Spotted...

OCD - I'm a first year at Imperial. I work in the Science Museum Waterstone's though on Saturdays to help bring some dollar in otherwise I would be a very very poor student. Although in fairness I do tend to spend the majority of money on drink or bike parts.

wayne_f14 spotted -

eeeehhhhh

in my LBS drooling over the wheels that were being built for me, started chatting and found out who he was and that he was on the forum.

which was nice.

Yeah, first time I had seen phils in the flesh. Pretty damn shiny - bit too shiny for me, which is a good thing really because I certainly can't afford them anyway, haha. I think my pair of Goldtecs is worth the same as that single hub!

[cite]dogsballs[/cite]i'm at imperial, but me bikes hides :p , well sorta

You not riding here then? Or do you mean it's in the bike storage place thing. You might see me about - usually with a massive camo PAC bag, with a black Brompton.

i ride a black hammeritted holdsworth, not that you could tell it is that. no comment on brompton riders! :p

DB WTF is that avatar??

(Answer - not my mum)

exactly what you think it is ;)

Sorry to jump in, but I've been wondering the same thing... I was worried that it would be, but I've tried to ignore it...

:^{ ] }

pj how did you take the decals off?

Use Mangers multi purpose paint & varnish stripper, available (probably) from any leyland SDM store. Be advised, this will work on any frame but it will also strip the paint off as well (its fine if your bike is chromed, like the pista is)

The pista is clearcoated though so you need to eat through that with the varnish stripper first. I didnt bother taking the clearcoat off the whole bike, i just did it roughly to the ends of the 3 tubes with decals on them. Looks fine.

ahhh... that was a good night. Cept she kept wantng to play the birdie song whilst we were at it ;-)

She told me I was the only one!

The bitch!

spotted: girl riding a royal blue bike, couldn't see the make, single-speed or fixed (her legs kept on going round but it was only for a few seconds while i stood and stared so may have freewheeled subsequently), she had on a yellow top and slightly longer than shoulder length hair. going down malet street about 1 hour ago, no hands on the handlebars. who was it?
nb, there are a shed load of fixed and singlespeed folk i see around here, way too many to post!

photoben ahhh... that was a good night. Cept she kept wantng to play the birdie song whilst we were at it ;-)

but looks like she forgot to take her knickers off and you still have your boxers on.

so u probably dont have to worry tommy

spotted girl on a charge plug wearing bright red socks in colliers wood/tootin, i know you brought it from moose and you post on here but can't remember your name.
only there is something wrong with your bike, i think i saw you freewheel on it? you need to take it back to the shop and get that fixed.

Spotted outside Ealing Broadway, some blonde dude (I think? hehe) getting riding away on a black Pearson.

The word "Pearson" looks a lot like "person" when you've been at work for ten hours.

haha go home! soweto! :)

by now we most def. have scared the last female in this forum away..
they are too busy riding probably anyway..but I find it a bit over the top to be honest

Well, she is a bit over the top..

hippy Well, she is a bit over the top..

LOL, yeah, I guess I was asking for that one..Cheers..

ok.. so i'm not gonna mention aidan, turd ferguson, stompy, ma3k, or any of the other lfgss people who i saw tonight (there were quite a few others too). BUT i will say critical mass was fixing awesome! and a big HELLO to all the great other people who i met tonight - neil, the guy on the langster, carlie (or was it kylie?), and all the other people who i am now too hungry to remember. Welcome :)

d0cA such a comment may result in my death! Stompy wasnt joking when he said he'd kill me! Lucky i live within 4 miles radius of a hill :)

Saw estelle (hope i spelled it right) on critical mass (good crack!), i like your forks.

Also hi to the guy who fucking hates fixies & singlespeeds, who abused me on brixton road. somehow i get the feeling you regularly check this site (but obviously in secret, in a darkened room, with no clothes on. You cunt.)

docA - that's probably karly on her duckworth yes? australian lady? she's very nice.

dogsballs no comment on brompton riders! :p

I know I know :P

pj docA - that's probably karly on her duckworth yes? australian lady? she's very nice.

that's the one!! i met her the first day i had my bike, last month: i had just got my bike *that*day and been on critical mass, riding home when i saw her. we chatted at some lights and she told me to go fixed; the next day on the docklands night ride i did! this time, again after critical mass bumped into her as i was arriving at the john snow and she was just leaving. yeah, 'twas a duckworth - named after the coronation street character, she told me. wonderful! nice bike, great girl, lotta respect and a big hello :)
now i'm off rock climbing at the castle, so i wonder how many people i'll see up there.

no-one ever sees me.

i can only conclude, despite spending nearly every waking hour on my bicycle, that i am too fast for the naked eye.
