Spotted...

Also, laterspots of @Orko42 and @Cazakstan on Friday when I was on my way to pick up Rai from nursery. Nice to roll with some Thundercats for a short while.

Then @EEI RLJing his Brompton onto Leyton High Road on Saturday afternoon. I was Dadengering so didn't holler. Just shook my head in shame. For shame... :)

That's the one -
unusual to see skidding in these ends

Just seen some absolute whopper on his LAPIOVRA with deep carbon rear and trispoke front lose his aviators riding like a muppet down Bishopsgate. I lolled.

was probably me.. good work recognising just the sleeve =P

@roboto good to roll with you however briefly.
Pretty awesome day to be out and about again today.

Yeah, hey man! Stop for a coffee next time, I want to perv on your Look.

Haha! Yeah, I will when I'm not late one day. I had a Indra moment this morning where my chain exploded as I put down my sprinting power from the lights. Had to use the Look as an expensive scooter to go to the nearest LBS and get a new chain.

DAS'd too many people from Stratford to Hammersmith at around 10pm after a buzzing track session, shout if you were one of them.
P.S sorry for riding like a prick.

This morning, guy who made his own frame from wood track standing at the lights at Waterloo!

Think said whopper may have just freshly robbed his steed :(

Yours? Could describe the dude.

Thanks Croft, not mine though- just seen a stolen FB post for that same bike, messaged the owner so he may well be in touch. Hope he gets it back/ whopper face plants.

Got DAS'd at the top of Fountain Drive this morning by three riders, one of whom was fixing a flat.

I discovered it is very difficult to skid a single speed bike with canti brakes on a downhill slope. I did try though.

Lovely day for a ride out into Kent, hope you enjoyed it.

@Ludd on the OKR this morning.

Hi @croft , did the LAPIOVRA look like the one in the picture with Deda streetisimo bars? Is it possible that the rear wheel you saw actually is a deep-rim from state bicycle in black but not carbon? See: https://stolen-bikes.co.uk/stolen-bikes/brick-lane-bikes-la-piovra-air/
Because my LAPIOVRA has been stolen a few days ago. It is a very unique bike so if you see it is most probably mine.

Here is the description:

-Frame: BLB La Piovra in Black Chrome
-Fork: Planet X full carbon road fork in matt black
-Headset: Cane Creek integrated headset in black and white
-Front wheel: HED 3 clincher track version 700c
-Rear wheel: State Bicycle black rim and spoke with green hub (flip-flop hub) with 16T cog. Damaged braking surface.
-Tyres: Schwalbe Durano Skid
-Stem: 3T Arx-Pro
-Crankset: Black Sturmey Archer

• Handlebars and grips (upgrade not shown on the picture): Deda Streetisimmo bars black and white and Cinelli Mike Giant Art lock-on grips in black and white.
  -Saddle: State Bicycle stock saddle in black
  -Seatpost: Guizzo carbon seatpost
  -BB: State Bicycle stock bb
  
  

Thanks for your time, please contact me if you have any info! Thanks @Raksy

Sound like you need new brakes / blocks? B-)

Good to see you - I did consider riding the bmc to work today, honest!

Ha. One day i'll spot you on it. It'll probably just make me annoyed I sold it...

It did have a trip out into Kent last Monday, smooth as a very smooth thing.

@countryboj and @DragunovCZ1 heading towards old street round about just now I believe? Hard to tell with the sun in my eyes

Hiyaaaa!

Young lady in cut-off denims, on a bike, going up and over Highgate and then on up to Muswell Hill Sainsbury's about an hour ago. And she was not hanging about. Reprezent.

@Digger this morning between New Cross and Peckham. Heard, then spotted of course!

@Ordinata in RP

Edit. Brain fail. Bugger thought you JB (as only ever spotted by) Good evening for it. First 50k of the year...even got my Mamil on. You weren't the blue PX? Should have said hello! or DAS etc.
