Spotted...

Yep - I think it helps :-)

She doesn't look that short, more like standard girl height if you ask me. I'm usually a pretty good judge of height

irl, or just from photos/tv? It's surprising how these things work sometimes. I've just watched the hovis advert on youtube and I think it pretty much was her. She's well short.

Both. Mostly judging by her saddle height and limb length

She's 5'5"

Which is pretty short.

Whats the costs in importing a Canyon?

Just the postage and they now have UK customer service contact too.

Which is pretty short.

And pretty much the average height of women in the UK (well, 5'4).

What Ed said. 5'5" isn't short, it's above average height. Here's a table, which may or may not be a good collection of estimates, but it seems credible:

Men:
U.K. – England 1.776 m (5 ft 10 in) 25–34 Measured 2008
U.K. – England 1.753 m (5 ft 9 in) Adults Measured 2008
U.K. – Scotland 1.782 m (5 ft 10 in) 25–34 Measured 2008
U.K. – Scotland 1.750 m (5 ft 9 in) Adults Measured 2008
U.K. – Wales 1.770 m (5 ft 9 1⁄2 in) Adults Measured 2009

Women:
U.K. – England 1.637 m (5 ft 4 1⁄2 in) 25–34 Measured 2008
U.K. – England 1.616 m (5 ft 3 1⁄2 in) Adults Measured 2008
U.K. – Scotland 1.635 m (5 ft 4 1⁄2 in) 25–34 Measured 2008
U.K. – Scotland 1.613 m (5 ft 3 1⁄2 in) Adults Measured 2008
U.K. – Wales 1.620 m (5 ft 4 in) Adults Measured 2009

And pretty much the average height of women in the UK (well, 5'4).

The average height of Canadian Witches is greater. :)

Morning for yesterday Ray!

GeorgeSportif in exactly the same place a Shins yesterday! Morning.

Yup! Sorry you had to see those rims so early in the morning!

Pretty sure I saw Fridaymarch26th on upper street earlier, by Angel, carrying something on the bars? Could be wrong, was only a brief sighting. And Regal I think, going into lmnh with his new steed, I recog'd it from current projects [/forumwhore]. 'sa good'un. And the dashing mmmmmmmmcathy, of course. And a fellow fixxieskiddah warrior on bainbridge street by the starbucks, trying to give me directions as I stared at my map, looking lost...thanks for the help...dunno if he's on here. Anyway, hai!

Some dude track-standing his way down trinity road on a condor pista, with a purple aerorage on the back.

I've decided that one guy track-standing looks radical, but two doing it side by side looks ridiculousI It was fun though - don't see many bikes on that road - let alone ss's and fg's.

Spotted Lond and Winding riding past Gunnersbury Park, ignored me on my Brompton :-(

Aw shucks ... holler next time, I'll be looking out for you!

And I pointed out Brompton to a pal I was giving a lift to Heathrow last week too!

I've nearly mastered the transportation of a loo roll value pack from Sainsbury's to home. Departure's often sketchy, but I'm relatively stable once I've found a little speed.

I'd seen JAMIE outside Condor, and then Ludwig inside, only half an hour earlier.

I thought it was work or something...good job I didn't clock the loo roll, I might've crashed into the bus in front of me if I'd seen it...

John ma3k crossing kingsland road this afternoon

Are you Tom who I met at LMNH last summer? As far as I remember you were riding a Colnago road bike and did some art/decorations for LMNH, including a Raleigh (?) Milk Race frame with some sort of crochet covering ?

Sorry if I've got the wrong person mate.

tom isn't on here much max but yes that will be him. he has a wicked Colnago road bike. and a lot of style

Scoble.... commenting on todays Yehuda Moon comic!!!!

Thanks! Now, you [miles] have to remind me what you ride/look like because as I remember, you live near me?

Do I? I live in Catford so always good to see another rider deep south!

The ride... http://www.lfgss.com/post1897450-39528.html

Spotted 2 Paris to london fixed. Lovely spot in Paris:/) plus I went to out of my way to find a bloke who rode bianchi with mirrored h+sons and he turned to be a bit of a dick. I had to speak to a French bouncer, and an owner of a pub to find you, to find out if you're part of a Paris fgss or such. I was disappoint son, you were a prick. you were a smug I'm cool French hipster with bad hair. May your brooks be wet when you ride tonight...

its so annoying when this happens, you go out of your way to be nice to someone about their bike etc.
then they just give you look of disdain or something similar.

last night on charlotte street, i was sat having a ciggie break at work, i was the one who said do a skid, you did, hello mate, that cheered me up, had a bad day at work!

It hacked me off. If someone from Paris found me in a bar because he saw my bike and recognised, I'd be like "sweet dude! What you ride? You must be serious if you had to find me to say nice bike." I wasn't some pleb, I knew what your bike was, the rim and hubs were and I knew it was fixed. Fuck I must know something.

He was a right real nob.

This data is three years old, Oliver. I am disappoint.

He did not want my nob.

Its shit when your best chat up lines get rebuffed.
