lol

welcome to the forum

hot damn. a newbie in heat.

who wants to go first?

i'll have to stick a photo up some time...that'll get you goin...or say 'fixie'...that would do it...definitely

it depends what the photo depicts..

ok .. just dont say it five times in front of a mirror.

mate!
don't even bother posting till you've got yourself kitted out with some fresh white arrospokk!

gusset bmx pedals

Get thee some clips & straps, sonny jim. You'll not be able to do 'siqq skids' without them. Well, not very easily, anyways...

sonny jim. .

love that phrase.

On a par patronising wise with ' young man ' and 'sunshine'

that bike sounds like a hot look!

Hello thebobbybobbob, enjoy the bike, kid... ;)

take it from mister k there bobby- you haven't got a bike until you've got aerospokes on it lol.

bmx pedals??

You can't just rock up wanting us to abuse you. You need to earn your slating through a series of important, nay, VITAL faux pas.

You've failed to try and offload some worthless crap for an over inflated price.
As mentioned above there is absolutely no mention of wanting an arrospok.
There's no superiority in your post!

I'd recommend that you get yourself a new user ID and try again. Best to put "[ame="http://www.londonfgss.com/member.php?u=1977"]London Fixed-gear and Single-speed[/ame]" to rest and resurrect yourself as something a little more hipster, a name which positively ooze's with contempt.

lots of BMX pedals have the holes to bolt toeclips to..

You must tell people about some stupid stuff you are doing, then make sure to act pissed off and defensive when people tell you that you are doing stupid stuff..
Then hang around on the forum for months and return only to post snide remarks about the people who pointed out the stupid stuff you were doing..
trust me - it's a winning combination. like SS with only a front break, or NoBrakes with really expensive tubs for street riding, or riding an offroad unicycle to Brighton, or...

Prav, stop telling him about all the stupid stuff I've been doing.

Ha, sounds like me with a stutter!

hehe - I've done 1.5 out of 3..
EDIT - @TOby - I've still got much love for the bike.. will post pics after thursday. :-)

Try adding "the fixie" or suchlike to your name

And then you'll be a man my son.....:p

cool, we were talking about your bike last night! You must try and get over to sarf lahndon for beers and show the steed off :)

SS with a front brake - classic! Guy on a charge smug yesterday SS with only a front brake at the top of Holland Park Rd. Asked if he thought that was a good idea - "been riding it like this for months"
Scooter pulls out on him on the descent and he almost kissed the pavement trying to stop.

poetic justice for all.

I'd be careful tho. some only look like they do, on wellgo pedals it's only possible to fit clips on upside-down!

dammit, holes for reflectors they must be.

although Max's BMW has large flats with clips, I noticed last night. looked quite useful
