Newcastle Rides

spotted a red klein, with risers and front brake locked by the northumbria law school/business school (a few times, now). also spotted of.the.time riding up shields, on my way to exams.

won't be around this weekend, but the one after that (21st) may be primetime for a repeat effort to the coast. a fellow in my program who came along on a phil-tour hasn't made the trip yet, and these post-exam weeks are our best chance at getting out.

we have a forum!

the red klein is jays - 'the north'

I'm up for doing something soon although this weekend is booked up with car stuff. Should be cool for polo on tuesday though. Can I have a mallet head if theres one spare ??

i have a mallet head spare. do you want it for a mallet for tuesday or just want one in general?

mallet for tuesday would be swell. I just need a stick/shaft so I'll have a ratch around at work and see what I can find and ghetto mod to suit !!

New polo thread started in the sub-forum

whats the score with the ride tomorrow? Is it still on?

That was my happy persona. Really I'm a miserable grump.

philx, I've changed the permissions to let anyone post in here :)

V - Thanks!

Newcastle - Ride sunday?

Phil, that was me. Just remembered about this thread and thought I'd say hello.

Spotted a few more Fixed / S around Newcastle lately, in fact 2 in the space of about 5 mins on Friday. All good !

Spotted: Black frame, tiny risers with black grips, white ish pedals and clips, ghost walking past the forth.

Ride tomorrow if anyone is interested. 11am at monument.

I spotted you today too. I was admiring random tat at the quayside market and you were weaving through the crowds ! Bike looks awesome !

i too was at the quayside market this morning, all i saw was some kids on very nice trials bikes

Phil, yeah next time give me a shout, were you in the forth? I work underneath Electrik Sheep so always around there. It's an INDI 500 tange crmo frame, had a stock pista wheelset and changed the front one up a bit.

Thought I'd cut the bars too short at first but I like them now, might still look into some drops though.

Cheers Ricky, was a bit busy down there today ! Still an excuse for short bars, riding through markets...

So was anyone on here around Monument on Friday, about 1.30 ? Green SS ? Can't remember the colour of the 2nd bike I saw, but also around 1.30.

Also, got a friend interested in a first build / complete bike, he ain't too fussy on which. Anyone have any thing "lying around" for sale ?

Thought I'd try this first before the main classifieds section.

Frame / forks probably looking for. Or is the best bet RCYB on a Sat morning ?

Ta in advance ! M

What size? I've got a Claud Butler up here that I'm looking to sell...

how come you're selling sparky thought you just got it? you coming to polo tomorrow?

Cheers for the quick reply Sparky, 55-57 cm would be good.. he's pretty eager to get rolling !

Got any pics ?

You looked like you were in the zone ! haha
I know what you mean about narrow bars, and they look cool as hell but I think I'll be reverting back to wider risers in the near future !
With regards to Elekrtik Sheep, I thought I recognised you from somewhere !

Probably, mind firmly set on not toppling any ornate mirrors or DVD stacks !

Me too, these are 400mm, reckon I'll be adding 10-20mm to each side next time I cut a set..

Were you with Carmine on Sun ? Don't really know him but know who he is, and remember clocking him in the crowd.

I was indeed. We were peeping the amazing leather wallet stand !
