Spotted...

Long and winding wending your way to work this a.m. through Acton. I woz automobilenger, through and you rode away from me before I could "DAS"

Its a jungle out there...

well it was Elephant and Castle, so, yes.

Oh also I forgot, who was the chap on the green and white fixie skidder, with barber shop pole seat tube in West Ealing around 9am last Thursday, heading East?
You had a LFGSS hat on, I shouted D.A.S. nothing. You looked familiar also.

That sounds like it could be me, if so, sorry I didn't hear you! Though with an epic hangover & running late for work that day it might not have happened anyway.

Will listen out more for next time!

I was so suprised at actually seeing another forumenger that far west, that it took me a while to shout at you. I was walking on the pavement going the other way.

No miss spot. Twas I. I was giving eyes to eveyone this morning. Trying to ebb out my journey and avoid actually getting to work.... I nearly turned around to follow you. I'm so over work atm. But belated BONJOUR Sir!

You had a "haters gonna hate" face on.. Made me smile all the way to work

Yeah sounds like the guy! I was on the purple hipster bike going spinny spinny spinny whilst some guy on a piranello road bike kept undertaking everyone, the dick.

Was it an FP3? I've seen him a few times. If it is him, I spoke to him a few weeks ago and he scoffed at the fact I was riding a "lowly" FP2 at the time. W@nker.

bright green full face helmet and goggles.

saw a chap dressed as such in the indoor bit of the gosport ferry yesterday. safety first.

Dude this morning on Jamaica road, red bullhorns and symmetrical calf tatoos?

Normal drops, but that's me, just before 9?

you weren't on that nice looking purple bike were you? campy hat?

Edit: I see it was, yeah the beardy pinarello fella was riding like a tit

Sorry i have no idea, i'm not too hot on road bikes and/or Piranellis! He does look like a smug cunt though and has an air of sneer about him. I see him at least one a week, tempted to put a massive gear on the hipster special and burn past him, that'll piss him off!

Yes mate thats me! I was sure i saw bullhorns but my attention was divided between the "Piranello undertaker" and my fellow fixed gear rider. Good to see you, will say hi next time!

sounds like the bloke I saw last week. It's a cinelli mash.

and it bears repeating - he was also wearing a bright green full face helmet and goggles.

He lives Herne Hill way.

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.

Perhaps he thought you were being a bit "stalky".

Top of the mornin' to ya!

I'd better get me to the DAS School of Fixie Skiddin' pronto ...

saw two chaps, one on a dolan, one on an unknown aero bike with a curvy seat tube.
both had deep rims and no brakes going past leicester square station at about 9am.
there is no way that they are not on this forum.

konjin, saturday morning, turning into the tesco's on acre lane, wrapped up against the cold on the orange holdsworth, didn't get a chance to call out, as I was pelting it down acre lane myself, on the saturday morning shopping run..

From Peckham to Vauxhall Bridge this morning, silver frame with black forks and track drops, brakeless, chrome messenger bag. Good morning to you (if you're on here) don't normally see anybody riding fixed on my commute.

Can I just say on behalf of bearded Pinarello riders that we are not all smug, sneering, undertaking cunts. Thankyou.

Oh and may I say that he also sounds like a snob too?

I never said you were buddy, just the one on Jamaica Rd. Unless your feeling guitly about something hmmm...

hillbilly nr E&C this morning. nice trackstand.

About 6.30? That was me. Good to know the skid sent positive vibes.

yep nice one.

somebody at LMNH this lunchtime, slackers united, innit? Bobby, ex of BLB, outside 14... EEI at LMNH later... Aidan, Mikeymerk and Harry Major at their places of work, but that doesn't really count, does it? Lovely day to be out riding your bike when you should really be at home slaving in front of a computer screen... Life's too short, eh?

get a job, hippy.

5pm-ish: tall white guy carrying black Chrome bag with white stripe, greyish cycling gloves and tight black trousers in QMUL Geography Dept. I have a hunch this could be Sumo.

[/stalker]

Ok, so who's responsible for the 'Do a skid!' note left on my bike at QM? Tony? Made me smile.

And I spied the Pro Winner outside drapers lecture theatre, looking good Sumo.

Tony-yeah that was me. Those gloves are meant to be white...
Note wasn't from me, so must be Tony. And cheers, not my first choice of locking up places but literally the last place left.
