"some pissed up forumenger might have a pop"

You were fucking thinking of me when you wrote that! I'll have you know that I've not touched a single drop since... ahh... 'nother pint?

haha indeed :) There is much trolling of newbies, i seem to have come off lightly so far...

I have seen many v narrow bars, the guys riding them seem to think they look cool, not honestly that bothered as long as I can nip thru traffic easy enuf.

There seems to be a backlash against risers amongst many on this site, made for amusing reading at least, opinion on bullhorns/ pursuits seems divided. Seems like a darned expensive way of finding a comfy riding position.

Anyone selling fairly narrow [i am a med size woman] bullhorns/ risers/ flats/ noodle nittos/ etc for me to try out? My current drops are a 42

I have some risers which you can have for the princely sum of nothing, just roll up to South Beers and pick them up.

The disclaimer here being, in a Q and A format:
Q What clamp diameter
A Beats me

Q How wide are they
A Erm

Q What make are they
A No idea

Q What are they made of
A Probably aluminium, well, metal at least

Q Where did you get them
A Off an old mountian bike which I pulled out of a skip

So, if you want them after that they are yours

I was pissed up when I wrote that but was, as is usual, a happy drunk.

might have to resort to talking crap to get the postcount up

I agree with this poast.

Two.

morgybaby, if you've got nothing good to post, don't post it. Comment on stuff which amuses you, enlightens you, or confuses you, don't use your first five posts as number count until you can start your own thread. That way leads to opprobrium and possible banishment by our esteemed leader velocity boy, also it marks you out as a bit of **** (insert own four letter expletive here).
So for the love of (insert own hallowed religious icon here) please don't do it. Ask questions, banter join in the spreading of information, but don't just post the numbers leading upto five in random threads.

that is all..

New Person Alert!

hello, I've just moved to London but I seemed to leave all my friends behind. Many of them didn't ride bikes, what was wrong with them? And my house mates woulld rather get a taxi to work than borrow my fixed wheeled Martin when their bike was knackered.

that is all for now

@owenreed.

That's no good.
You can't just post once and leave it at that.

You...

Like I really need to post this way?

Seriously, though... Don't try this at home kids - you'll get dropped before you can shout "I love my new pretzel shaped bar ends!"

How many letters?

1 down. very sensible though.

If it's seven letters, I think it might be 'prudent'.

Hi - new here so diving in...splosh.

psychlist... inventive.

Inventive-ironic or inventive-wow what an original name? I need to tune in here.

Assuming that it isn't the inevitable typo...

If it's seven letters, I think it might be 'prudent'.
