thank you v much
posy

i'm actually a dudette...

Sorted.

Trying to make the title more informative so people can sort you out.

maybe this?

or offer 300 to this

thank you eyebrows.. am getting in touch..
let me know of anything else you see much appreciated!

yeah was thinking that myself.. just tried my bosses and it seems fookin massive.. think 54 yeah?

Whereas I'm a smidge under six foot, and I ride a 58… Try before you buy. All the way.

or even a 52? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Whitcomb-Track-Bike-52cm-Cinelli-Fixed-Wheel-SPD_W0QQitemZ160226513861QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160226513861

I'm 5'8" and I ride a 54 if that helps.

Posy, why don't you ask Helen what size hers is. You seemed pretty comfortable on that

yeah def want one brake.

hmm thats prob right.
roberto has a couple in about the right size.
Frame + fork + BB + headset = £170

Same deal 51cm, drilled = £180

im 6ft6 and i ride a 63, it wont help you chose a frame, i just like saying it.

yeah but you're built like a frog...;)

i really have no idea how to respond to that.
The images are rather overwhelming. :)

not really, no, because you're a vegan, and thus deformed.

best to just admit i'm right kermeyyyy...:)

You best not mess with me, biatch, or I'll unload a whole loada Miss Piggy whoop-ass on yo, erm, ass.

Yeah.
:)

Hey posy, if you're thinking of going off the peg you should maybe give ride to work scheme a go? A mates just got himself a flyer 08 shaved off a few £££.

All right Dixo!

This is slightly more than your price, but it's a wicked bike for the money

Oh yeah, and Bike to Work means you can pay it off monthly and your employer gets a tax break - that's the way Mackenzie got hers, I think it's costing around £40 a month

ok.. so firstly i really don't want to buy a new bike. not sure why but i think it is against my religion have never ever bought a bike new from a shop and not going to start now.

also i am self employed (yey) so think that ride to work thing is a non starter.. but i can probably wipe some of the cost off my tax bill which is sweet.

so back to starters.. calling out anyone with a second hander to sell or something that can be knocked together (i will pay for the service of course!)

cheers again.. p

what about that one on Gumtree? Did you call them?

I think the whitcomb won't go for too much, and i think its a good deal.

posy, if i were you I'd watch the whitcomb closely.

cough cough!!

scratch that, it doesn't have a brake....hmmm.

that whitcombes getting hounded!! juliet whats the size of your frame? and if thats got no brakes is it easy for me to fit a front one?
