretch rather than mindless riders riders you tend to see through there

It was my second time on Pinarello geared up.
I found myself using the smallest cog all the time and only flipping the front shifter to 53 ring every now and then.Where's the point? :-)
By the way, saw Digger and Object going for a hipster coffee to LMNH.
And to the guy on a fixed Merckx riding down Eastway. I didn't want to scare you. I meant it when I shouted "Nice bike".

Loved it geared, I feel riding fixed for years somehow made me start to appreciate the benefit of a geared bicycle.

OK, I like coasting.

I too like a big ring (fnarr fnarr), but use it all the time and this happens:

I was with eei when we saw object! top bloke
Nope. I went past a guy in full Postal kit the other night.
Not sure if he had a Trek or not since he was kinda blurred as I shot past. ;)
