Spotted...

Someone just sent me a text asking if it was me on the blue fixie. It was but I don't have their number. Own up!!

did they use the word 'fixie'? if so its good you don't have there number.

Fixie fixie fixie mmm fixie

they did use the word fixie, and they haven't fookin replied yet. I can't stand the suspense!!

god no!

To be honest aidan I thought it might have been you! But then i realised i have your number.

how dare you...if i would use the word fixie...or text you..

asm they did use the word fixie, and they haven't fookin replied yet. I can't stand the suspense!!

is it the geoffrey 'fixie' you ritually butchered?

I didn't butcher it, brick lane bikes did. :)

...It was a laugh as a geared bike, but the brake pads habitually making a bid for freedom, and the fact that you couldn't change gear, and also the fact that you had to wash your hands every time you touched the bar tape, kind of got old pretty fast.

the red tape was a little bit on the 'greasy' side.

but the bar end shifters looked good. maybe you shoulda asked BLB to service it rather than 'violate' the cranks...

:)

Hah, it was roberto who texted me, by the way. I'm surprised (and mildly flattered) that he still has my number! Hello to you. $£$€!

dogsballs [quote]Sam My first spot!

Dale on the junction with Cromwell Road and Exhibition Road. Sorry for the late spot, I was totally monged out and must have looked a right state. Got completly shitfaced on Wednesday and still suffering.

Good you see you again!!

Note to self: must make Thursday beers soon, must make Thursday beers soon

dude, you looked right at me, then my bike, rode past, then i yelled out. pfff, spot my arse!![/quote]

Well, my though process from 50 yards (45.72 metres) out went like this:

"Fixed gear bike. Risers. Trackstand. Is that Dale? No, no peaked hat. Look again at the bike. Who the fuck is calling my name?"

As I said, I was fecking tired.

I did turn my head and wave, but you were too interested in dodging traffic.

Seen a few times over the last week some weird two bike welded together trailer cart contraption thing outside Blackfriars bridge station. Seen it at 70:30 in the morning and at 9:30 am so must camp out for the day or maybe just the rush hour. Never been able to get a proper look at it. Anyone have any ideas?

This morning said hello to Jonny on Russell Square. Wasn't looking too out of puff for an old man ;o)

He's parked right opposite my office, does bike repairs/fixes punctures for folks that don't know how...
Amazing contraption he's got there, he seems to get quite a bit of business...

Conan Monopoly rider on camberwell green just now, red white lo pro and stags head, was definatly turning heads!!

I saw him on Saturday whizzing past me on Coldharbour Lane - Gold stags head wasn't it? I was driving a van at the time. Great costume, looked a bit top heavy!

Emily. Outside my Richmond office, about 2 seconds ago. Happy Birthday sweetie.

dam hipster even has risers on his bike.

damn and i thought that pic was NYC in the 80's and those West Indians were showing them yanks what a real bike is.

DOH!

Teenslain styling and profiling across the Strand at about 4.30 AJ1s always a good look.
